Thread Name: Feelin The Blues
Subject: RE: Feelin The Blues
Brucie was the one who posted the link to the http://tweedsblues.net site, and also gave the link to a site that had some very interesting historical information about Blues..

I'm lovin all this information and feedback...

Bobert, okay.. to give you a flavor of the types of Blues music that I have and I like right now, here's four CDs and some songs from them, listed in order of the ones I like the best:

Howlin' Wolf {from The Best Of Howlin Wolf, The Millenium Collection}
Spoonful
The Red Rooster
I Ain't Supersitious
The Natchez Burnin
Built for Comfort

Keb'Mo' {from CD of that name}
Angelina
Am I Wrong
Come On In My Kitchen

Raw Blues
Bo Diddley: Say Boss Man

Blues Collection {disc 1 of 3 disc set}
John Lee Hooker: Boom Boom
Elmore James: Dust My Broom
Johnny Otis: Barrelhouse Blues

--
This exercise was good for me since it helped me be more aware of the kind of music I like now {I say now because my tastes will probably change, or at least expand with increased exposure to this music..}
I note that I only have one instrumental on this list {I suppose this Johnny Otis is the same as the R&B artist?}

Also, I also noted that I didn't select any female Blues singers. Actually the only female singer who was included on any of these CDs was Billie Holliday and [dare I say it?] I mean her no disrespect, but I personally am not into Billie Holliday's voice or music..maybe because it's slow....

Bobert, given this list, I'm interested in reading what other artists you think I might like...

Thanks all!
