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. ------------- "The red polygon's only desire / is to get to the blue triangle." |

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!

Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac - check out the 3 CD set Live At Boston Tea Party, for a great mix of rocking blues and bluesing rock'n'roll. (The great individual guitarist Gary Lucas does a great cover of King's The Stumble as a tribute to Green on Operators Are Waiting). Foghat (at least from the evidence of their Greatest Hits album) sounded mediocre to me, much prefer Savoy Brown (all Chris Youlden's period) and Chicken Shack. How can we forget the late Mike Bloomfield - although until the Fillmore album and Live At The Old Waldorf, appeared no one album by Bloomfield was fully satisfactory (side one of Supersession with Al Kooper got close). Harvey Mandel, especially his album Shengrenade, (his use of legato predates Holdsworth's use). Like Omar (Dykes) and The Howlers for their mix of southern boogie and Howlin' Wolf (try Muddy Spring Road). Anybody come across Lester Butler (I think based in CA), did an album about 10 years ago called 13 - a record company sent me a promo with no other info.? And last not least the much neglected, late Duster Bennett (alas killed in a road accident in 1976) - good news Sony have just released Duster Bennett: The Complete Blues Horizon Sessions? However, Indigo Records have released several Bennett CDs of live, studio outtakes and home recordings - Jumpin' At Shadows is the one to find (which as I've mentioned before the former Krimson rhyhtm section play on some of the later recordings) |

| I love Brian Setzer, one of the most underrated guitarplayers! Stevie Ray Vaughan is great as Rory Gallagher (both acoustic as electric), Jimmy Page, John Fogerty (CCR), Dave Edmunds (his Sabre Dance version is excellent!), Ronnie Earl (Texan bluesrock) and Alvin Lee (Ten Years After), The Allman Brothers, to name a few ... very personal! |

Rory Gallagher was one of the true British greats- I've not heard an album of his I haven't liked yet... Robin Trower's band was arguably the 70s successor to the power trio rock of Hendrix and Cream- check out 'Bridge Of Sighs' for the evidence... Savoy Brown's 'Street Corner Talking' I like a lot, haven't heard much by these but that album is top notch. Chicken Shack's 'Accept' I heard a while back- great stuff; I prefered it to the earlier material of theirs. |
