Blues songs
Long drive today, and I hit the "blues" in the ol' iTunes genres for the first time in a while. Dam I forgot how amazing Stevie Ray Vaughn was. Live version of "Leave my little girl alone " had me choked up. My god he was good. RIP.
Anyone want to share a favorite blues artist or track ?

I saw him close out a show with this one. Turned into an awesome extended jam live.

be careful what you ask for, boy




Before Chess records, Willie Dixon was still damn good.

Before there was the Black Keys, there was Hound Dog Taylor. Check out Brewster Brewer Phillips guitar work on this Hound Dog Taylor track. Smoking

Serves me Right to Suffer
Tupelo
I'm in the Mood (with Bonnie Raitt!)

Lightnin' Hopkins

Buddy Guy

74 Years Young (Seriously, at 74 he absolutely shreds a solo)

Albert King
Born Under a Bad Sign

Lead Belly
Where Did You Sleep Last Night

That should be enough to get someone started at least.

Buddy Guy and Junior Wells have belted out some excellent Blues in their careers.

I bought this CD almost 30 years ago and still is one of my favorites.
