Looking for Blues with High Fidelity


I recently listened to Eric Clapton’s “Me and Mr. Johnson” and really appreciated the guitar playing and the quality of the recording.  What are some of your favorite Blues recordings?

RL Burnside: Let My Baby Ride (for a break from the depression)

Blodwyn Pig: Dear Jill

Samantha Fish: Go To Hell

The Jayhawks: Blue (obvious....)

Blue Rodeo: Hasn't Hit Me Yet, What Is This Love (mind your subs....)

A Great Big World (w/C. Aguilera): Say Something

...and for an ending *G*...

Grant Hart: Nobody Rides For Free

Blues; contemporary and contemptuous....:)

 

 

tuberist,

You're a lucky man; that was an amazing band and a great performance.

Rory Gallagher - Blues Rock. An absolute legend. A lot of decent quality recordings, but regardless, he will git you rockin’ with blues rock. Some of his songs have an Irish flair. But then, Rory was an Irish lad.
