Probably more at the fact by how he fused his inspiration of Blues with new ideas in feedback and effects. His eclectic genre was addressed from Hard Rock, Blues-Rock, Blues, Psychedelic Soul and Acid Rock; Sometimes all in one song played live, depending on the circumstance (at times out of tune).
In 1967, He even toured with The Monkeys. Opppps............ He didn't tour very long as the opening act..............
