it was either:
Fathers and Sons - Muddy Waters Texas Flood - Stevie Ray Vauhgan or Riding With The King - B.B. King & Eric Clapton From the Cradle - Eric Clapton and Spotlight on Lucille - BB King = awesome albums as well as anything from John Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf, Memphis Slim and Tom Waits (if you consider tom waits blues) |

www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wow/Grape_Jam .....which is kind of a small album,not many songs but its excellent!! (I mostly have Blues Rock albums not Blues) EDIT: I made a mistake guys.... My first blues album was BB KING - LA midnight on cassette (I got that several months ago @ a record store) Last edited by Dude111; 01-02-2019 at 12:57 AM. |

![]() RB and Ten Years After were among my first blues albums, but I think this was my very first: not particularly cool to start with a Greatest Hits album, but that's how it was for me, as I transitioned from pop/rock to other genres:- ![]()

^ Yes, I think so, Dude111. First time I heard this track from his first, self-titled album, I though, "Wow! Buying this was a mistake!" but by the end of the track, I had become a huge and instant fan. Maybe it'll do the same for you:-
His "Second Album" is a showcase of no-nonsense, guitar-driven blues. There is the occasional weak track, but get a load of the two opening tracks below. For once, the word "blistering" is not an exaggeration:- "Blues" is the word for the whole genre. Sometimes people want to distinguish between early material, which was often one guy with an acoustic guitar and later stuff which highlights the elec guitar, plus band, so they call that "electric blues." Early acoustic stuff is also called Delta Blues because that's where it came from, while Elec Blues started a couple of decades later, in Detroit or Chicago I think. Of course many artists do a bit of both: perhaps your BBKing album was his first try-out with an elec guitar and that's the reason for the album title. Psy-Fi would know!

I had a Gary Moore album for a short moment many many years ago. Didn't get along with it. So my return to blues and the first blues album I really liked would have to be this:

This record said it was mixed in Stereo and Quad also.... How did they do that and not lose the sound quality? (Mix it 4 ways and have the record on a standard 1 or 2 channel system) Last edited by Dude111; 01-08-2019 at 04:36 AM. |

^ This song was pretty good, with some nice piano trills and surpisingly mean guitar. Surprising because Joanne Shaw Taylor is clearly not an old black guy, which makes me wonder again about the question put by the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, "Can blue men sing the whites?" I hope for her own sake that Joanne Shaw Taylor realises that "The day I lost my Hallo Kitty pencil case" isn't gonna cut it as a blues song.
