Who's got The Blues?

[Motorhead350]

I need to know who are good Blues artists. I don't know much except for Robert Johnson, Lefty Loose and a few on Chess Records.

Who's a good Blues artist? NO WHITE PEOPLE. First genration only please.

Thanks.

P.S. if you know good Doo Wop let me know. I need more Doo Wop vinyl.

Just read Koko Taylor passed. Remember?

Really? I saw her in concert a few years back and... well... she didn't look that great.

I believe it.

Maybe I should get my head out of the sand someday...

HA! :baaa:

If you like Blues, and you like BBKing, you might be amused that today I was given a Gibson Lucille guitar signed by BB King to be auctioned at my charity event this June 20th. We will start the bidding at $3,000 in our live auction and if it doesn't get the reserve we will put it on eBay. The proceeds go to benefit the fight against Multiple Sclerosis. www.msgolfclassic.com Call me at 661-295-7030 xt 734 if you are interested or want to help our cause.

This picture is not our guitar. I will take a picture of it and start a thread when I do.

[Mr. Man]

Joe Turner, Billie Holiday, Jonny Otis, Gatemouth Moore, Ray Charles, Ed,"Clean Head"Vinson, Kate Webster, zillions of others, try channel 74 on Sirius radio too.

Sonny Boy Williamson

Jeff Beck

[Breadfan]

Many good ones named.

Also try Detroit Jr, he passed away a few years ago, his song "Blues on the Internet" on his last album became a cult favorite and used to be played alot on XM. The whole album is good.

Hound Dog Taylor....

Hound Dog Taylor....

I love that guy. He's from Chicago!

[03calitejas]

being black or white has nothing to do with it...SRV was as blues as it gets +1...would also list Satchmo, Etta James, Magic Sam (Dude- he IS Sweet Home Chicago), Junior Wells

I guess he was known for his Rock more than anything, but most artists change over time as we all know.
