Recommend me some Blues

Submitted by Michael on Sun, 10/14/2007 - 23:21.

I've been listening to a bit of John Lee Hooker lately as my music tastes have slowed down a little.

I know plenty of you guys are into blues and would probably be able to recommend me some lesser known artists to check out?

I suppose "Dog Died Duane" is a quintessential bluesplayer's firstname.

Just don't slip down the Gary Moore (More?) route.
He has, in a recent interview, totally denounced 'Rock' in favour of becoming a blues legend.
I suppose blues is flavour of the month..... again.

I quite enjoyed Gary Moore when I saw him earlier this year.

However, I enjoyed his support even more - a gay called Otis Taylor.

There's another one for you, Mike.

I don't see what his sexuality has to do with it. :lol:

Blimey! That was a typo.

I meant a GUY called Otis Taylor.

(Sorry about that Mr Taylor).

:lol: , who knows, if anything might get "famous player" posting in, that kind of unintended libel might :)

I may be wrong, but I think Muddy Waters was played a lot in the movie "Crossroads". Just and idea, but if you are a blues fan and haven't seen it, that is what I would suggest.

Wasn't Meg Mortimer in that ? or was it Daniel son??
