Anyone hear like blues?

I done got wise, bitch.

Muddy at the Checkerboard Lounge on the south side in Chicago, 1981. The Rolling Stones are sitting appreciatively in the crowd. Muddy spots them, and graciously invites Jagger and Richards to come up on stage and join in.

Yeah, J.B, that's what I'm talkin about!

A slow bluesy cover by Homesick James of an old Tommy Johnson from the '20's. The video on this one includes a nice montage of various great bluesmen.

Strains of "All my Love in Vain;'

The great Elmore James pickin out an old Tampa Red tune:

Keith Richards's rendition of an ole Blind Reverend Gary Davis tune:

Robert Johnson's old running mate, Johnny Shines with the great Snooky Pryor doin an old blues tune from the 1920's, "Trouble in Mind." It's been covered by everybody and his brother, from Lightnin Hopkins and Sam Chatmon, to Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis, to Janis Joplin and the Grateful Dead, to Jack White and Bonnie Raitt.

Dave Van Ronk was extremely important in the NY trad jazz/folk/blues scene in the 50s Palled with Dylan, Joni Mitchell Gary Davis, John Hurt and introduced a whole lot of people to a whole lot of old, great music. And a great guitar picker as well. St.Louis Ticlewas originally a RAG, IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, ON IANO AS THEY WERE. hE WORKED OUT THE GUIUTAR TRANSCRIPTION FOR IT, VDERY RAGGY, LOTTA BLUES TOUCHES. This doesn't look like Van Ronk, but it's what I could find on youtube, always a favorite tune to me, and it's definitely van Ronk's version. Damn capslock key, too close to the a key on a sucky HP chiclet keyboard.

This thread came up in another one and I thought, "what the hell, why not add another tune?' It's been so damn long that I don't rightly recall if this tune has already been posted here or not. If it has, it bears repeating anyway.

Good ole Lazy Lester:

While I'm on Lester, I figure I might as well post this tune, too. It's a nice slow blues, performed live in his ole stompin grounds, Louisiana. It also kinda explains his nickname: They call me "Lazy." but Lawd knows I'm only tired.

Yep. Progressive and radical as hell everything you hate.

Brownie McGhee doin a tune originally by Big Maceo and Tampa Red. It's been covered by plenty of artists, including the Rolling Stones.

I'm not sure Dylan got the bird that whistles, bird that sings verse from robert j. that's a "zipper" verse that was fitted into a lot of blues songs, like in corinna, corinna, which I think I remember Dylan also did his own version of. Taj did a trad version of it too.

I think the slinky woman in red on the couch behind him sitting on the rj albumwas albert grossman's daughter, his manager.

Many have covered it. The Mississippi Sheiks wrote it, recorded, and did it best, eh? Big Joe Turner later had a big hit covering Corrina.

it's supposed to go back to well before music was recordable.
