My favorite blues track of all time is "Beale Street Ain't Beale Street No More" by the Preacher, the Reverend, Gatemouth Moore. No second thought.

It's the only blues song ever written that's all about the blues and at the same time ain't nuthin' about the blues 'cos it has no wimmen and drinking. It has the loss of a whole street... and that's more than wimmen an' boozin'.

Not only that, it's a masterpiece of blues vocals, and the repetitive but classic blues riff towards the latter half of the song make it an unique track that is a MUST for any blues fan.

Howlin' Wolf may be my favorite blues singer... B.B. King my favorite geetar player... J.L. Hooker the master of both vocals and fingering the six strings... but there ain't nuthin'... an' I tells you nuthin'... like the Reverend belting out some vocals 'bout a lost street!

Cheers! :bottle:

I'll be seeing Clapton tonight and I sure hope no "Your father's eyes" that's fer shure...

[MAX]

Unfortunately, I don't know much blues.

However and I do know that two of the most stellar people that I've ever come across are way into it. *cough* DG and Loons *cough*

That more than does it for me. I'm only a student though. I know that blues is the most comfortable and truly soulful for me to play on the guitar though.

I love all of the old tracks and wanna learn so much more.

DG got me into Etta James and that voice!!! WOW!!!

Anyhoo, I guess I have too many happy things within my life to really have the blues? However, that music 'tis the best of the best. It's the foundation for EVERYTHING we all stand for and our Toastmaster General.

Soooooo...

I guess I have the blues? Can you dig it?

They play some damn good blues from local favorites here on the AM stations in Montgomery. My favorite has to be "Strokin" by Clarence Carter.

[rustoffa]

Son House's "Death Letter."

He was a preacher, and got drunk ALOT. Perfect combination for the gritty delta variety. There's a video where Howlin' Wolf tells him to quit gettin' so messed up all the time.

This ain't it.

Wow, I've never heard Budgie's version...I bet they vetted it up real niiiice...yez yez yezz...

Johnny Cash's version of,"Another Man Done Gone," is stellar, superb, and luckier than Luciano.

I once read that Big Joe stole Baby Please Don't Go from Bessie Smith, The Empress Of The Blues.

Talk about a warhorse of a tune. Law'd have mercy!!

Yez Yeah!!

It grooves like a car chasin' a train on a dirtroad at midnite...
(Gotta look around for the Bessie Smith-version.)

Is the car chasin' it or tryin' to beat it 'cross de tracks?

My favourite version of Baby Please Don't Go might just be Memphis Slim and Willie Dixon's version. It's chooglin'.

Page and Plant cooked it up real nice, too.

I don't know if Bessie ever recorded it, I think Big Joe stole the idea of the tune when they were involved.

[Rebel]

John Lee Hooker - I'm Bad Like Jesse James

that song is scary as hell. Just bought "Live at the Au Go Go and Soledad Prison." It has an awesome version.

Who cares, the cops are involved too.

[blonddgirl777]

I don't really care for Blues... I usually need some cheering up but lately, I heard (for the first time), the Blues version of "American Woman" and I liked it!

Although, Dave would have sang it better...

[SparkieD]

This would have to be my fave blues tune:

[Alex Mogilny]

Forty-Four, Lightning Hopkins

[Gringo]

Johnny Winter- Still Alive And Well if i have to choose just one... but anything from him in the late 60's and early 70's are great!

[redfire]

I will always be partial to Night Life, but if I wanted to be alone and just listen to a song it would definitely be....

Stevie Ray Vaughan's rendition of Little Wing. Zakk Wylde said that song was proof that God exists.

[Big Fat Sammy]

jOHNNY gUITAR wATSON - 3 hOURS pAST mIDNIGHT!!!!

Boom Boom - john lee hooker
