The Blues...
Is anyone else 'round here a fan of blues?
Any blues. Delta Blues, Chicago Blues, Blues-rock, Mississippi Hill-country, any blues you feel like. |
I love the blues. Robert Johnson is my hero, I actually got kind of into voodoo/folk magic when I was a kid thanks to Crossroad.
Have you seen Black Snake Moan? Samuel L Jackson is the best blues man ever. |
Haha yeah I have Black Snake Moan. I enjoyed it a lot, even though it got a hell of a slating from the critics.
Robert Johnson is great, I'm a big fan of R.L. Burnside and Son House too. And ONE bloody reply on the blues? And pages and pages on Lady Gaga.... |
I know right? We got an entire century old genre here and we can't compete with one new pop artist that will be forgotten in a few years.
I just don't understand people. |
Finally...... bluesy goodness....
RJ is a fucking legend. also a big fan of Lead Belly, Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters.... been looking for new music recs, so if anyone wants to youtube some good shit, I can promise to squeal like a pre-teen fangirl. |
Just bought my girlfriend a copy of the Lomax recordings from waaay beck when. I've not heard them either so will be interesting to hear the blues as it was originally played. :D
Apathy - this isn't strictly blues, but it's got a swampy feel and potential: http://www.youtube.com/user/Marshland#p/u/0/hwS8P5-QQXo Classic song from Burnside, done on acoustic here, so it sounds a lot more raw: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mk_XI...eature=related Skip James: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rv-_mzVBSF8 |
I love B.B. King. Saw him on his last tour.
Muddy Waters, he's the man. Lately I've been getting into Seasick Steve. I kinda like his stuff, even though it's not a patch on B.B or Muddy's work. |

I honestly play blues more than any other genre when I'm messing around at home. I have to, cmon, I've got this guitar http://ai.pricegrabber.com/pi/0/52/69/5269855_640.jpg It does blues so well. |

hehe, I have this one: http://www.hodsonguitars.co.uk/Semi_Acoustic.html but without the scratchplate and with open pickups. It's beautiful. |
That Burnside song is tight. I'll look out for Seasick Steve.
|
mostly love any blues, but I gotta admit I have a craziness for what I'd call "trash-blues" stuff, from Nick Cave to Gun Club thru Pussy Galore and even La Muerte...

I know a little bit of blues. Every morning you will catch me listening to john lee hooker when i can. Howling wolf is cool, There is this other guy i came across Long John Hunter he's really cool. Of course i got a few of my favorite songs Down home blues by sun house and sometimes you will catch me singing lead belly. I used to hit up some shows too mostly local artist's Abi G and big Daddys blues band, Lady Bianca, The croon dog's. This was back when i was in the states.
|
:D Hooker played the blues untill he died. :D
|
I never really appreciated the blues until I met my friend Rob who plays slide guitar so amazingly...it's probably one of my favorite genres
|
Ahh finally some loving for the Blues!
Robert Belfour - Black Mattie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkOduD-1liI |
That was delicious.
|
They get lumped into the southern rock genre a lot, but if you listen to the music, Gibbons is plainly a blues guitarist.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnMFOeEPUks Just the best. |

I love Tom Waits' bluesy shit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNqRqF1E0fc

My favorite BBQ joint in Chicago (Smoke Daddy's for anyone in the area) use to have local artists sing the blues during the weekday dinner time. I developed my love of the blues there and have managed to maintain it. Actually seeing the difference between the blues in Chi-town, and the blues guys down here in Georgia, has only deepened the feeling.
|
The Black Keys. I just started hearing about them from one of my sweethearts. Heavy blues influence. Only thing I can think this band could use is a sax player.
