If you'll pardon my French, who gives a flying fuck about who Rolling Stone thinks are the greatest guitarists? Prince absolutely killed here (& I don't mean to downplay Clapton on the original). Always wondered who the musical gurus were at Rolling Stone who thought they were even worthy to judge.

Indeed, Ollie. Music playing, a pint of Guinness in front of you, 2 fingers of Green Spot or Redbreast warming in a glass waiting to be sipped, leaving everything outside the pub & just diving into that warm, cozy world. Remember it like it was yesterday in Dingle, County Kerry (too many years ago).

Then you are a lucky lady, Ollie. I love early Isaak, but after some great tunes (Wicked Game, Baby Did a Bad Thing, Blue Spanish Sky, Funeral in the Rain), he went seriously Nashville‑‑& that was the end for me. It was probably a better fit for him, $-wise, but I never found much of interest later.
