Some Blues Music

[Alcyallen]

This is a cover of a cover, Blind Boy Fuller and Sonny Terry first recorded this in the 30's a few years later Sonny and his new partner Brownie McGee did their version, this is their version...

Speaking of covers, this from a Lightnin' Hopkins classic, love that harmonica

Cover of a Muddy Waters classic

Feel free to post your blues, can never have enough blues.

Where did it all begin, well way before 1920, but this tune here gets credit as being the first blues on record. Obviously they were singing them blues all over the south long before 1920,, but when it came to blues on a record.......

Here's a rarity....

Etta James doing her version of Crawling King Snake

Tom Waits

Can't talk them blues and not mention the Mississippi Delta, here is the very first record from the Mississippi Delta, 1926 and Freddie Spruell.

That is Ishman Bracey another Delta legend

Frank Hutchison a West Virginia coal miner the first non Afro American to record them blues, this is a bonafide classic from 1926.

He recorded a year before Jimmie Rodgers and The Carter Family,

The great Sonny Boy Williamson on harmonica,

The one and only Howlin' Wolf

The pride of Houston Texas and my personal favorite the great Lightnin' Hopkns

Speaking of Texas bluesmen...

Staying in Texas, well actually he was born in Louisiana but grew up in Texas. But, was discovered in the Angola Prison back in Louisiana.

Don't get any bigger than Lead Belly

Actually sang his way out of prison, hard to believe but true,

Henry Thomas another Texan might be the oldest bluesman on record being born in the 1870's, story goes he was a wandering hobo, who played on street corners for his $$$$$$. That is how he got a chance to record.

You've all heard Led Zeppelin's When the Levee Breaks, well here is where they got it.....

Memphis Minnie considered to be the best female blues guitarist back in the day. Kansas Joe McCoy her husband on vocals.
