Anyone know some good Blues music?

[subin]

Hey I've recently really got into Blues music and have been listening to mostly just BB King. Does anyone have any suggestions for good blues music?

[spine shavings]

I don't know what exaclty would classify as blues.. but Ray Charles has some cool stuff... I think that would be along the lines of rock though...

[subin]

Yeah I've got some of Ray Charles stuff and thats not what I'm really looking for. I'm looking for stuff with a blues guitar being played.

Minie the moocher FTW.

You have to listen to Stevie Ray Vaughn. He is amazing.

[subin]

Yeah I got some of Stevie Ray's stuff too. It is fucking amazing though.

[lol] my brother has a minnie the moocher CD, its yellow and has a cat on it I think. Anyway, sorry bro.. can't help you out.. don't know much about blues, go to cdnow.com and look for the blues brothers soundtrack... then look at what songs they have on that.

Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eric Clapton, Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson, and Jimi Hendrix has a pretty awesome blues collection. I'm not sure if it's an album or not, but I downloaded a packaged called "Blues". It has really bluesy versions of his songs, and a few I've never heard before.

Led Zeppelin wrote some amazing blues. Robin Trower wrote music similar to Hendrix and he's awesome too. Don't forget BB King though if your just looking for blues guitar.

The Black Keys

It's kinda blues...

[Mount_Happy]

All you really need is Stevie Ray Vaughan...

but check out Buddy Guy too, hes awesome, oh and Eric Clapton has done some great blues in the past.

The Allman Brothers Band

If you're looking for straight blues, get some John Lee Hooker, Robert Johnson (RHCP covered him, he's very good), Hendrix, George Thorogood and Stevie Ray Vaughan. And of course, Clapton - Malted Milk is a lot of fun to play on guitar.

But if you're looking for more of a bluesy rock kind of thing, get Led Zeppelin, Cream, Allman Brothers Band, ZZ Top, Irish Coffee and Foghat

The Black Keys

It's kinda blues...
A damn good underated band.
But Bucketheads Pop Override

The only thing I have that's classified as blues in my Itunes is Jimi Hendrix: Electric Ladyland, but I haven't listened to it yet, so I don't know how good it is.

And if Clapton is considered blues, get some Clapton. Get it even if he isn't blues though.

To add to my last post...

Get Raw Blues Power. It's a blues/shred album featuring Paul Gilbert (guitar virtuoso, known for his work in Racer X) and his uncle, Jimi Kidd.

This is definitely not traditional blues if that's what you're after, but it is an energetic album of skilled bluesy guitar sex.

If you listen to one song, listen to the 12 Days of the Blues.

[ahaga]

Buddy Guy is pretty good

If you want a concert DVD get "Lightning in a Bottle" my blockbuster had it and it has some great blues

Check out an Eric Clapton album called "From The Cradle". It's full of great blues and amazing guitar playing.
I'm also a lover of Stevie Ray Vaughn. Anything he did is fuckin awesome.
