Wow- good stuff. I still buy vinyl and have played a couple of gigs with some of my blues and blues-type rock and roll.
John Lee Hooker (RIP) is a favorite of mine. I bought a cut out of "On the Waterfront" in about '63 and was hooked (sort of a pun intended). I have double album with JLH and Canned Heat and a live cd of JLH, Canned heat and The Chambers Brothers.
I hit the vinyl collectors shows and have picked up Hound Dog Taylor, Sonny Terry and Brownie Magee and among others. I can usually find the old vinyls for under $5. One of the reason I haven't put a cd player in my car is because I can just record a tape.
I like the jump blues from the late '40's early '50s - I have a double album called "Jake's Dirty Blues" that out of issue. Jakes was a bar on First ave before it was yupped. The album is made up of tunes with like '60 Minute Man' or Big Joe Turner's with lyrics like "My baby is a jockey and she's teaching me how ride. Slip it into the middle and swing it from side to side"
and I don't think she had a horse.
One thing about the blues -everybody has had 'em or will have 'em.

So what if it's soul. Soul's just the blues with a little gospel thrown in, right?

Blind boys of Mississippi:

(sorry, didn't mean to get preachy)

I missed Etta when she was in Seattle last, some guy told me she still pulls it off at her age, even looked to have lost some weight, pretty incredible. Nina, Ray, etc. all great stuff, wished I could've seen any of them alive.
