Can you recomend some good accoustic blues songs? |
the older the better You definitely should buy The Complete Recordings of Robert Johnson. He is the ultimate country blues artist. Some other great, old, acoustic blues artists to check out are: anything by Robert Johnson, Blind Lemon Jefferson, or early Muddy Waters records Well not old..but Eric Claptons... John the Revelator In addition to the previous recommendations, try Skip James. His original recordings are incredible. For a specific song, you can't beat "Devil Got My Woman," though Eric Clapton preferred "I'm So Glad." walking blues is simple and really good. I can recommend some people: Get the Robert Johnson collection..can't go wrong. Buddy Guy and Junior Wells, Bonnie Raitt, Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Mississippi John Hurt, Lightning Hopkins, and of course Eric Clapton. Shuggie's Boogie by Shuggie Otis. It's on a greatcd entitled Shuggie Otis Plays the Blues Acoustic blues songs I recommend are: check your local public radio, some usually have a blues i dont know who redid it but a man down in new orleans did a cover of Crossroads by EC on acoustic sounded amazing. you could try before you acuse me. when a man loves a women ( stratoblasters version) any muddy waters, robert cray-eric johnson( if you got a good acoustic) my biggest thing isdont learn it note for note leave out some parts and improvise on it. youll get better, and it wont be just the same old song that everyone has heard. itll get their attention. In my opinion, the best acoustic blues, Piedmont Blues to be exact, can be heard on any of Cephas and Wiggins' CDs. John Cephas and Phil Wiggins are masters of the finger-picking guitar style and blues harp accompaniment. Look no further. Well, it's not old, but you should pick up Keb' Mo's first CD. Lots of great Acoustic stuff there. His followup CDs are all great too, but the one with the most acoustic stuff is the first one. Everyone has given you really good advice but they seem to have forgotten Bessie Smith and Big Mama Thorton. I didn't see this one in your other answers. It's not old music, but a familiar 'Oldies' artist. "Bronx in Blue" by Dion. Fantastic sound. the complete recordings of robert johnson "Life by the Drop" by Stevie Ray Vaughn Rude Mood by stevie ray vaughan, he plays a great acoustic version of it. Also, most Clapton unplugged. |
