Katie Waissel, or should that be Lola Fontaine

[oldjerry]

I tend to like albums rather than artists(when i first heard Blues from Laurel Canyon i was blown away,and 40 years later I still am.

Anyhow to all the above I'd add : Elmore James

Memphis Slim

Taj Mahal

Leslie West (Mississippi Queen best track ever)

[Green Aura]

Lots of the above plus David Johansen and the Harry Smiths.

[grahamhobbs]

Richierobins has named most of them but the ones I saw in the clubs in London in the sixties, that turned me on to the blues, were John Lee Hooker and Sony Boy Williamson.

[MKG]

Further to John Mayall and now Sonny Boy Williamson ...

I hear Sonny Boy blow
I hear Sonny Boy blow
I hear Sonny Boy blow - ow -ow
I hear Sonny Boy blow

Repetetive, maybe. You had to be there.

Mike

Oh - if you're wondering ...

He's a mean old man
And he can blow his horn

(12 bar blues - return to Go)

[mrsflibble]

another sea sick fan here.

[Minnesota]

I may get into a little trouble here, I realize my fav is NOT a blues style music,
But the lyrics (at least of 3 or 4 of their theme albums) is deeply sad and blue.
Pink Floyd.

[KathyLauren]

BB King.

And, if Minnesota can add Pink Floyd, then I have to add Jimi Hendrix. Man he sure could play the blues!

[Minnesota]

Oh Yes to Jimi !
