Well most people have gone for early Blues (and quite rightly so) and I do have Robert Johnson, Lead Belly, Memphis Slim, Son House and Sonny Boy Williamson II in my collection but I really have to be in the moood to listen to them, so instead it's electric Blues I present here.


This is one of my favourite riffs ever and is just so buoyant and perfect for air guitar. Some purists dislike SRV but his heart was always in the right place.

B.B King (of course) and a version with Tracy Chapman on guest vocals that I really like.

Fleetwood Mac were quite the band once upon a time.

Taken from Born Under A Bad Sign album from '67. Essential Electric Blues album.

I have posted about this bad ass MF on here before and a shame he died relatively young. Burglar is such a skanking album.

I don't really like Waters Solo output and I like Clapton even less but the guitar work on this track is phenomenal (not strictly Blues-apologies).
