the blues appreciation thread

i doubt this would get any hits in MD

so much more, but really, if you appreciate it, you know what it's about, pointless to post endless amounts of vids.

seeing b.b in february, cannot wait

Not really a fan of BB. There's just something about blues that doesn't sound right when it's too polished or played with too many instruments. It's something that sounds better with a minimalistic approach.

That being said, I really like muddy waters

or lightning hopkins
shotgun blues

Pretty awesome blues classic! Stevie Ray Vaughn - Texas Flood

Johnny Lang - Lie to Me

Local guy started playing guitar professionally at 16. Eventually ended up turning into Christian music, unfortunately.

B.B. was in town a few months ago and I'm still kicking myself for not going, the bastard's only got a few more years in him.

But yeah, the Texas Flood album almost single-handily pulled me away from EDM into the realm of classic rock/blues. Also, SRV is still the only decent rendition of Voodoo Chile(slight return) I've heard outside of Jimi himself:

The man has skills.

No synth; not music.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voodoo...(Slight_Return)

I see it's in fact a track catalogued as voodoo chile, but there is no song titled Voodoo Chile (Slight return)...that's just stupid!

But to be honest Stevie Ray Vaughn version is not better than Kenny Wayne Shepherd version.
