Can we get some Blues up in here?

shilala · 01-07-2011, 09:39 AM

I absolutely love me some blues. Most other things I like, music-wise, stem right out of the blues, or are by heavily influenced artists.
If the songs are about water, it's all that much better.

Here's one of my favorites, Johnny Hooker - Waterfront.
Whatta you got?

I'm on more of the Junior Kimbrough, R.L. Burnside side of the house, but I feel you.

Well done, brother.

Try the old one, Hugh. Mississippi John Hurt - Since I've Laid My Burden Down. It sounds a lot more like gospel/bluegrass, even though John Hurt is a bluesman.

Been listening to a lot of Slim Harpo lately. I love "I'm a King Bee".

Slim Harpo, "King Bee"

Someone told me he recorded this song in an old gas station gas tank that had been dug up. They set up the recording equipment at the back of the tank and he played toward the front. You can totally hear it in the song, especially when the harmonica comes in toward the end.

Son House, Skip James are two I highly recommend. I have a station set up on Pandora and big list of similar blues artists if you want more suggestions.

shilala · 01-07-2011, 10:17 AM

How bout Buddy Guy - Remembering Stevie?

Link up a couple good ones, will ya, Wayner?

The Poet · 01-07-2011, 10:25 AM

Hey, we could name 'em all day long: Sonny Boy Williamson, Little Walter, John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Sonny Terry & Brownie McGee, Taj Mahal, Charlie Musselwhite, Koko Taylor . . . and that's not even a good start.

But if you like your blues hot and electric, it's hard to beat that whitest of white men, Johnny Winter.

Interesting story about Son House, he hadn't played the guitar in probably 20+ years before he performed this song above.

Robert Pete Williams - You Used To Be A Sweet Cover Shaker But You Ain't No More (I can't find this song but it's a good one)

Furry Lewis - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYwY9crMx8w

Snooks Eaglin - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeEG3...E2460&index=35

What I find fascinating about most of the guys whom I linked, is their backstory's. Some of them went to jail regularlly. In the case of Skip James he never got his full pay for his songs. And the stories go on and on.
