Nothin But The Blues Thread

[TuTuHimm]

I've decided to do a thread dedicated to the wonderful music genre that is the blues. Feel free to post videos or songs of some blues. It doesn't have to be traditional blues it can be blues in various forms. Can be old, new, a cool cover or whatever....

To start the thread here is The King: B.B. King with a performance so good that Ali himself gives him a standing ovation.



To start some discussion. Who do you think is the best young bluesman today?

I'm loving the legend that is Robert Johnson and Clapton's covers at the moment.

Haha im only mucking around i listen to just about everything, bar heavy metal, R'n'B (asides like Justin timberlake) and overly techno dancy stuff.

 

[Skelter]

Fair enough, I just took offence at the possibility of being seen as an old man emo at 20!

 

[Ivor Ballokov]

Albert King is fantastic, born under a bad sign is a regular in my cd player at the moment.
