3 fine slices of blues music. Got my mojo workin’ – Muddy Waters, Frankie – Missisipi John Hurt, Crawling up a hill – John Mayall
I already know about the obvious ones (Muddy Waters, B.B. King, etc). Which bands/artists would you recommend that I might not know about?
I mean more like the eva cassidy type of blues rather than, say, muddy waters. Preferably with piano? a more modern take on blues.
My dad wants me to download some blues songs to put on his MP3 player and he doesn’t have any specifics to search for. Any ideas on some good old school blues like Bobby Blue Bland and Muddy Waters?
Thanks.
I’m a 64 year old white guy who found the blues when country went Hollywood. It stirs the soul and I love it. Does anyone know the significance of the pre-Muddy Waters term: "dust my broom"? Thanks!
I love blues rock, but I really want to get into the original blues more. I’m talking people like Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy. Which artists should I look for, and any recommended and essential albums? Thanks in advanvce.
thank you all very much, some great names thrown about. ok i feel guilty picking a best answer so i’ll put it to the vote.
What demographic or group of people are most moved by classic 1950s era Chicago Blues, made famous by Chess records of Chicago, Illinois.
I’m talking about music from the likes of Muddy Waters, Little Walter, Elmore James, etc.
What kind of people dig this stuff the most?
