Members imtheking Posted March 20, 2013 Members Share Posted March 20, 2013 I've been trying to expand my iPod drastically, so here's a list of artists I've been meaning to get into but just have no clue where to start withAlbert KingFreddie KingMiles DavisJohn Coltrane (I have Blue Train and Soultrain already)Big Bill BroonzyWoody GuthrieErrol GarnerPretty much I'm trying to really submerse myself into the blues. I already listen to the usual BB King, Buddy Guy, etc. but I know there's more to it than that. So yeah If you guys could help me out with albums and what not that would be greatly appreciated. Also different artist recommendations are also welcomed as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TomCTC Posted March 20, 2013 Members Share Posted March 20, 2013 1. Put the records on. 2. Have a listen. Hop on Wikipedia and look up the most revelled album or two from each and go from there. Extra points if vinyl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members f_p Posted March 20, 2013 Members Share Posted March 20, 2013 Miles - absolutely Kind of Blue, Sketches of Spain, In a Silent Way (my personal favourite) and if you like some psych funk A tribute to Jack Johnson, On The Corner and Big Fun (contains some amazing guitar work by John McLaughlin) Coltrane - I'd say everything, but the must have IMO are Giant Steps, My Favorite Things, Ol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely add Muddy Waters' "Folk Singer" to the list, and stepping back some the Robert Johnson box set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
