HogNose Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Born Under A Bad Sign - Albert King I love this album. Albert King was one of the best. Jimi Hendrix said King was the one guy he was afraid to share the stage with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbo Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I love the old school, and all blues, but I'd say start with anything by Robert Johnson, Albert King ( like "Born Under A Bad Sign" or "Best of: Stormy Monday Blues, Chicago 1978"), Howlin Wolf ("Rockin Chair Album" and "Moanin in the Moonlight") and Buddy Guy (try "A Man and His Blues" or "Live at the Checkboard Lounge") . When I was 16 a very very special 19 year old hippie girl turned me on to Paul Butterfiled Blues Band (among other things). That was a gooooood time. So they're an old fave from the 60's/70's I could go on and on :cool2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HogNose Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I'll add a few more....( I know the title says "best ever" but I figured I'd list some of my favorites.Hard to pick just one. ) It Serves You Right To Suffer - John Lee Hooker Fathers And Sons - Muddy Waters ( Highly recommended ) The Original Fleetwood Mac -Fleetwood Mac ( This isn't the Stevie Nicks/Christie McVie era Fleetwood Mac, this is the original Blues/Rock band Fleetwood Mac ) This is a great one... Can I throw in Van Morrison's Moondance album? Great album, but that falls under blue-eyed soul / folk rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 John Lee Hooker "It Serves You Right To Suffer". John Lee Hooker is the most prolific bluesman of all. Very under-appreciated. If you can't feel this record, give it up. The Blues ain't for you. Muddy Waters- "Folk Singer".. about as true a blues album as you'll ever find. The essence of blues. In the early 60s when the folk movement began, Chess records tried to cash in on it by having Muddy make a folk record. So Muddy, Buddy Guy and Willie Dixon sat down in a studio and recorded this unplugged delta blues album. It's beautiful. Jimmy Rogers All Stars- "Blues Blues Blues".. Jimmy Rogers was Muddy Waters' guitar player starting in the late 40s on up through the 60s. He invented so many rock and roll riffs it's not even funny. This album was produced before he died and features a bunch of modern artists playing with him... the tunes with Mick Jagger are stunning. Some folks don't like the Stones, but Mick is a world class blues harp player, and he shows it off BIG time on this disc. Howlin Wolf- The London Howlin' Wolf Sessions A few years before he died, Howlin' Wolf went to London and recorded this album with some of the more popular british blues artists of the day... the band on this record is Howlin Wolf, Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman. Awesome doesn't even start to describe it. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
