OK, I'm catching a ride from the poker room at the V. to my hotel with a friend (who was born on the other side of the globe at least 20 years after Walter died) when this song comes up on her ipod playlist.

Just Your Fool

I take it all back. There's hope for the world after all.

Check out this slide player. Pretty good but I can't figure out exactly how he's doing it.

This is Charlie Parr, a blues/country-blues/folk singer from Minnesota I think. Not very well known and I don't actually know if he's still recording. These songs are amazing though, Possessed by the Devil is a favourite of mine.

Two from Gus Cannon featuring Gus on banjo and jug and the immortal Noah Lewis on harp.

Cannon's Jug Stompers influenced Captain Beefheart, Ry Cooder, the Grateful Dead and God knows who else.

I was listening to the Jug Stompers and wishing that they had some Jed Davenport on Youtube, when lo and behold I found two from my nominee for the greatest harp player of that era:

Anyone here like Eric Bibb?

Enjoy!

Shingle by Shingle

And here he is doing a cover of what I believe is an old Walter Davis song, Come Back Baby

Couldn't find the original but here's a guy doing a pretty good copy of Bert Jansch's version of Come Back Baby.

Not sure which one I prefer.

I lied...it was there..

I like Slim Harpo a lot. This one, Shake Your Hips, and Scratch My Back. Spare and elegant.

Don't think I have posted this, but if I did it is certainly worth a rerun.

Endless Boogie by John Lee Hooker and friends.

If you hook this up through a good speaker system it does it justice.

No speakers, but it sounded fine on my MDR-V6s.

Another by Sonny Boy Williamson II. "One of the best harmonica tunes ever recorded," said Paul Butterfield.

I skimmed through this quick, but will have to come back to it when I have more time. Love the blues.

I didn't see anyone mention Snooky Prior, Eric Clapton, Albert King, Magic Sam, Canned Heat, Johnny Winter, T-Model Ford, and I'll think of more...

And if you haven't heard Ray Charles' Blackjack... you better axe somebody.
