From the Cradle is one of those desert island albums for me.

Here's Someday After A While (You'll Be Sorry) from that CD.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Good selections so far Tim. I'll add some RL Burnside to the mix:

Goin' Down South http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDCcN9qqbUA

Shake em On Down http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFoPYr8XDrE

Yeah, I discovered RL Burnside a few years ago through Pandora (I guess?) and love him.

Ted Hawkins One of the prettiest blues voices.

Exhibit A: Bring it on Home cover

 

[trogg78]

OK, I have just about a 0 basis in blues knowledge, but seeing how into the Blues you guys are, I'd want to give it a shot (kind of always have, just don't know a lot off the top of my head). Listen to Spotify in the car into and way home from work, any good primer Blues playlists you guys would recommend in this list, or any that you might listen to or have created that you could share? TIA

[Judge Smails]

No other music is as visceral, as moving, as raw, as accessible yet somehow mysterious, as the blues. There is nothing better imo. Good thread.

Absolutely agree. Great description. Just love me some great blues.

Some late night BB King

"Hummingbird"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fERk1AVu2CM

LOVE this song. So smooth. Written by Leon Russell.

 

[timschochet]

Sue Foley- she's hot, got a great voice (though you won't hear it here) and a very good guitarist.

"The Snake"

 

[timschochet]

Arguably the greatest blues guitarist of all time, Johnny Winter

"Be Careful With A Fool"

I challenge anyone to come up with better guitar playing than this.

As good as a comeback as you could find. Did you know that Stevie and Johnny had the same bass player? I will take Johnny, but it's pretty damn close.

 

[Ketamine Dreams]

Otis Rush, Eric Clapton, and one of my all time favorites Luther Allison:

I saw Luther Allison in college right before his lung cancer diagnosis, man what a great show.

 

[dozer]

I just saw this at the Birchmere in D.C. last Thursday. It was really a great night.

Tab Benoit, Tommy Castro, and Samantha Fish.

Good times man...

Night Train

One "blues" group I have always like is Room Full of Blues. Lots of brass and rich sound. Go ahead and shoot me down...

If you like Roomful you should check out Duke Robillard. He's a fantastic blues/jazz guitarist who founded the band and since moved on to a solo career. Also, Ronnie Earl is a great blues guitarist who played with Roomful for a while. He too moved on to record many solo albums. Many of his songs are instrumentals, which I love. Both of these guys play shows all the time in the RI/MA area.

Some Freddie King for you this morning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSNjy9bvnKs

Some Freddie King for you this morning:

Freddie is my favorite of the three Kings.

 

[Mister CIA]

Diunna

With more Steady Rollin' Bob Margolin

One of my favorite songs of all time. Pretty sure this is the 18th time I've posted this link. Do You Want Me to Stay

ETA: This

Missed this

 

[Jefferson the Caregiver]

One of my favorites..

Howlin Wolf with Eric Clapton- Wang Dang Doodle

Melvin Taylor is inexplicably unheralded in the blues scene. For the life of me I don't know why. Great electric blues player with a great feel for groove, and a smooth, soulful voice. Here's a link to his full album, "Plays the Blues for You". It's one of my favorite blues albums. First song is a slower instrumental jam to get things warmed up. The groove picks up on track 2.

Great recommendation and newest addition to my Spotify artists! Been listening to a lot of Gary Clark, SRV and Joe B. lately.

Gary Clark Live has been in heavy rotation.

 

[ROCKET]

Nothing beats the Blues, great thread. Tim, got any contemporary artists you like? I hear a lot of really great artists on XM Bluesville and love some of the newer stuff from Gary Clark Jr., Popa Chubby, Tommy Castro, Eric Gales ,Joe Bonamassa etc..

I saw Living Colour with Vernon Reid a couple months ago in some little hole in the wall club which holds about 400 people, awesome.

Going back in Feb. to see him at the same club. Tab Benoit playing there too. There is still a lot of great blues based music being made.
