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?

Check Out BB's "Completely Well"... I believe it was the release that immediately preceded IMS. There's a fun, jammed out "You've Been Mean" in which the studio cats assert themselves more than usual. At the end BB says something like "What are y'all tryin' to do -- kill me?"
