Paul Question about Blues artists (24) RE: Question about Blues artists 24 Sep 98


Susan:

Almost everyone who ever played with Muddy is fabulous. Try Otis Spann, Pinetop Perkins, Little Walter Jacobs, "Steady-Rollin'" Bob Margolin, Jimmy Rogers, James Cotton, Big Walter Horton, Junior Wells. Also try Sonny Boy Williamson, and Howlin' Wolf.

Any Keb' Mo' I've heard has seemed a bit experimental to me, but I haven't heard a lot. But here are some good acoustic blues: John Hammond, Rory Block, Jackson Delta, Roy Rogers (but not THAT Roy Rogers). There are also a lot of good old bluesman from the early part of the century (Son House, Robert Johnson, Yank Rachell), but this stuff might be a little intense for a new blues fan. It's best to start in the '50's and '60's, then work your way back from there.
