Subject: RE: Feelin The Blues
Oh geeze, being a blues player myself, is kinda tough, not knowing what you like to direct you...

I'm a hard Delta slde player myself so I like Son House and Fred McDowell the most.

But there are so mnay styles. The Chicago sound is a lot different with lots of horns and electric guitars. I ain't into much of them..

But then there the real down home Hill Country stomp blues that came outta Fred McDowell's playing round Como, Ms. that I really like. R,L. Burnside, R Modrel Ford, Richard Johnston and Danial "Rev. Slick" Balleger play it. Thens there the quieter Piedmont style with lots on intricate finger pickin like John Jackson did so well. Then there's road-house blues which is like real noisey and Texas blues (think Stevis Ray Vaughn here)...

Then there's the old,,old blues from the 20's which was played by botht black and white bands, though both could also play a variety of vaudeville stuff, show tunes and the like...

Tell ya what, Azziz, you tell me what you like off the compilation recordes an' maybe I can tell ya who I think you might like.

Also, as someone meantioned, stop over at tweedsblues.com (net?)
