Gravy from Alabama, these guys were together for a year and did one Album "From the Hip" it has excellent blues from Junkyard Man, High and Dry, Change, Gravy, Full Figured Friend etc.

Rob Thornworth was the lead vocals, he's gone on to do other blues, but nothing matches that sound Gravy put out...

The write up in the trades was:

Gravy - From The Hip*

"With Elements of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Lightnin' Hopkins, Johnny Winter and other blues masters, Gravy manages to incorporate history into a sound that doesn't sound old. Four stars." — Birmingham News

"If Buddy Guy teamed up with Pearl Jam, there might be a little Gravy oozing out of the speakers." — Bone, Nashville

The video for Junkyard Man is from 95, grainy, the sound not bad but I can assure you that the MP3 flat rocks...

You can download the album from Amazon for $1.59, it's the best $2 you'll spend LOL

Here's a few that come to mind: Room To Move good blues-harp by John Mayall. I'm Tired a classic by Savoy Brown. Then, a new one by Joe Bonamassa and Beth Hart - I'd Rather Go Blind.

This is one of my favorites. It's been done by many many performers. Hugh Laurie does it some justice here.

Little different tact. Here are two of my all-time favorite Blues songs. Each done by two different people.

Catfish Blues. Written by Robert Petway, but the tune evolved and the version most often carried forward is Muddy's



Others who have recorded (or at least performed) the song include B B King, Jack White, ZZ Top, & Jimi Hendrix. Here's Gary Clark Jr.



Another favorite is I Put a Spell On You. Ironically, the one version I do not like is from the song's writer, Screamin' Jay Hawkins. He plays it campy, and it's such a powerful song that I think it's wasted played that way.

Good versions by several men, especially Tab Benoit, but I think it's best when a woman sings it.

Nina


Samantha Fish. Terrific young singer and guitar player. She tours her ass off. Lots of opportunity to see her, and if you'll hurry just a little--still an opportunity to see her in a small venue.



I don't know if anybody actually listens to these posted songs, but it's fun to see what people like (and sometimes what people consider "Blues"). Thanks

BTW, I've bought quite a lot of Koko Taylor in the past few months. She sang with some greats too

Back in the olden days, when you heard a song you liked in a movie, you had to wait for the credits to roll. I first heard this in a movie called "Better Off Dead" with John Cusack, a classic teenage angst movie from the 80's.

The movie has the main character Lain working on a 1967 Camaro (my favorite muscle car). And when he's done, this is the song that plays along with it.

I had to look high and low for this album. It wasn't exactly the easiest to find Muddy Waters at Musicland or Sam Goodie in the burbs. Found it. Played it for all my friends riding in a black Fleetwood Brougham.

I didn't have any inkling of the history between Muddy Water's Blue Sky recordings or the role of Johnny Winter as producer for this Grammy winning album.

Muddy hadn't had a good studio album since the Chess records on the early 60's. Johnny figured out it was because Muddy was being stuck in a glass room, listening to the track and singing along whereas Muddy Waters Chess recordings were recorded as an ensemble

So, Johnny recruited some of the best at their craft. Pinetop Perkins on Piano, James Cotton on harp, Willie Big Eyes Smith on drums, Johnny Winter on guitar, James Margolin on rhythm guitar, Charles Calmese on bass.

So Johnny setup a mic in the middle of the room, mic'ed the individual instruments and recorded the sessions as an ensemble with the same crew. The results was Muddy's comeback album and won the Grammy for best blues.

Anyhoo

I was a fan of his, too. I saw him in concert once. The man played for 3 hours straight! His band took a break or two, but he kept going.

I was sad to learn he had passed away.
