I listen to a lot of American Blues Music and I have a few favourites. Since it has been awhile since we've had a blues thread, I thought I would share some of my choices and, hopefully, others will share and we will hear of some new things. One of my most most played is "My Name Is Mississippe Fred MacDowell And I Do No Play No Rock and Roll". It is fabulous, especially his version of Red Cross Store. Bukka White "High Fever Blues, Recordings 1930-1940. I love John Lee Hooker and could not restrict my self to one choice, a fairly modern one, "The Healer" secondly, Kabuki Wuki, I don't believe this is available on CD or even if the Album is still available. BB King, Love Me Tender, came out in the eighties..great album but no cd that I am aware of. Mississippi John Hurt, "Avalon Blues". 1928 Okeh recordings. One more.. Furry Lewis, "Shake Em On Down". Lots of others, of course. Too numerous to mention..oh how could I forget Ellen MacIllwaine.
