Classic Blues Albums
« on: June 21, 2009, 02:22:54 PM »
Well I've just got round to setting up an itunes store account and want to get some more blues.  I've got quite a lot of compilations but want some classic blues albums so one of each for the three kings etc.

Suggestions please!

King of the Delta Blues Singers - Robert Johnson. Live at the regal B B King. Try and get some T Bone Walker and Son House and some Peter Green/early Fleetwood Mac.

Thanks Guys,

I have nearly all of the early Fleetwood Mac and SRV stuff (and it great!) but I like the  suggestions like Son House, I'll check them out...and BB king Live at the Regal I've heard mentioned a lot. 

What about Freddie King and Albert King, what are their classic albums?

I don't know about individual albums, but there are some great compilations.

There's a really good 2-disc Albert King "Ultimate Collection" on Rhino Records.

You gotta have Howlin Wolf and Muddy Waters :) I got a couple of recent "best ofs", both double CDs, no idea what they're called, but they got everything what you need :lol:

And I didn't notice John Lee Hooker in the list above?

And check out a current English chap called Ian Siegal - especially "Swagger" and "Meat and Potatos", but anything by him that you can lay your paws on...
