Members littlemilo Posted January 20, 2010 Members Share Posted January 20, 2010 If you have particular live versions in mind, post em people.Nice little blues educational thread wouldn't hurt any of us. The whole "Road Tested" Bonnie Raitt CD is great, this song especially. [YOUTUBE]SXVoOgwiYc8[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members =JL= Posted January 20, 2010 Members Share Posted January 20, 2010 Feel like I'm fixin' to die by Bukka White, and throw in some Broonzy, Blind Lemon Jefferson and Mississippi John Hurt.You can make room by leaving out all the white rock star Spinal Tap versions.

Members csm Posted January 20, 2010 Members Share Posted January 20, 2010 Red House - Jimi Hendrix Definitely -- with the proviso that you use the 'British' version (from the original UK edition of Are You Experienced), rather than the 'American' version (which was, IIRC, issued on the US version of Smash Hits). The AYE take features funkier and more focussed playing, minus the irritating and superfluous delay effects which simply detract from the performance. I'd also nominate Buddy Guy's original 1950s version of First Time I Met The Blues, which is simply stunning, with a wracked, possessed vocal which easily matches the guitar for sheer intensity. EDIT: And, if we're going to include, earlier acoustic stylings alongside the electric blues stuff, you should have Son House's Death Letter. Incidentally, no blues guitar collection would be complete without T-Bone Walker's epochal and massively influential Stormy Monday -- T-Bone is where ALL electric blues lead guitar begins -- and we also need a shout-out for Lowell Fulson's fabulous early-50s Reconsider Baby.

Members evh1984 Posted January 20, 2010 Members Share Posted January 20, 2010 There's no way to cover them all on one cd. Everyone's taste is different. But I think if you burn this cd for your friend, you'll cover all the bases: 1. "Killing Floor" - Howlin' Wolf2. "Pride and Joy" - Stevie Ray Vaughan3. "Got My Mojo Workin'" - Muddy Waters4. "Crosscut Saw" - Albert King5. "Wang Dang Doodle" - Koko Taylor6. "Serves You Right to Suffer" - John Lee Hooker7. "Stormy Monday" - B.B. King8. "Traveling Riverside Blues" - Robert Johnson9. "Brick" - Albert Collins10. "First Time I Met the Blues" - Buddy Guy11. "Running On Faith" (Unplugged) - Eric Clapton12. "Dust My Broom" - Robert Johnson13. "Hard Time Killing Floor Blues" - Chris Thomas King14. "Smoking Gun" - Robery Cray15. "Sweet Home Chicago" - Magic Sam16. "Don't Throw Your Love On Me So Strong" - T-Bone Walker17. "Last Night" - Little Walter18. "Born Under a Bad Sign" - Albert King 19. "I'm A King Bee" - Slim Harpo20. "Where Did You Sleep Last Night?" - Huddie Ledbetter (Leadbelly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GCDEF Posted January 20, 2010 Members Share Posted January 20, 2010 A lot of the suggestions are good for a good blues foundation, but if you really want spectacular blues guitar, some of the modern players are better. Jeff Healey - As the years go passing byGary Moore - the Messiah Will come againAllman Brothers - Stormy MondayJohnny Winter - It's My Own FaultChris Cain - Weary Traveler If you're looking for a female, the best I know is Carolyn Wonderlandp3hE7FxG6H8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Jumping at Shadows and it's relatively obscure. I would add Killin' Floor by someone - probably Howling Wolf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 23miles Posted January 20, 2010 Members Share Posted January 20, 2010 I am thinking that you could do worse than add a Janis Joplin tune. I'd suggest "I Need a Man to Love" or "Ball and Chain." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
