The Blues
I'm starting to get into some Blues music and wondering if anyone has any suggestions for any songs?
For some reason Otis Redding's "I've got dreams" is #1 on my playlist right now. |
Some that you need to look at on Youtube:
Muddy Waters - http://youtu.be/liX7zPV095Q Howlin Wolf - http://youtu.be/A6KauaV1m_U Sonny Boy Williamson - http://youtu.be/FEXMVsziq2o Elmore James - http://youtu.be/orc50cWI6OU Jimi Hendrix - http://youtu.be/rUeECo0i17o Buddy Guy - http://youtu.be/N6O9DaIGy9M Going a bit newer - Stevie Ray Vaughn - http://youtu.be/tWLw7nozO_U Chris Duarte - http://youtu.be/QNS2dURnTSg Johnny Lang - http://youtu.be/3tigVYfHVmQ Kenny Wayne Shepherd - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNayy...812637C1920B66 And some movie blues lol The Blues Brothers - http://youtu.be/9hB3eCv_FOk Anyway hope this helps and gets you more interested in the blues. You will note some of the older songs creep into newer players. |
Thanks! My first listen was Sonny Boy Williamson and i'm digging it. I seem to like the older stuff.
|
Love the Muddy Waters song!

BB King, Bo Didley and John Lee Hooker are aslo worth checking out. You want to go real old school, Robert Johnson. |
Check out Son Seals.

Here are some lesser-known blues players that are still very, very good (and show a newer direction for the blues):
Derek Trucks/SusanTedeschi/Warren Haynes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2burpTQSDMA (Susan is a blues artist/guitar player in her own right, while Derek and Warren play guitar for the Allman Brothers and their own bands--Derek and Susan are married) Derek Trucks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GN5cvrDtv3M Carolyn Wonderland: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XT4Lr_oVGQY (I've seen her live in a SMALL club in Houston, and she's awesome!) Warren Haynes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=744WsO9iw5E (the dude can play anything he wants---really) Susan Tedeschi: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gCBHO9JvWE Though not often thought of as a blues band, that little band from Texas (ZZ Top) is STEEPED in the blues: Blue Jean Blues: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AupxHarqNk (slow burn at its best) Jesus Just Left Chicago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pN69GC2amTg |

Nazareth one of my favorite bands. They got plenty blues tunes. |
Check out Hamilton Loomis. He is a Bo Diddley deciple and a great guitarist
|
Led Zepplin had some good blues tunes. Texas Flood by Stevie Ray Vaughn pops into my mind as well.
