My baby left me... left me sad and bluuuuueee....

How about "Better Off With the Blues" by Delbert McClinton, album title is "One of the Fortunate Few". It's an average recording, but has some really good songs. I believe it is out of print, you may be able to pick up a copy on Ebay or some other place on-line.

Boz Scaggs (1969/1978) (#171) ***
Scaggs's self-titled debut did not received its due recognition upon its initial release, but has since become a classic among die-hard fans. A bit unfocused stylistically, the album shows Scaggs's diverse musical roots--country/western music ("Now You're Gone"), rhythm & blues ("Loan Me a Dime"), and soul ("Sweet Release"). You can even hear Boz yodel in the parlor tune "Waiting for a Train." The beautiful ballad "Finding Her" anticipated the style of Scaggs's mid-seventies classics. Scaggs's backup band, from Muscle Shoals, Alabama, also appeared on Paul Simon's 1973 album There Goes Rhymin' Simon. Best song: "Loan Me a Dime."

Loan Me a Dime does it for me.
lucky dogg...she LEFT you. how'd ya do it?

Slappy,
Had you even gotten married yet? I thought you were just about to get married. Either way, condolences or congratulations, whichever are in order. Anyway, for me situations like this always call for a little David Bromberg, more angry than sad.

Slappy,

Isn't this the same woman who made you sell your last stereo system so you could buy a house?

Seems to me you are better off.

Next time, look for a rich woman. Preferrably a 18 year old, blonde, nympho, with a multi-million dollar trust fund! Oh wait, that would be Paris Hilton. Nevermind!

No offense to the above recommendations, but get yourself some real blues. Check out Otis Rush "Cold Day In Hell". It's a classic Chicago West Side Blues sound. The difference between Rush and Boz or Delbert (who btw, I actually like quite a lot) is greater than the difference between Sean Connery and Roger Moore.
