+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.
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?

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! |
lhasaguy +1Can’t believe I left off Howlin Wolf! ..and my mother grew up in West Point, MS. Savoy Brown played some great modern blues also. Louisiana blues man Sonny Landreth is amazing; Clifton Chenier was a hub blues man as well as inventing Zydeco; Son Seals (Chicago). Big Joe Williams used to play my friend’s parties for a bottle of whiskey and smiles from their girlfriends. Jimmy Thacker (The Nighthawks), Tab Benoit, Jonny Lang, etc.
