Re: "Blues Names"

B.B King, and a local guy I know from around here. I'll find some of his recordings if I can. Guy's amazing.

Re: "Blues Names"

This 2 disk set should be the first study in any study of the blues:
   
The Complete Recordings by Johnson, Robert

RJ's music is the base from which all Blues that followed were born, and very possibly also where Rock N Roll originated. (Honorable mention to Lead Belly).

Re: "Blues Names"

The Founding Fathers-and evolutionary Children
Robert Johnson
Son House
Skip James
Blind Willie Johnson
Big Bill Broonzy
Howlin' Wolf
Muddy Waters
Willie Dixon
Tampa Red
John Lee Hooker
BB, Freddie, and Albert King

I thank, respect, and appreciate these men more or just as much as the creators of any musical genre. Simple in it's origanal inception but so much room for growth and individual signature.

Give everything but up.
