Time to start a “Blues” thread. Starting off with the title track by Sven Z and the Chicago Express.

This digs deep into the Chicago Blues Scene of the '70’s, Maxwell Street, and then Kingston Mines.

I am cross posting this in the Blues thread as well, and have it in the Strictly jazz sounds where one can read my impressions. Is it blues, well it has a soulful and funky feel to it.

The cover is rather off putting IMO, but the music is WOW!

13

Yes, I agree… I have no control over the cover :slightly_smiling_face:

14

I have a couple that are down right nasty, covers that is. Best that I not post them here.

My absolute favorite Blues album (and it’s even DSD). Only this one of him…and not much else comes even close for me.

But please name the artist and title if you recommend the music. Mini reviews are also great.

David “Honeyboy” Edwards embodies the continuity from blues’ Mississippi Delta roots to electric Chicago blues. Born in 1914 - at 17 years old he played with Charley Patton, “Honeyboy” was 87 on this recording from 2001.

Yes, good ole Honeyboy Edwards and the North Missippi Hils Blues sound. Going back to the hill country, versus delta, fife and drum sound, as well as the Hemphill family. Certainly a lot of fine blues came out of Holly Springs, Mississippi. Then there is R.L. Burnside, Junior Kimbrough, T-Model Ford, …
Road Trip anyone…?

For me the blues is best in the flesh, heard live. It is the vibe, the dancin’, the sweat and the buzz, and then some… Not for the faint hearted. So get yer mojo workin’, and get some grindin’!
