...Bonnie Raitt...

Not the Only One



...onc chance intervention...see what it can signify
the slightest misapprehension...Baby...
...and We'd have passed each other by
when I heard Your Sweet Voice callin'...
...saw Your Light come shinin' through
I couldn't stop my Heart from turning...
...churnin' out my Love for You...my Love to You

I have a bible in my home,
I have a bible in my home...
If I don't read it my soul be lost,
It's nobody fault but mine...

...Bonnie Raitt's tribute to Stevie Ray...

Pride and Joy



Love my Baby with my Heart and Soul...
...Love like Ours will never grow old

I think some may have misunderstood the whole Blues concept...Anyway heres another song for fellow Blues enthusiasts.

Bob says "Nobody can sing the blues like Blind
Willie McTell." I think he's right.

I had to learn 'Tough Lover' last year for an assessment, and I think it's probably my favorite blues song.

Though, then I heard it sung by Christina Agu-malaria on Burlesque!, and now I'm hearing all my students say "I want to learn Tough Lover by Christina Aguilera", to which I mash my head into my palm.

Though there are many different versions of this song that have been done. Have to say that Hendrix take is my fav.

Boozinbloozin,
This is my favorite version of Born Under a Bad Sign - Albert King & Stevie Ray Vaughn.

Albert and Srv..you can never go wrong there either. Id never seen that particular vid of them playing together. In every one though Srv is always holding back and never really cutting loose on the guitar. Just the type of guy he is... Nice find..have you heard this version of SRV's Dirty Pool? I ran across it today surfing his music. Its just him and his guitar..pretty nice

I can almost make a prediction that once I tell you, you'll end up buying the DVD, it's part of Albert King / Stevie Ray Vaughan: In Session
I haven't heard that song Dirty Pool, his vocal style seem a little different than when he plays electric blues.

Here it is

Albert's Shuffle -- Mike Bloomfield Super Sessions
Best Album, Mike Bloomfield and Al Kooper Live at the Waldorf

ooh...really love that :)

Yeah Neapolitan ive been listening to the SRV Al/K version a lot latley. I wish SRV had just an all acoustic album. Redoing all his trademark songs on acoustic

How about some class British Blues Rock? Black Sabbath fans should recognise this:

As for relatively modern Blues, I have always dug this:

Not bad enjoyed them both songs. Ive never really listened to a whole lot of Robert Cray..not that I dislike him just never gave it the chance.

This is the first version of his First Recordings. There are two versions, but this one is the most raw sounding :)

anything by leadbelly!

pretty much the textbook on my own blues playing

My choice may not be the purest blues, but according to this review (of the exquisite studio version) of Cypress Avenue, it`s still blues :

Necro'ed!

Since we're here...

Love that track. I even prefer it to the original.

My favorites that get played on a pretty regular basis:









Honestly though when it comes to classic blues, it's mainly Howlin Wolf for me.

Albert King.... I'll play the Blues for you

Susan Tedeschi.... Soul of a man

Taj Mahal.... Diving duck blues

Cee Cee James..... Walk on

Anything by Etta.

Fantastic thread. Really. So many good tunes posted. Howlin' Wolf will always be the Blues king in my book:

When I first 'discovered' the blues, around the time the movie Crossroads (w/Vai and Machio, or should we say Ry Cooder) came around to give you some perpective, this was the song that really pulled me in:



I've heard Freddy Kings version, but this one will always be the one that stuck with me.

The blues aint nuthin but a good man feelin bad.

Angel from Montgomery when performed by Tedeschi-Trucks band at Red Rocks!

That whole concert is great.

I really enjoyed Walter Trout’s “The Blue Came Callin” which was release in June this year. I am interested to know if there are going to be some music videos of the songs as well.

everything from Bessie Smith. She's overwhelming.
N.B. I'm talking bout the old, vocal blues. Nothing to do with stuff like electric guitarists or whatsoever. I love them too, but they don't essentially fall under the right definition of blues.

The song that got me into the blues? "Help me" by sonny boy Williamson would be at the top of that list..

One of my favourite songs and my favourite blues video. His eyes at the end... this look IS the blues.

Damn!

Can't answer the question. The genre is just too wide encompassing.

My favourites at the moment, in no particular order

Peter Green - In The Skies
The Nimmo Brothers - Flat Broke
Magic Sam - That's All I Know
Buddy Guy - Feels Like Rain
Albert Collins - Give Me My Blues
Aynsley Lister - Broke
John Lee Hooker - I'm In The Mood
R.L. Burnside - It's Bad You Know

BB king - Thrill is gone

Eric Clapton - Layla

Stevie ray vaughan - pride and joy

.. Even if i love all blues songs..

Jesus, Make My Dying Bed - Blind Willie Johnson
Nobody's Fault But Mine - Blind Willie Johnson
Liquour Store Blues - Sleepy John Estes
Me and My Guitar - Freddie King
The Sky Is Crying - Albert King
Hound Dog - Albert King
That's All Right - Lightnin' Slim

That's not to say I don't enjoy all the blues I've listened to, and I've got a lot more to sample.
