I figured since the MD forum is for electronic music I'd start this topic here. What's your favorite Blues song?

Lost Souls

"spoonful" by howlin wolf... remake by cream is just as good

Van Morrison - Hymns to the silence double cd.

Songs like
I'm Not Feeling It Anymore



man I used to love Van Morrison when I was a kid! Other kids thought I was weird for listening to that at school.


I need to pull out the old cds


Otherwise I am not that huge of a fan of blues it kind of bores me.
It's all about the jazz!

Pat Metheny
Herbie Hancock
Dexter Gordon
Erik Truffaz
Patricia Barber
etc etc

also, of course, "crossroads" by robert johnson
and the remake by cream is also just as good

Alvin Lee - Bluest Blues

Guy Davis-Give In Kind (great album and song)

Still pissed my party info was deleted, so here is the newest version: Ferry @ Best Buy, GO @ WH (un-fucking-real), Gareth @ Pacha, Armin @ Roseland, Greg Downey @ Pacha!, Tytanium Sessions 100 @ WH

Johnny Lang - Lie To Me

anything and everything by the one and only Nina Simone, especially her cover "I Put a Spell on You." After hearing it, I can't even remember who did the original. She made it hers regardless. Ditto to "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" and anything other cover that she made sound how it was meant to be.

Other faves:

Tom Waits - Tango til' Sore
Leonard Cohen - Dance me to the end of love
Holly Golightly - Your love is mine

We have a pretty neat jazz & blues district where I live... little dumpy dives where everyone dresses with white cuffs, hats and heels on weekends and watches the open stage. I wish it was more torch-like but theres nothing better than sipping a cold, powerful drink in that atmosphere imo. Could you imagine being in the little St.Joe shack in flames that first housed Joplin's Maple Leaf?!?

I Pm'd you Estella
