Blues for Aficionados
I have found that postings music is a good way to listen to all the music in your collection. I have neglected the ultimate source of much of the music I post. This tread corrects that oversight. All Blues post are welcome. I will concentrate on the Delta.

The Muddy Waters Tribute Band YOU'RE GONNA MISS ME (When I'm Dead and Gone) Telarc Blues 1996 Notes: "Muddy Waters, hallowed be thy name. As the prime architect of Chicago Blues, this blessed son of Mississippi Delta sharecroppers belongs to to the celestial hierarchy of American originals. With a manner of musical expression rivaling the break of day for simplicity and rightness, Waters let his deep, rumbling voice and deft bottleneck playing resonate in now-classic songs that vented the hopes, dreams, joy, heartbreak, and pain of disenfranchised blacks living in the industrial North after World War ll. In doing so, Waters cut the cornerstone for rock'n'roll and marked popular culture for all time."
