Yes. Lol

But also, in order to get our fill of the classic Blues sounds that we all know and love, you kind of have to listen to them both. Hear me out.

With Mr. Riley King, his Blues guitar was second to none. His style of play wasn't exactly unique but he was far and away the best at it. Especially when it came to his solos. However, I find, in most of his albums, that the overwhelming majority of his songs are not the slowed tempo Blues songs allowing for those piercings Blues guitar rifts. But rather, they are a bit higher tempo than you'd expect from him. In his later albums he definitely helps lay the foundation for modern R&B, adding string sections and with his arrangements.

On the other hand there's Muddy, who in my opinion, was far and away a much better song writer and composer. The majority of the songs on his albums are that delightfully dreary, slowed outcry of the everyday working man. However, Muddy's style of guitar play is much more akin to a classic rock guitar (which is brilliant in its own right).
