Best blues for when you're, well, feeling blue

^ Yeah, if you`re listening to that track, then you`ve got the blues, I`m afraid.
This is another blues song that sounds so bleak that I don`t like to play it very often, although, like On The Beach it has some exquisite guitar playing :-

I must admit Fleetwood Mac is a bit of a void in my collection. Not that familiar with their work besides what I might have come across on tv or radio.

Billie Holiday is a classic when you're feeling blue. But I'll definitely also recommend Howlin' Wolf, Blind Willie McTell, JB Lenoir, T-Bone Walker, and Muddy Waters.

If I'm in the mood for something more up to date, I'll often listen to Grayson Capps, Keb' Mo' and Seasick Steve. Really great music!

I saw a lot of Miles Davis and John Lee Hooker, so now I'm going to blow your minds... Miles Davis and John Lee Hooker on The Hot Spot (OST). It's an okay album but fun to hear these two together. Very Chill.

Also I like Nick Katzman's How to Play the Delta Blues. It's chill enough to be soothing when your blue, but picks up enough in the album to make you less sad.
