Your Favourite Blues Tracks!

[TheFunPolice]

I'm seriously in the mood for some blues, so, I thought I'd come here to ask you guys, since most of you have such brilliant taste in music! So it would be brilliant if you could link me some songs!Sad, happy, fast, slow, jazzy, rocky, anything! I don't mind!

Thanks everybody!

Ahh...The post-unpopular thread depression....Come on you, guys! I seriously need more music

I shall start!

Johnny Cash's "Hurt" was a bit on the sadder side, I think.


Basically, it's youtube= and everything after the "v" in the Youtube URL to post videos, with brackets before the Y and after the last letter of the URL you copied

You can not have a blues thread without Stevie Ray Vaughan. It's just madness.

 

[Daystar Clarion]

This is my favourite blues track.


May not be an obscure choice, but hell, it's still awesome.

You gotta have Cream's cover of the Howlin' Wolf song Spoonful. I mean it is mandatory....


And of course the Leadbelly cover of Leadhead's Black Betty that was then modified in the 70's by Ram Jam and then covered in 2004 by Spiderbait.... In other words this song has had a long history:

 

[wooty]

Without a doubt, one of the best

The blues song that is travelling the stars aboard both Voyager space probes...

Skip James tears his heart to pieces...

Lest I get too serious with my love of early 20th century Blues, let's just throw some Screaming Jay Hawkins in the mix...

 

[sextus the crazy]

Don't know if these count as blues, but I'd guess they do. they're awesome enough to warrant a spot here.

 

[Soviet Heavy]

Gotta love it.

Warren Haynes is the best slide player living today. And that is a fact. I've been lucky enough to see him with the Allman Brothers Band. Duane Allman and Warren Haynes were my primary influences when I was developing my style of play.

EDIT:

here's a video of Warren Haynes messing around. Excellent....

This is my favorite live performance of all time. The people sleeping in the audience drive me insane.

 

[MorganL4]

This is my favorite live performance of all time. The people sleeping in the audience drive me insane.

Well, his mojo just don't work on them.... But yeah, I agree, I would kill to have been able to see Muddy Waters live. I mean SERIOUSLY!!!! WHY? WHY did I have to be born in the 80's???

Some examples I adore:




Typical that this thread pops up right now, right when I'm having the blues myself. Some days eh?

 

[TheFunPolice]

Jesus.. Everything that's been posted is just fantastic, I seriously can't stop listening to any of it

I'd also like to add:



The guitar solo in this song is just insane, I've never heard anything like it, it just rips me apart

 

[Dansen]

I like this one a lot.

 

[Echopunk]

Kind of got onto a Danzig tangent there at the end, but yeah...
