Still got the Blues...
Posted by: garyi on 21 July 2002
OK. many weeks ago I purchased from some poor schmuck on a booty the following: Black & White Blues - The Little Red Rooster
Now this cost me a whole 30p, which I thought was a bit steep, but there you go.
I havn't listenend to it untill today because when I first stuck it on it sounded awful, and I thought I had a dud. Anyhoo, today I cleaned it and it turns out it had a film of dust on it, almost like plaster dust or something, well now it sounds fantastic and I went through the whole thing.
As such I have quite a few blues people I need info on, (its a compilation album)
What I am looking for is each artists 'best' album. I could goto amazon I suppose, but what usually happens is I land up with a best of album, so here I am.
So here we go.
Otis Span The song: Pretty girls everywhere.
Elmore James the song: Dust my broom
Bo Diddley The song: Cops & robbers, (funny)
Williw MabonThe song: I don't know
Tommy Tucker The song: Hi-heel sneakers
Sonny Boy williamsonThe song Don't start me to talking
Alexis Korner's Blues Inc The song: hoochie Coochie Man (This group I am very interested in, yes I know the songs not theirs but great stuff)
Eric Burdon & The animals The song See see rider
Rod Stewert The song: Outskirts of town (well who would have thought Rod is/was good did he do blues to start? where should I look?)
Ten Years After The Song: Standing at the crossroads (WWWWooooWWowWWow, this is quite an amazing version of this tune, the guitarist is fantastic, please someone have info on this lot, please!)
Savoy Brown The song: Don't turn me from your door
Johnny winter The Song: Leaviin' Blues (someone else I have heard of but did not associate with blues, was I wrong?)
Them The song: Please don't go, (featuring Van the man, what did they do on their own, was it blues?)
I know its quite a lot to take in, but blues really seems to be my thing and this album has got me hankering for some blues products.
BTW anyone that dosn't own this album keep an eye out, the tunes are excellently recorded that name again Black & White Blues - The Little Red Roster
So bring it on, recommendations please.

And for a real obscure discovery of how they could still knock it out, even if they had to be officially uncredited for contractual reasons, track them down in session with the late (great?) Rainer Ptacek on the Texas Tapes...
