Mose Allison

He's not the most obvious candidate as a major influence on the likes of The Rolling Stones, The Yardbirds, Pete Townshend, Bonnie Raitt, Ray Davies, Tom Waits, Elvis Costello and J. J.

If you're looking for a big wrap, try Georgie Fame's assessment on the man as "more important than Bob Dylan."  Intriguing. File Under: Originals and originators
