I've never heard of this guy

I have heard of the harmonica player but the guitar player is the one I was impressed with. Steve Baker is pretty well known in Harmonica Circles. He even has his own model of Hohner Harmonicas. I have never heard of Chris Jones. I am impressed with ability to incorporate many modern acoustic techniques into the blues setting. I think that many blues players are stuck in the past and are to afraid to push the genre forwards. Chris Jones seems to be one person who was able to respect the past and add something new. Unfortunately, shortly after first seeing him on YouTube, I found out he has already left us. Here is a link to his tribute site. http://www.masterpicker-chrisjones.com/
