I like blues music. Up until now, I've been posting my favourites in the

and

New topic dedicated to the Blues.

Any chance this topic being made a sticky?

For blues numbers from year 0 up until now.

Here's a few of my choices to start off with...

Hoochie Coochie Man

  

Boom Boom

 

The Thrill is Gone

 

Riding With The King

 

Smokestack Lightning

 

Big Maceo

 

 

From The worlds greatest rock 'n' roll band.

 

And Another From the World's Greatest Rock 'N' Roll band

Blues?

Nice to see Sleepy La Beef get a nod. He used to come up to NYC and play 3 hour sets, telling jokes and stories, and doing stuff like a 20 minute Hank Williams medley that kept crashing into his Chuck Berry medley.

 

But as great as the blues are, I'd be good to not hear them much ever again -and that goes triple for played to death songs like Honkey Tonk Women.

 

It was of its time, that time is gone and we're now well into the Hotel California range of please make it stop.

 

As Hank W himself posed as a musical question: How can I miss you if you won't go away?

Thanks Mutt for starting a blues thread. Plenty of good blues around that came out after the 80's.

 

Snowy White. (played with Pink Floyd and Thin Lizzy)

 

 

Can't beat a live studio sound.

 

 

Roy Rogers. One of the best slide players around.

 

Best yet, so far, as of now....

 

a. Holiday and her Strange Grapefruit

 

 

b. And this....  We gotta go to church...!

 

 

 

 

 

Please note:  In this Cream recording from Albert Hall, I think I actually spied Epstein's GF in the audience.  I mean Ghislaine Maxwell, at the 2:03-minute mark.  What do you think?

 

I cannot say for sure.

 

But, you know, in days gone by, Ghislaine was everywhere...

And so, why not here, too?

 

 

Please check this out....

 

Is this really Maxwell at the Royal Albert Hall in 2005, listening to Cream?

At minute 2:03?

 

If so, then, for sure, she is now learning to sing the blues, baby, in NYC, better than she ever did.

 

Also, Maxwell looks just toooo bored for this great blues song.

 

Not sure if guys from the UK know how to sing the blues.

Mostly they just sing second-hand blues from real blues singers from the Southern States of the USA.

 

But, anyway...

 

 

 

 

 

 

CHOPPIN COTTON

Yes, Suh!

 

Just...Choppin Cotton, and singin the blues.

Sorry if you find this topic offensive,  but now that you've had your moan, maybe it would be better for your mental health if you just didn't bother visiting this topic in the future. After all, it's not compulsory reading. Have a nice day.
