I've been listening to a lot of blues lately.

That's a good one. Lightnin' Hopkins is great.

That's some excellent BB King and Bobby Bland performing right there.

Bobby Bland is one of my favs. Lightnin' Hopkins is good as well.

I also really enjoy the fine work of John Lee Hooker, Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters, and Howlin Wolf...and a number of others, of course.

Gotta love the blues, thanks for the links

My band, Mr. freeze, plays tons of blues, but we are not purists. We'll play the Allman Brothers, Cream, Hendrix & Hot Tuna versions.

Lightnin' Hopkins is incredible. A great story teller with his music.

Howlin' Wolf for pure emotion.

That's how I was introduced to the blues.

Went through a blues phase not too long ago.

Would listen to Mississippi John Hurt (a fav) and Leadbelly for hours.

I have been hitting up Funk/Soul, psych, and krautrock stuff lately myself.
