James Alley Blues


Recommended Posts

it is the best kind especially good old murder ballads. Though Muddy Waters going electric and Howlin' Wolf and other bluesman similar to them are good. However, when white people (expect for Mike Bloomfield and The Rolling Stones) such as say Eric Clapton toyed with the blues, they runied it. Now, John Mayer is killing the blues even more.

check out: Robert Johnson, Charley Patton, Skip James, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Blind Willie McTell, Son House

 

also check out (even though he was white) Dock Boggs...Tweedy covered that song (also from the American Anthology of Folk Music) at that same concert and on the second DVD of I Am Trying To Break Your Heart.
