Ledbelly Little Walter Big Bill Broonzy Mississippi Fred McDowell Bumble Bee Slim and of course Robert Johnson what about you ? EDIT : oops , I almost left out Buddy Guy Title: Re: Blues Post by: Bill 213 on June 11, 2007, 08:16:12 PM Get some Robert Nighthawk and Sam Myers....really great stuff.
Title: Re: Blues Post by: hogg2500x on June 11, 2007, 11:07:46 PM How could you guys forget B.B. King!
The Thrill Is Gone.... Title: Re: Blues Post by: gilld1 on June 12, 2007, 08:38:29 AM Son House andf Leadbelly are also great. Muddy Waters' Folk Singer is my personal fave album. It's acoustic and you can hear him keeping time by tapping his foot. It is almost like he is sitting in your living room performing for you. Go check out Clarksdale, Miss. It's where alot of these guys were born and it's where the imfamous 61 and 49 crossroads are located. There is a Blues Museum anda great place to stay called the Shack Up Inn. They renovated old sharecropper shacks and people like the Allman Bros. have stayed there. Very cool little town.

Muddy Waters tunes) I hope to visit there . Somehow I left out Eric Clapton , Stevie Ray , and Robin Trower . Title: Re: Blues Post by: Ellroy on June 13, 2007, 10:23:37 PM Can't go wrong with the blues. Everyone mentioned so far is great, but I'll add Lightnin' Hopkins, Taj Mahal, and Blind Willie Johnson (for his rendition of Dark Was The Night, Cold Was The Ground, an incredibly haunting and beautiful song).
Title: Re: Blues Post by: vietnow138 on June 13, 2007, 11:38:52 PM Anyone like Johnny Winter? I love his stuff. Other artists who werent mentioned and need to be are Howlin Wolf, Albert King, Freddie King, Charley Patton, and John Mayall.

Other artists who werent mentioned and need to be are Howlin Wolf, Albert King, Freddie King, Charley Patton, and John Mayall. All good stuff . I especially like Johnny Winters cover of the Chuck Berry song 'Back in the USA' on Edgar Winter's White Trash -Road Work . Title: Re: Blues Post by: freedom78 on January 22, 2009, 04:38:46 PM Thought I'd give this one a bump, 'cause it ALL goes back to the blues.
Electric blues. There's something about a note being bent on electric guitar, as if the tempo of the song is just too fast and the blues can't quite catch up. SRV, of course (and the thing he did w/ Albert King especially) Jimi's Blues album is great Buddy Guy (duh) Joe Bonamassa (check out his cover of Zep's "Tea for One" on his album You & Me) ....many more, of course, that I'll have to think on. I'm still very much exploring the blues (electric and otherwise). Title: Re: Blues Post by: Padmasana on January 22, 2009, 09:24:40 PM Son House IS the blues. Once you've heard him, you know exactly where everyone else got their stuff from.
