At the risk of starting of fight, I think this guy's approach is truer to
the spirit of blues than most contemporary blues artists I hear, although
he doesn't adhere to the letter much...

Interested to know what others think…

Steve sticks his neck out:

Benjamin Darvill is truly funky. His use of the harp is exemplary and his music is  deeply rooted in the blues, with great intensity and groove. If you read any of his writings such as the Stool Pigeon columns, he clearly sees himself as a bluesman and his live shows offer convincing proof of the fact. I go with Ben F. on this one :-)
