I was being a smartass. The Allman Brothers were most certainly not Country.
Southern Blues for sure, and they also rocked, but Rock and Roll is Rhythm and Blues at its soul, really.
SRV was in a category all his own. Thanks for reminding me to listen up to Texas Flood again. I let that one go for too long.
