I have a long long history of abusing this song, but I make up for all of it by posting this magnificent version.

I think even Bobby Bland did a version.

Bobby also does a great Stormy Monday

whelp...i know who i'll be listening to this weekend.
he may just be the most gifted blues guitarist/vocalist nobody seems to know about.
i've always preferred him to Clapton and it's not even really close in my mind.

'So on reconsideration....I think I'm going to have to stop and think again' is a great line

Peter Green and other original members of Fleetwood Mac supported Duster and recorded a few tracks with him on his first album.

Duster died at the age of 30 after falling asleep at the wheel driving home after a night of playing with Memphis Slim

and i have to post Peter Green and Fleetwood Mac playing 'Oh Well' from the same era

and i'll finish by leaving this absolute beauty by Peter Green....wow....just wow...

Mike Bloomfield was born this day in 1943.

What Chicago hoped to be:

getting booed whilst inventing folk rock

ignore drums

......................

from wiki:

"Otis Spann died in 1970. He was buried in Burr Oak Cemetery, in Alsip, Illinois. His grave was unmarked for almost thirty years, until Steve Salter (president of the Killer Blues Headstone Project) wrote a letter to Blues Revue magazine, saying, "This piano great is lying in an unmarked grave. Let's do something about this deplorable situation". Blues enthusiasts from around the world sent donations to purchase a headstone. On June 6, 1999, the marker was unveiled in a private ceremony. The stone is inscribed, "Otis played the deepest blues we ever heard – He'll play forever in our hearts".'

the post about Spann's grave reminded me of a recent email i received from my septuagenarian friend from mississippi. he's a huge traditional delta blues fan who shares with me many lesser known musicians he saw or heard while he was growing up.

Quote:

I noticed the Robert Johnson documentary on Netflix….In the piece there is a scene of the RJ’s grave in a shady graveyard outside Greenwood, MS., north of town on Money Road. I took my GF there last fall on a road trip to the Delta. I had not been to RJ’s grave and once there, I didn’t enjoy it. I realized that the grave lies about 3 miles south of Money, MS. All along the Money Road flows the Little Tallahatchie River, a slow muddy Delta curling river. There in Money is the Tallahatchie River Bridge. That’s where Billie Joe jumped off, a pretty grim story Bobbie Gentry told, for sure. Yet it’s no match for much more grim story. There outside Money, several men, who had abducted Emmitt Till, took him, shot him, mutilated him, and sank his body in the River. I am sure you know that that terrible deed truly began America’s Civil Rights Movement. So, with a 3 to 4 mile radius, some pretty peculiar things live on.

Many years ago I saw Keb Mo at a small venue - he is a great traditional bluesman (Taj Mahal type, they have done concerts together I believe), his bassman had a old standup wood bass. Percussionist used a great variety of accessories including washboard and etc.

Wonderful performer, warm and real.

Sonny II's sister was married to Howlin' Wolf and he lived with them for a period of time. can you image the music that happened while they were just sitting around drinking on the porch in the evening?
