Simply Blues

been there done that and it’s good

Been to Gips outside of Bessemer?

no, more clubs in New Orleans

Willie King and the Liberators

No Louisiana Jukes?

If there’s live music in a club with beer, I’ll give it a couple rounds, and usually stay for more…I’m out of practice btw

I close it, in for the after hours thing, lock it down, and put a bucket on the bar to cover the “staff”.


Chicago Blues - Recorded 1972.

Late night @Dirk


A big man with a big sound, the dynamic range of Williams work with clarity and presence from the quietest, almost whisper-like guitar to his loudest shouts, and everything in between.

Saturday night’ I am seldom in bed before 1:30 / 2am… :slightly_smiling_face:

That’s about when I start waking up! :grin:

James Cotton ~ Deep In The Blues.

Cotton on blues harmonica… mid '90s, in the room type of recording, featuring Charlie Haden on bass and Joe Louis Walker on guitar.


The raw unadorned sound of Junior Kimbrough, with my favorite tracks, All Night Long, and Sad Days and Lonely Nights.


Paul Butterfield Blues band, with I Got My Mojo Workin’, and Shake Your Money Maker.

Regarding Charley Patton, this JSP Box Set has it all, but I find the Yazoo releases easier on my ears. I’ll list a few below.

“Rootin’ Ground Hog”!

Gotta love blues song titles and their penchant for being about the horizontal bop (Credit: Bob Seger).

:wink:

Is this Mr. Kimbrough on the cover or a body double? :wink:
