What blues are you listening to today?


Blues is by far my favorite and most listened to genre. I don't know how many of us are in here, but I thought a continuing thread of this kind might be of interest. 

I'm listening to Buddy Guy's Sweet Tea. Buddy's covers of Junior Kimbrough,      T-Model Ford, CeDell Davis and the like are awesome. Jimbo Mathus sitting in on rhythm guitar doesn't hurt! 

So what blues are on your system today?

Thanks all for the suggestions - new playlists!!

@mofimadness thanks for that recommendation. Had not been on my radar.  Great stuff.

 

@unclewilbur , totally agree, but that’s especially when one needs the Blues.

 

thanks again to @superblueapm for starting this thread and the playlist.

I hardly put on Blues any more, although it used to figure prominently in my listening, but as it happens, I did pull out Indianola Mississippi Seeds night. I’ve always liked that album, despite the over-production. Bottom line: BB’s playing and vocals are great!  

@beernut 

What are some of your favorite Otis Rush recordings? 

@unclewilbur 

I think you're missing the point. Consider this quote from BB King: 

The Blues is a tonic for whatever ails you. I could play the Blues and not be blue anymore.
