Thought we might start a new Blues Thread. Much of what we're posting doesn't really fall under Personalizing the Blues. As much as I like Tab Benoit, he'd be the first to agree he's no Muddy Waters.

Johnny Winter
Listening to JW today, and amazed by his guitar prowess (again). Check out this performance.
Johnny Winter takes a Dylan tune, turns it from a folk-singer/troubadour song into a blues guitar/ get up off yo ass/ stomp.

Mean Town Blues is my favorite Johnny Winter tune. I remember when my brother brought home the Johnny Winter And album and played that song for me. I was hooked on Johnny ever since.Originally posted by Catman View Post
Johnny's version of Highway 61 Revisted kicks butt. He doesn't look a day over 80 in this video, but he can still play."The journey is the reward" - Steve JobsComment

Blues Brothers aren't bad-can't say I listen to that anymore though...
I love it in the movie when on that song he's like "You, me; THEM *while motioning to the state troopers*..."A foolish man thinks he knows everything if placed in unexpected difficulty; but he knows not what to answer, if to the test he is put."

I put in here by accident; never started a thread before and made a beginner's mistake. I've asked an administrator about moving it.

I heard EC's new album was a joint effort with Sheryl Crow. I'm not too crazy about her, but I may just have to get it anyway!"The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made."
