I've been listening to Sirius Blues the last week or so. Some good, good stuff. I'm really glad the Jaycees decided to move the time of the Christmas parade up this year. Roots Reunion starts at 6:00, and I'd hate to have missed any of it.

[RGDoherty]

How about a little Jimi to make it interesting........

Keb Mo with Robert Cray, doing "Standing at the Station". I wanted to take my MS dad to see this show this summer, but by the time we got ourselves together, we couldn't get tickets. :(

I can't believe you put up clarence gatemouth brown. Shook the mans hand in 97. He died a few days after Katrina. Nothing like telling someone how much pleasure their music has brought you. Had the chance. What else can you tell someone? I am so glad i got the chance. He knows now. Signed my poster with my name. I have it. He could not read or write. well known fact. i don't know why he tried, but God bless him. no one like him. Rest in peace, Clarence Gatemouth Brown. Gate's express played the Shed in Ocean Springs not long after and I have the music. Has to be the first or close since his death. God rest his soul. Magic in those fingers and I touched them.

[TheCapitalist]

How about some RL? His grandson Cedric is a hellova drummer and singer and carrying on the tradition. Kenny brown is the backup guitarist for years and a great musician in his own right. That is kENNY playing.

Cedric Burnside will be live in person playing RL's stuff at the HIppo later this month. I absolutely love to hear him play. ALSO- there are a few good blues bands that play around the burg pretty regular... the Deltamatics and Davis Coen. Davis Coen played in town last weekend so it may be a few weekends before he is back, he is good and the Deltamatics are fantastic.

Robert Johnson should be in this list somewhere- I don't have the skills needed to search you tube and post any video there may be. I doubt there is any available. If it were not for Robert Johnson we would not have the music we have today.

[RGDoherty]

Robert Johnson ain't got no videos.....but maybe I can find some of his tracks with photos or sumpin.

[RGDoherty]

As requested! The King of the Delta Blues.....Mr. Johnson.

[TheCapitalist]

How about some Robert Cray? Wife bought tickets for my birthday around '92 at Five Points music hall in B'ham. Small crowd. Stood right in front. Saw him again city stages '04. His live stuff far exceeds the studio work. Really stretches it out.YouTube - Robert Cray performing "My Last Regret"

Ok. Done for tonight. Damn right i got the blues!

[RGDoherty]

I keep going back to the roots of blues......Mississippi John Hurt was an artist that will be missed by many.....

YouTube - Mississippi John Hurt - You got to walk that lonesome valley

[TheCapitalist]

Yep. that country blues is in a class by itself.

[dollfus46]

Post em here folks.......Here's some James "Blood" Ulmer....

Great thread, RG. I'm just now getting into blues and this will give me some good stuff to start my blues liberry. heh heh heh. I've got a smattering of different genre but 90% is country. I've added some Zydeco, some Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., 50's rock and roll. I've got some Big Band from the 40's. But R/B I don't have. I feel like I've missed a lot. So I want to catch up. I have a friend who loves John Gatemouth Brown. Never heard him.

[RGDoherty]

Clarence Dollfus...............

Glad to help you on your journey...........

I like the old counry, big band and the Rat Pack that you've mentioned above......check out all of the artists posted above and the ones to follow.........We'll take you from the Mississippi Delta to the Chicago Burbs from post to post.

[TheCapitalist]

It ain't always about the guitar. How about Charles Brown on the piano?...

YouTube - Black Night -- Charles Brown blues



Man, that gives me the chills!

[TheCapitalist]

Mississippi's own Kenny Brown. Plays One more blues bar occasionally and last seen by me at The Bottling Co. solo. The also sponsor the North MS Hill Country Picnic, headed into its third year. He played in the movie, "Black Snake Moan".

[pooker]

Would Ray Charles be considered blues, because if so, I do have a liking to his "Hit the road jack" song.

[TheCapitalist]

Yea, that's a good one. Thanks a lot. now i will be hearing it in my head all day!!

Firing this one back up ....... Here's some Doyle Bramhall.....He played with SRV and has that Texas Electric Bluesy Rock thing down. Live performance from the U.K.

YouTube - Doyle Bramhall ll - Helpless Man

[TheCapitalist]

Here is a two-fer for you. Harp blues not covered yet! I like the way Jr Wells sings, too. He's the man!

YouTube - Junior Wells - Help Me (Live 1978)

And since he references Sonny Boy in the video:

YouTube - Sonny Boy Williamson:Your Funeral and my trial

"Your funeral, my trial"! SWEET!!!!!!!!!

[RGDoherty]

O.K. this next clip is the first time that "The Blues Brothers Band" performed. They did this as a joke clip but liked the sound then came the Blues Brothers. The performers are all members of the band, just in Bee Suits. I think that Belushi and Ackroyd did a lot to revitalize the blues. Ackroyd also plays a mean harp!

YouTube - John Belushi "I'm A King Bee"
