silentgods Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 anybody else into the blues as a genre? i've gotten into recently because my dad is retired and keeps sending me youtube videos to check out. i've been getting into Dax Riggs and some Bryan Lee, anybody else into it? i'd like to check out all the old guys like Muddy Waters and Robert Johnson. but was looking for a point in the right direction.

counterfiction Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 definitely check out Robert Johnson. If you can track down his complete works on LP it's worth the chunk of cash it will cost you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim McCall Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I picked up a copy of Elmore James The Blues In My Heart, The Rhythm In My Soul the other day. Anyone else know why this album was released with three different names? The original name is Blues After Hours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
