Thanks for your help.........

But it's Nightfly......... 0

It's just a opinion about Stevie Ray that divides many Blues fans ....not a fact... But I am also talking from a technical place being a player and teacher, which doesn't come into place when you determine if he reaches you in the gut or not.


Scotso knows his blues ...just his mentioning of Magic Sam,
only a real blues fan would know him...since he didn't
record much.

Muddy Waters--Father of the electric blues as we know it.

Hard Again...done at 70 years old and this is his most kick ass
album with Johnny Winters(another great electric blues man)..
and James cotton on Harmonica...Rederic was right on with this one

Fathers and Sons...Great Band with Mike Bloomfield and Paul Butterfield

Muddy "Mississippi" Water Live(deluxe ed.) same band as Hard Again

B.B. King -- One of the great early Blues guitar players
of our time with a tremendous singing voice to match his guitar
expertise.

Live at The Regal...One of the greatest live blues records ever..1963

B.B. King Greatest Hits.. a nice inexpensive collection to explore

Buddy Guy One of the greatest electric blues guitar
players to influence modern players like Hendrix,Clapton,Stevie Ray Vaughn
and most blues players who ever picked up a electric guitar.

Slippin In--produced by Hendrix's original producer

Damn Right I Got The Blues...good basic blues album

Buddy's Baddest....A good collection

Howlin Wolf...One of my favorites...here's a link to an old thread to
The Wolf....hooooowwwl!
http://www.aom3.org/forum/blues-jazz/253-wolf.html

Albert King..Great steady inovator and major contributor to the genre.

Born Under A Bad Sign...classic song,classic album

Albert King Live...check out "I'll Play The Blues For You"

Albert King in Session with Stevie Ray Vaughn...it sounds like it would be a great album,
and it is that and more ..here these masters are exchanging riffs back and forth with fire
and ease.

Eric Clapton...One Of the Best British Bluesmen ever..Clapton did not always
make pure Blues albums even though thats whet he was known for..
the following are all Blues based albums

John Mayall and The Bluesbreakers featuring Eric Clapton--after hearing
the then 21 year old Clapton many UK youths wrote graffiti
"Clapton is God" hear why they would do such a blasphemous thing...lol..

From The Craddle......nothing but the Blues

Blues...a nice collection of all his blues related material in one place

Jimi Hendrix....Though known as one of the worlds greatest Rock guitarists he was influenced by and played a incredible Blues guitar

Blues..This collection will tell it all

Stevie Ray Vaughn...A Blues guitar legend who died young and was considered by many the best ever.

Greatist Hits...gives a hint of his genius
Pride and Joy Live 1984-1989....He was at his best Live ...hear why..

Chuck Berry--Yes he created rock and roll guitar, but he was
a blues musician backed by other blues musicians, who speeded up basic blues progressions and created the Chuck Berry sound what we now call
Rock and Roll...all hail Chuck.

Chuck Berry 28 Greatest Hits--It's all here.

The above is just very basic and I know I left off many names but
all you Blues fans out there ..put down what you consider a good intro
to the Blues..
I will also do a list of Acoustic blues or Delta blues in a few days
for the actual roots of blues music and more easy listening.

Great post Nightfly.

A couple of nights ago I watched an interview with Rod Stewart. He talked about his early music influences and recalled that radio Luxembourg was one of the only ways for young Brits to hear the black electric music coming out of the USA. He also referred to an album by Muddy Waters - 'Live at Newport' - that he, Ronny Wood and Mick Jagger used to share between them as having a major influence on all of them.
It made me wonder if these gents would have the same liberal and enlightened attitude to sharing music today as they did then
I couldn't find my vinyl copy but have DL'd it from MM and listening as I type.
Brilliant stuff

Ahhh, Radio Luxembourg

The station that started and helped me build my enormous knowledge about British and American chart music

December 30, 1992 was a sad day indeed

Since your post I have been listening to their online music stream - all classic rock with no commercials except a bit of self promotion. I wish I could stream this into my car radio.
Maybe one day

Solaris,

Today is the first day I got around to listening to this classic
station..It is fantastic..I've listened to it all day..
I would have loved to listen to this station in its day.
It sounds great!

But this is best classic rock station I've ever heard..great programming.
It has a fresh UK perspective that I don't get here..
And a nice little interface of whats playing.

Thanks for this grand recommend,
