Ok ..at home hopefully this will work! A great pick Rirock.! I was thinking in terms of "post your pick"... just to many greats to pick one... and your's is certainly on of the best! This is one of my alltime favorites. Otis Spann was the keyboard player for Muddy Waters band before embarking on a solo career cut short by cancer. His album "Biggest Thing Since Collossus" is a stellar example of blues piano playing and his vocals just blow me away. I first heard him on the Fleetwood Mac in Chicago album where Peter Green and the boys showed the old master the respect he truly deserved.
OK..maybe not one of the old bluesmen but I couldn't resist...this is my man Peter Green founder of Fleedwood Mac and EC's replacement in the John Mayall band...sure glad Danny broke a string or we would never have had this one!! A superstar who couldn't cope with the fame. The Les Paul he's playing was given away to Gary Moore when PG had his breakdown and walked away from music....Moore sold it for $1 million ..the Holy Grail for Les Paul players
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
"This song and player has to rank right up there with the all time great blues tunes and players. Old enough?"
Prof- Never saw that before.....that sent shivers down my spine...no telling what I would do for Bloomfields LesPaul! Another genius who succumbed to his own personal blues. :-(
Two of John Lee's best albums were Hooker and Heat with Canned Heat as a back-up band and The Healer with Carlos Santana and Bonnie Raitt in the mix. I never knew "I'm In the Mood" was first released in 1951 That's hard to believe -
Here's Bonnie discussing - and performing with - John Lee.
Also an audio-only of probably my favorite John Lee tune with Canned Heat 'Whiskey and Wimmen' - particularly rousing if you're rats-ass raving drunk when you listen to it
Well, it always seemed to help many moons ago even though I rarely rave much anymore
Damn - can't find Whiskey and Wimmen - gonna hafta search a little more....
"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
I would rate John Hurt very highly on the acoustic side and for electric blues I do not think it gets better than Howlin Wolf. Apologies for the blank post. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device
One of the first electric guitar soloists playing with the Benny Goodmans small group. Most people think Robert Johnson and other were predeccesors to electric blues but blues had evolved into jazz before Johnson was even playing (check out Louis Armstrong playing the blues in the 20s). Charlie Christian changed guitar for ever making it an electric solo intrument.
Awesome
I 'll send a copy of it along with the other stuff when I get some time.
That's hard to believe -
