Blues Music

[OldSchool]

I like Blues Rock, but the Blues comes in many different forms, from rock to jazz, love songs or not..... Post 'em up.

T Bone Walker​

"Don't Throw Your Love On Me So Strong"​

 

[Bacpacker]

Love that song. It was fantastic live

 

[OldSchool]

This would fit in a "Gear Heads Music Thread" I started elsewhere at my first home... but fits here too:

 

[Bacpacker]

Perfect song for a road trip

 

[Patchouli]

Of interest, Mr. Gregg Allman wrote Dreams I'll Never See. Love that song.
Joe Cocker and Leon Russell came to mind when you said blues/rock.
But I like these guys y'all are posting better. (cough, cough). @Bacpacker you saw Molly Hatchet live? Sweet.

Perfect song for a road trip

.... Call Me The Breeze .... By Lynyrd Skynyrd .... but doesn't fit in this thread.

Okay.... may it does:

Heading to a blues night tonight! There's a charity CD being released that one of my sons worked on - thanks for sharing those folks

Anything by Stevie Ray Vaughn will fit here, but this one is my favorite. Maybe because it was written by Buddie Guy, another favorite.

 

[Morgan101]

Maybe I am from an earlier generation, but this is the ultimate road song.

 

[Bacpacker]

Of interest, Mr. Gregg Allman wrote Dreams I'll Never See. Love that song.

Saw them 3 times before Danny Joe Brown passed away. He actually had to quit the band a few years before that due to severe diabetes. If you watch videos of him performing he is always soaked in sweat.

Loving this thread BTW. Right up my alley. And yep Camper, anything by Skynard fits in here nicely. Ill try and post a couple more later. Gotta go do some stuff right now

 

[Morgan101]

Joe Cocker and Leon Russell came to mind when you said blues/rock.

I love them both. Can we go back to Mad Dogs and Englishman? Next to Delta Lady this would be my favorite Joe Cocker Kind of blues. I think Ray Charles did it originally.

@Morgan101 my LH and one of our sons saw Buddy Guy at Billy Bob’s a few years ago. We saw SRV in DC with Stephen Stills.
There’s a new young southern blues guy I came across yesterday, but I’ve got to run for now.

 

[Morgan101]

I saw Buddy Guy at the Voodoo Lounge a few years back, a local venue that is very intimate. Fantastic show. I was a little surprised at how well he could still sing. I thought his guitar playing would still be stellar, which it was, but he still sounded (voice wise) really good. Typical Buddy Guy concert he walked through the audience, so we were as close as I am to this computer. Quite a thrill.

I have also been blessed to have seen John Lee Hooker and B.B. King live. Both great shows. I'm not sure how many of the old blues musicians are still around.

Y'all aren't posting blues.
Steppenwolf and Skynyrd are not blues.
'The Blues' are songs that people in despair sing...

The closeup of his finger-work on the guitar neck shows his incredible skill that can never be duplicated.
