A thread to post blues music. It can be acoustic, electric, Mississippi, Chicago, classic or modern, just so long as it's the blues.

Let me lead things off with some classic Jimmy Reed.

Oh lord, it's hard to be humble, when you're perfect in every way. I can't wait to look in the mirror, 'cause I get better looking each day. To know me is to love me, I must be a hell of a man. Oh lord, it's hard to be humble, but I'm doin' the best that I can.

Albert Collins
Cold, Cold Feeling

Greatest song ever written by the best blues guitarist who ever lived.

Also this is one of the most intense versions of Texas flood ever out there:


I'll post up some more Stevie in later posts.

Nice thread, etc!




I love this version. Buddy Guy's the man.

Thanks, Sneaky! Here's a fantastic collaboration of Willie Dixon (base) and Sunnyland Slim (piano). It really swings...makes you want to get out of your chair and get the booty going. I love piano blues.

It's easy, dude.

1. copy and paste Utube link.
2. click "flash" tab
3. add the dimensions 425,344 after flash=
4. look for the letter v in the link and remove the symbol before and after, so it looks like this: /v/
5. Done.

EDIT: NICELY DONE!
