This is my absolute favourite sound right now. Real Estate and Alex Bleeker & The Freaks are tapping into my very marrow and unearthing guitar sounds that almost make me sound like a hippy. Check out this loose groove and allow the guitar-playing to unravel. These axes make me salivate! Oops... that was too far. P
I love the sound of Pops' guitar. When you take it out of the context of The Staple Singers band, it shines real bright. Added to that, an internal rhythm that he plays along to guarantees a unique performance. If you like this (and Talking Heads) check Pops out in David Byrne's movie True Stories - an odd slice of pop culture entertainment.
A quivering voice to match the guitar - "Did you hear what I said? Yeah."

Here's some footage of a confident young man in total control of his own ability. The guitar rolls and growls as his smooth voice teases out a sorrowful tale. I will never be able to play the guitar as well as he does, but that's okay because this good stuff already exists. I'll just sit back and look on with wonder.
