Blues...

[WNxScythe]

I saw a blues concert the other night and really liked it. Have no idea who it was but it was great. Plus I love Led Zeppelin which is kinda bluesy rock. Anyways the point is... can I have some good blues reccommendations, hopefully with focus on [electric] guitars.

Thanks.

cant stand the blues. good guitar players... blah blah blah, it makes me puke.

 

[BlackMetalTyrant]

Buddy Guy
BB King
Jimi Hendrix(could rip some blues)
Stevie Ray Vaughn
Cool John Ferguson(saw him live, really really fucking good. broke string in the middle of a song and finished the solo like nothing happened.)

 

[The Devil's Steed]

Johnny Winter. Some other good ones have already been covered....I'd also reccomend Freddie King and Muddy Waters, though.

Get "Tore Down House" and "Well To The Bone" by Scott Henderson.
Great CD's if you like SRV.

Eric Clapton - Unplugged is awesome. Im pretty sure its blues.

 

[forthedyingbeautiful]

John Lee Hooker
Paul Butterfield Blues band

 

[BlackMetalTyrant]

Eric Clapton - Unplugged is awesome. Im pretty sure its blues.

Not quite, some of it is blues based.

You want a blues album by Clapton get "From The Cradle"

 

[gatedropper]

You want a good blues CD, get Robert Johnson's 2 CD compiltion of his hits.
Another one is Skip James -I'm So Glad ....

 

[Donnie Darko]

Black Sabbath are very blues influenced, as are most classic rock bands

 

[MetalHeadMarc]

John Mayal and the bluesbreakers
Willie Dixon
Son House
Memphis Slim

don't think I've seen Albert King mentioned yet, nor Howling Wolf or T-Bone Walker

George Thoroughgood and the Destroyers like to cover lots of old blues tunes, especially John Lee Hooker. They're worth a listen.
