Also, maybe start near the beginning with some Robert Johnson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUyKnEiv70Y As for Clapton, he was at his pure blues best with John Mayall: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0tJhHlbxWo ...and another suggestion: ZZ Top. They're very much Texas Blues, and a precursor to SRV. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b76kjd5nvMg As far as SRV, there were a lotta people who copped his vibe, but none more so than Kenny Wayne Sheppard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMJiHcfWRW0 And for more contemporary blues, there's Joe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIs8DDrywvw That mother****er can play.

![]() ![]() Empty Bed Blues, Bessie Smith Have no idea where my copies ended up but I had it on vinyl and cassette. Never could find a cd version with that original re-release tracklist (it's essentially a compilation of singles). So I'm hunting down a new copy of the original vinyl/cassette releases. |

Big Joe Williams - Hand Me Down My Old Walking Stick
I found it in a cutout bin either when I was in high school or shortly thereafter. Most of it is just Williams and his acoustic guitar, playing some solid country blues. The liner note state that Williams was given a bottle of bourbon and some ginger ale and that he knocked out the album in a short amount of time. I'm surprised such an admission would be made. But Williams sounds in control throughout. And as a friend of mine said when I played the album for him: "I can see where The Rolling Stones got a lot of their licks." |
