Favourite Blues tracks?

axisus

I've always liked the blues, so always on the lookout for interesting stuff. I was wondering what you lot think are the best tracks out there?

Off the top of my head I'd go for

Gary Moore - Still got the blues

SRV - Couldn't stand the weather

Jeff Healey - See the light

Suggestions?

BenSirAmos

Keb Mo - Dangerous Mood

equalsql

B.B. King - Paying the cost to be the boss.


Robben Ford - Something for the pain.


Ry Cooder - Vigilante Man

Just on my phone and can't post a link but go find Shuggie"s Chittlin Blues on YouTube ( or elsewhere). Criminally overlooked guitarist.

Also Led Zep - Since I've Been Loving You, SRV - Pride and Joy..and a whole shedload of Gary Moore tracks.

Need Your Love So Bad by Fleetwood Mac also needs to be mentioned in any discussion of electric blues.

Albert King


RL Burnside
I've posted this before but it was in a different context that Blues fans might not have bothered with. It's also brilliant- Note the signature model PRS & Soldano.


RL's Guitar player from later years.


Better go & do some w*rk...

Man of the World - Fleetwood Mac.

It's so blues even the furniture shares a tear.

Dengue Woman Blues ticks every box for me, the start is truly fantastic and it sounds like the song could go on forever.



His little brother could play a bit too!!

"Sloe Gin" - Joe Bonamassa.

Lixarto

"Need Your Love So Bad" - Whitesnake.

There's so much good Blues out there, but I would classify the above as "hot blues", so in a similar vein when I was listening to the above I was also heavily into Robben Ford and Eric Johnson (maybe a little less bluesy is Eric but far from heavy shred).

Check out 

Rugged road (Robben Ford, STUNNING solo)

Desert Rose (Eric Johnson, vocals are a little painful but the guitar playing is rather good)

breakstuff

Red House. Jimi Hendrix.

Milk cow blues. Eddie Cochran.

Does Purple Rain by Prince count?
