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?
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.
