HuBeRT SuMLiN – Hommage
(16 Novembre 1931 – 4 décembre 2011)
“Warm, humourous and always encouraging, he was a gentleman of the first order. Miss him, yes, but we have his records. All my condolences to his family. One love, Hubert.” (Keith Richards*)
“Hubert was an incisive yet delicate blues player. He had a really distinctive and original tone and was a wonderful foil for Howlin’ Wolf’s growling vocal style … He was an inspiration to us all.” (Mick Jagger)
“He always played the right thing at the right time.” (Jimmy Page)
*Keith Richards s’est fait un point d’honneur à payer les factures hospitalières de Sumlin lequel, atteint d’un cancer des poumons en 2004, avait subi une pneumectomie. Raisons pour lesquelles on a souvent vu Sumlin avec un portable d’oxygène durant ses concerts de fin de vie.
