Great Blues to complement Eric Bibb?

Posted by: Foot tapper on 25 January 2009

I've enjoyed blues, especially guitar blues for many years, starting with Eric Clapton, Yardbirds, John Mayall, Stevie Rau Vaughan, then samples of BB King (Best of) and Muddy Waters.

While demoing louspeakers and CD power supplies at my infinitely wise dealer (i.e. Yoda), I belatedly discovered these 2 Eric Bibb albums:

and

Hope this works, as this is first attempt to download pictures from Photobucket...)

The "Evening with Eric Bibb" album has instantly become one of my all time favourites.

Is there any other similar music/other Eric Bibb album/other blues guitar artist that I having been missing all these years that really should be in the collection?

You should definately check out Hans Theessink as well - good Delta & country Blues - Southland is one of my favourite Dem discs...

Glad to see the Harry Manx LP - I've been spinning this one pretty much everyday now for a couple of weeks and adore it...

Thanks for all the recommendations. The new 555PS is now running in nicely, just in time for the next batch of CDs that arrived this morning.

I must confess that I bought the new Sugababes CD (much laughter and derision was heard at this point from other Forum members) and I am sorry to say that it is, how can I put this.... rubbish.

However the same cannot be said for the other purchases which are well, well worth the money. Album pictures to follow in next post.

I hope that the chortling has calmed down since my succinct review of the new Sugababes album, as I have also now had the opportunity to listen to these beauties, every one of which I am thoroughly enjoying.

Many thanks to each of you for your various recommendations; I will continue to work through the others.

Best regards, foot tapper

Ronnie Earl is definitely one of the top 3 best blues guitarists out there today...

Have a look for a great 3 cd set, Chicago -the blues today. Compilation including sets by The Junior Wells Chicago blues band, Otis Spann, Otis Rush, Johnny Shines, Big Walter Horton, J.B. Hutto and others. A great introduction to Chicago Blues.
