Thread Name: Songs With The Word 'Blues' in the Title
Subject: RE: Songs With The Word 'Blues' in the Title
GUEST,leeneia: Do you know the version of "Chicken Cordon Blues" by Howard Stith? It's great!

topical tom: There are thousands of songs with the word "blues" in the title. That's because artists singing the blues sometimes would like to give a hint to the people that this is a blues and not a polka, for example.

On the other hand, a nice question. Therefore, some other mentions:

Mr. Johnson's Blues - Lonnie Johnson
Falling Rain Blues - same
St. Louis Cyclone Blues - same
Live Saver Blues - same
Crowing Rooster Blues - same
Racketeer's Blues - same
East Coast Blues - Brownie McGhee and Sonny Terry
Traveler's Blues - Lightnin' Hopkins
Penitentiary Blues - same
Racetrap Blues - same
Jackstropper Blues - same
Unsuccessful Blues -same
Jailhouse Blues - same
But: Lightnin' Boogie! - same

Something from a lady with a Band:

Old Time Blues - Edith Wilson with Johnny Dunn's Original Jazz Hounds
Nervous Blues - same
I don't want nobody Blues - same
Wicked Blues - same
The West Texas Blues - same
Birmingham Blues - same
Lonesome Mama Blues - same
Evil Blues - same
Pensacola Blues - same
Dixie Blues - same

And so on. Would take the whole night to go on, haha...
