More Blues

A little Sunday Morning Church music from the great Son House, he was an early influence on Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters.

"John The Revelator"

Lightnin' Hopkins influenced not only a great number of Blues players but also Folk and Rock acts. R.E.M. even has a song called "Lightnin' Hopkins".

"Goin' Down Slow"

Probably the most influential Blues artist was Robert Johnson. The intriguing story of a soul sold to the devil at the crossroad, a mysterious death, was he poisoned or stabbed was it by a jealous husband or a woman scorned by love? Bottom line is it's the music that matters.

"Last Fair Deal Gone Down"

I first saw a short clip of this Big Bill Broonzy son on a documentary on Eric Clapton, it had taken me quite a long time to find it on YouTube but hereis the full thing in all it's glory.

"When Did You Leave Heaven"

Time to plug in and turn it up a notch, Elmore James was the king of the electric slide guitar.

"Shake Your Money Maker"

The mighty powerful hands of Albert King could bend the strings like nobody's business.

"Blues Power"

A lot of folks have heard the Boz Scaggs version of "Loan Me A Dime" with the epic guitar solo from Duane Allman but not many have heard the original artist, Fenton Robinson sing the song.

"Somebody Loan Me A Dime"

The original Gangster of Love, Johnny 'Guitar' Watson.

"Gangster Of Love"
