Blues music..

[Mr. Bungle]

Anyone here like da blooz?? I'm listening to "Jimi Hendrix: Blues" right now, and there's just something about this style of music that speaks volumes to me. Some of my other favorites include Robert Johnson, Lightnin' Hopkins, Son House, Willie Dixon, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, The 3 Kings (B.B., Albert, and Freddie), T-Bone Walker, stuff like that Anyone else? :smile:

LED ZEPPLIN!

I believe Jeff Healey died today of the Jeff Healey Band. Battled cancer for 40+ years, it's what caused his blindness.

The Associated Press: Blind Guitarist Jeff Healey Dies at 41

Remember him most though in Road House w/ Patrick Swayze.

You both might like Fat Possum Records

Of their artists, you've probably heard R.L Burnside Fat Possum Records if you've ever watched the Sopranos, that is.

I actually got to see Stevie Ray Vaughn in concert in one of the last concerts he did before his death. I've also seen B.B. King twice. (I used to go to a lot of concerts...)

Besides the musicians already mentioned, I really like Taj Mahal and Guy Davis. Also a local musician who reminds me a lot of Stevie Ray Vaughn, Ruben V.

Had a few beers with Buddy Guy at his bar in Chicago a couple years ago. Very down to earth. He drinks Heineken in a glass with ice.

Have seen B.B. King and Buddy Guy in Chicago. Spent a lot of hours sitting and tossing back brews at the Kingston Mines and Checkerboard Club. Good times.
