very recommended list excepted for the white blues guitarists. Authentic blues music comes from the "spirit" and the "soul" of black music.

your right I just kinda like it when its mixed with a little
rock n roll or jazz pinnings!

and the white
musician mixed in a little mysticism, hammond and
things that I can relate to. The black musician spent
to much time talking about his woman and talking
about nothing.
Howlin Wolf is great but I prefer post 1965.

Picked out things the Allman Bros, Little Feat, the
Band, Savoy Brown, Ten Years After fans would
enjoy and got a little lost in the last decade. You
know you could spend alot of money looking for
these gems!

It's hard to call George blues. More like Blues Rock. His biggest contributions were covers. Check out the originals.

I dig Buddy Guy. A true innovator. Hendrix owed him heavily.

Same with John Lee. The man was baaaaad. Boogie Blues.

Lately, though, the only blues I really listen to is Tab Benoit from Lousianna. He mixes cajun music with Albert King styled Texas Blues. I really love watching him live. He puts everything into each performance. Magic.

CREAM doin' "Sitting on Top of The World" on their "Farewell concert at Alber Hall" movie from 1968. There's the greatest "staring at the emptiness" by Jack Bruce at the end of the song...

admitidly george did loads of covers, one of the reason the rock hall of fame won't let him in (maybe they have now, i dunno) But his originals are awsome. Bad to the Bone, you talk too much, gear jammer all very bluesy numbers. Also his extended version of one bourbon one scotch one beer is a masterpeice!

Roy Buchanan was an awesome, maniacal electric blues guitarist. When he was on, he was a freaking miracle to behold.

Yes, Albert King is a guitar god!
Thanks to quote "Blues from Laurel canyon", Bryan.
"Fly tommorow" is definitely a must have!

Without forgetting Hendrix, of course!
