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.

Jesus. He asks for Blues, he gets suggestions for, well, not gonna single anyone out, but some stuff that is NOT blues.

Try out, as someone mentioned, Otis Rush Mourning in the Morning, or So Many Roads (Live in Japan).

Look at Amazon for a copy of the out of print House of Blues release "King Dollar" by Paul Black and the Flip Kings-- outstanding in every way- great slide guitar and harmonica work, gritty vocals, and includes the classic "Dead Shrimp Blues" along with some originals by Paul Black;; "When I come home, she'll be waitin' on the back porch, with a rolling pin, or a pitch fork, fixin' for a fight. Pistol missin' from my dresser drawer, it's gonna be a crap shoot for sure-- (My Baby) "Makes her point the hard way". The disc is out of print, but you can find used ones for cheap if you keep your eyes open. I just got one for $5 to replace the old bootlegged copy a friend made me.

You might also find some solace in the soul-blues of the Mighty One, Mighty Sam McClain. Check out "A soul that's been abused" off of Keep on Movin' or 'Other side of the Tracks' and 'Hanging on the Cross' off of the later album Journey. Those last two are less love related, but if'n you be wantin' some blues, that be it. Look for JVC XRCD reissues of his stuff- even better than the Audioquest issues of the early albums.

I have a spare MSM CD because I bought the XRCD version of it. I don't recall which album. If you drop me a note with your address I'll mail it to you just because your woman done lef' you. Well, that and I'm tired of moving it and saying "I should do something with that"

Oh, there will be other women. Trust me on this. Be glad you didn't marry her, and beware of her if she returns.
