Links...

Dark was the Night by Blind Willie Johnson. Great song. Ry Cooder called it the greatest, or something like that. He used it as the basis for his Paris, Texas soundtrack. (Good movie, by the way, if you like gut-wrenching tearjerkers).

The Muddy Waters Chess Box set is the best compilation by a single artist I've ever heard. Great songs + Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, Little Walter and so on. Long Distance Call, Forty Days...

Taj Mahal's first album is incredibly dynamic. Gets my vote for the best single blues album I've ever heard.

The Brits gave the world the Blues Breakers album. Eric Clapton's amazing on that.

I'm partial to Texas blues musicians. Lightnin' Hopkins, Johnny Winter, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Willie Johnson, Stevie Ray Vaughan.
