what are some good real beginner blues songs?

Like to play? or to listen to?

Live At The Regal-B.B King
Best blues album dare i say?

i asked many a times but they refuse to give us a blues forum. which is one of the reasons i stopped hanging out here on a regular basis.

Personally I don't think blues would be a good forum here, there aren't enough blues people. This one thread is good enough.

Howlin' Wolfs [I]Howlin' Wolf/Moanin' in the Moonlight[/I] is one of my favourite albums.

On a side note, I just seen B.B King not too long ago in Vancouver. For a man of his age (80) he can really put on a [I]great[/I] show.

Anyone heard of Bob Log III? I've really been getting into him and some of the other Fat Possum guys here recently. For those of you who havent heard of him, he is a one man band. Plays slide guitar with hands, bass drum with right foot, cymbol and drum machine with left foot. He always wears this fighter helmet with a phone on the front, and he sings thru the phone. Cool ****. Delta blues for the 21st century.

I missed a show. He came to my town,but i forgot to get tickets. Well i live next to chicago so i asume that if he does not die in the next few years i would be able to see him.

On Howlin' Wolf,all i have is a best of but i really like it. What are some other albums i should pick up.

Also,what was the story of Robert Johnson? I know it involes the devil.

He apparently sold his soul to the devil in return for his Guitar and singing skills.

he speaks the truth.

Could anyone upload something by Albert King? I've never really delved into blues music beyond Robert Johnson and the other obvious players.

Bump.

I was wondering what happened to this thread. We should keep it alive. I've seen the movie in my avatar (Blues Brothers) 3 times in the last week. One of my favorite movies. It's got some cool blues, does anyone know if the Blues Brothers cds are any good?

And also, John Lee Hooker was cool in that movie, I should get some of his stuff.

I will keep this sucka alive.

Whoa, cool bumping :thumb:

John Lee Hooker is sweet, I'm going to look into some albums of his and then I'll upload some. The same goes for Albert King, although I have one of his already.

I saw John Lee Hooker Jr, and Tommy Castro last night. John Lee Hooker Jr has an huge ego :p

Was a good show, the guitarist is great for John Lee Hooker Jr. He is blues but he still plays pretty fast. :)

Albert King isn't related to BB King is he?

That would be cool if he was.

Nope, they just grew up together. BB called him his "half-brother"

Anyone dig the mississippi hill blues? I love that stuff. Very hypnotic, powerful. People like R.L. Burnside, Junior Kimbourgh, John Lee Hooker

Have you heard John Lee Hooker's song "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer."

It's cool, but I like the George Thorogood version better. :D

I reckon hendrix - red house is such an amazingly great song.

[QUOTE=Ned]Yeah, that's one King too many. I actually once saw Albert King, B. B. King, and Bobby Blue Bland at the same concert. Freddie didn't show.[/QUOTE]

I think Freddie King wrote 'hideaway' off the bluesbreakers album (mayall/clapton).

I prefer Delta blues.

Yea he did.

anyone listen to Otis Rush play Society Woman on the live in Europe CD. IMO the licks after the opening 2 chord progressions is some of the best i heard. powerful stuff. i tabbed it out by ear and it helped my playing immensly. I use it all the time in music stores when i checking outnew gear and people always compliment me.

now if i could ever find his tone id be set.

I'm a little bummed because I just found out Luther Allison has already died, and I won't be able to see him live :(

Is anybody else a fan of him?

Man, we really need a Blues forum here..

Other music??? Do people not realize the HUGE influence blues has had on guitar? What hurts the most is too see pop-punk and hardcore/emo forums and the complete lack of a blues forum..

Oh well..

Agreed, a blues forum would be great. Is there already a online petition I can sign? :thumb:

It's nothing to do with how influential the genre is.

ive been asking for a blues form for over a year but the mods dont care about it.
they tell me to post in here instead. keep pestering all the mods till we get what we want or until they ban us lol.
