My baby left me... left me sad and bluuuuueee....


Hey folks

So the woman packed up and left, decided to move out for a while, and despite her insistance it aint over, i know it is!!!!!

So i spent a good part of the weekend on the porch of my new house in this beautiful colorado weather drank ice cold beer and jammed out to BB King and Eric Claptons DVD-A "Riding With the King", some very good fitting songs from that album for the situation.

What are the best "My baby left me" Blues out there? Suddenly without having to support my girl anymore i found that my spending cash is not only increased but i can do whatever i want with it. So im looking to pick up some real good blues.

You and me both. "I FEEL you pain" (don't remember where that quote comes from but it cracks me up), and it seems from the responces everyone has at one time or another, and listened to the blues from someone who has from one time or another. And yet, while you are so not alone, you are alone.
My personal choices, van morrison, 'the healing game' and the happy/opposite follow up 'back on top'. Eric clapton's reptile has a lot of tunes that at a time did it for me. At another time, when delbert mcclinton sang, "I know it's over, but it ain't over yet" in 'blues as blues can get' from 'never been rocked enough'. Robert johnson is really big right now and I would caution you to STAY CLEAR of him because his lyrics could really f#!* you up and make things worse than they already are.
There is enough suggestions here that if you bought them all, you would run yourself broke again, and poetic in that there is so many to share in what we listen to from others and what they sing to us all. Somebody sings something that fits, but YOU have your own blues tune.
I am currently listening to music without words quite often, so I can just feel. I have recently discovered the classical on the radio. Feels real good.
I am on the other end, the one walking out the door, and perhaps can relate that it may not be over, maybe it is, but something is, somethings got to change. She is gone for now, maybe for good, but it is time for you to effect your change, because it is just you now. Time for your own tune, so I might also suggest perhaps moving your rig upstairs, buying new equipment, or whatever, implement the SAP. the "slappy approval facter".
Hope this helps.
