sooooo..This is where my music came from.......

[eruptionista]

@thommytaranto Yes! What would life be without blues?

[monchstardeluxe]

A big thank you Mr Ragtime Dorian Henry for you magnificent piece of blues history and sharing with me and many others. A reason for making the internet so powerful by sharing true Blues knowledge. It's much appreciated and inspiring to my research.

[agentcamse]

I'm also looking for the lyrics. Does anyone know what he's singen?

[snabelhood]

Is there someone who can give me the lyrics for this number? I have been searching everywhere.

Anyone who says honkey's can't feel the blues are sadly mistaken; cause ole Son is touchin' this honkey's soul right now and always has. Feelin' every drop.

I want to get into the Blues of this pre-rock period. I know Leadbelly and now Son House. Any other people I should listen too!!!

[vazon69]

@mrfloosak Robert Johnson is another (obvious) one. Big Bill Broonzy, Lightnin' Hopkins, Willie Dixon all deserve checking out, as does Blind Lemon Jefferson. You might also like to check out Champion Jack Dupree, Skip James and Jelly Roll Morton. If you are able to put the rock n roll links to one side, Fats Domino was a great bluesman, as was (surprisingly) Louis Armstrong! That should be enough to start with! Good luck.

[BluesBurner]

@mrfloosak I also highly reccomend Blind Willie Johnson

@mrfloosak

There's some good Charley Patton like Spoonful blues(Cream covered it), Bowevil blus, shake it and break it, running wild, i shall not be overcome, and some others like oh death; it's a little hard listening and getting into the blues; you need patience to hear the songs out; but, given time, you can find some great ones like Blind Willie Mctell, Lonnie Johnson(Robert Johnson named himself after him), Bar-b-Que bob(you can never go wrong with him!), Leroy Carr,

[ImTrickz1]

@oker59 I think Cream was much more influenced by the Willie Dixon penned for Howlin' Wolf version of Spoonful, which is quite different then the Patton recording

Charley is easily my favourite bluesman of all.

@ImTrickz1

Yes. Charley Patton Boweval is considerably different from Bessie Smiths as well! Oh well. Don't know how or why artist see something in a song that isn't so great(Bessie Smith's Boweval) and do something with it. Led Zeppelin did a lot more with Memphis Minnie's "Why the Levee Breaks" than Minnie did. I didn't bother checking out Memphis Minnie because her Levee Breaks is kindof weak; recently, I've found lots of good stuff from her!

[oker59]

@mrfloosak

One should listen to the females as well. Bessie Smith is kind of an obvious one; Alberta Hunter actually wrote one of Bessie's biggest hits - downhearted blues. Alberta's a great story; check her out!

[jaysun34]

I declare that's too black bad.

[sayyes2bull]

that is shonuff downtown, sugar.

[eruptionista]

You got to meet Son House and play his guitar, 271913??!!! Can't top that. Old clip on telly here last night of him singing Death Letter - chills up & down

[eruptionista]

Hearing Son House was the beginning of my blues life

[2711913]

Got to meet him in Indiana in '67 and play his guitar. Thrill of a lifetime. Nice guy too

[thommytaranto]

@eruptionista Hearing Son House was beginning of my whole life

[Glaeken1961]

This is just beyond words, so beautiful.
