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?

Plus lots more!  Tons of talent in this genre...

+1 Blues -- by Jimi Hendrix

Yes, I bought this album, somehow not seeing Jimi Hendrix's name on it. Holy cow. What a wonderful album... then I realized his roots. 

@mofimadness 

Etta James played guitar????

I saw Bonnie Raitt in the late seventies -- Sweet Forgiveness tour.  Arlington Theater in Santa Barbara-- beautiful venue. It was the last date on a cross-country tour and the band was, as the saying goes, "road hot".  And she was one red hot Blues mama struttin’ her stuff, that night. I’d seen her once before and she was good but not like that!  

 

@stuartk...sorry, I lumped Etta in there as a vocalist, but we were talking about guitar women and she did not play the guitar.

I've seen Bonnie numerous times and she does put on a great show!
