Blues comes in all flavors.



Baroque and Blue

Quite a flashback for me there, Webb, that Rampal/Bolling, 30 years ago played some of it, not that specific CD there, but some other stuff done up for guitar and piano, so it was me on guitar, with a lady pianist friend. Some of the music was published, so we were able to render it pretty accurately. Wow, I had totally, totally forgotten all about that.

The first is plain jamming IMO.

Some great stuff here.....Jimi, Chicken Shack and Mr Slowhand plus the others.

I was trying to think what blues song has been covered most, I don't know the definitive answer but this one's got to be a candidate. My favourite version is Eric Claptons version on the album Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs......"Nobody knows you when you're down and out" by Jimmy Cox 1923.

Here's the Bessie Smith version:

and here's Mr Clapton:

Thanks G.K.
I like that comparison. Music is always a matter of "mood"! You know what i mean.

And i knew Mr. Slowhand will turn up

I got the best LP, IMO, he's ever made... with a lot of blues music
"Just one night" recorded live in Budokan Theatre, Tokyo, dec. 1979.

Here is one
