Favorite New Orleans Lead Guitar players

[Jordan]

They get less love, but I'd have to rank my top 10 as:

Jimmy Robinson (twangorama, woodenhead, mulebone)
Tommy Malone (subdudes, etc)
Sonny Landreth
Renard Poche (Dr. John, etc
Dave Easley
Alex McMurray (tin men, 007, royal fingerbowl)
John Mooney,
Eric Krasno (not really New Orleans, but see him at fest every year)
Kenny Neal
Phil DeGruy

I'm sure I'm forgetting a bunch, but that's the best I can do off the top of my head.

[Fred (Texas JF Fanatic)]

Here are a couple of more great ones from NO.
Deacon John
Bryan Lee
Camile Baudoin (Radiators)

[Fred (Texas JF Fanatic)]

How about:
Leo Nocentelli
Brian Stoltz

[Jordan]

I've never been a fan of Brian, Leo or even June Y -- for my taste, they play too many notes.

[NOLA]

Tab Benoit (is Houma close enough to New Orleans?)
Spencer Bohren
Little Freddie King
Lil' Buck Sinegal
Snooks Eaglin

[Fred (Texas JF Fanatic)]

West Bank Mike & the fisher project are quickly becoming one of New Orleans' hottest funky blues bands. Fronted by "West Bank" Mike Doussan (guitar,vocals), the fisher project (Scott Jackson, bass: Charles Brewer, drums) just took First place in the Sonny Boy Blues Society's Battle Of The Bands. This Achievement merits West Bank Mike & the fisher project a slot on the main stage of the Arkansas Blues & Heritage Festival(formally King Biscuit Blues Fest) in October 2006. The band will also represent the society at the 2007 IBC in Memphis.

Another great Bluesman out of New Orleans: Mike Doussan

Jordan, I was going to list June Y but can't spell his last name. Another great slinger out of New Orleans. Can anyone help us on the spelling. Now Sonny is out of Beaux Bridge but he is one of the ones on top of my list for favorite on planet earth.

If Snooks isn't in a class by himself,it sure doesn't take long to call the roll.
