Tommy Castro,Freddie King,Howlin Wolf,Albert Lee,Muddy Waters will all do in a pinch.

Black Keys- Chulahoma (Junior Kimbrough tribute)

Incredibly hypnotic.

^ Yeah, I don`t like too many notes when I`m feeling low. I prefer something slow and simple like Neil Young`s Out On The Weekend or Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere ; however bad I may feel, at least I know NY has felt worse, and the same goes for some songs by Leonard Cohen and Nick Drake.

I`d play more blues if I suffered with more of the classic blues problems :-
- baby messin` roun`with another man
- servin`time
- lines down in Texas
- bartender remiss in serving whiskey
- being on a southbound train
- staying in a cheap motel or
- shooting a man in Georgia

In fact, the only blues symptom I ever really suffer from is " Got up this mornin`".

Yay Neil. I think this song is the unofficial theme song for my current blues
