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


Hey folks

So the woman packed up and left, decided to move out for a while, and despite her insistance it aint over, i know it is!!!!!

So i spent a good part of the weekend on the porch of my new house in this beautiful colorado weather drank ice cold beer and jammed out to BB King and Eric Claptons DVD-A "Riding With the King", some very good fitting songs from that album for the situation.

What are the best "My baby left me" Blues out there? Suddenly without having to support my girl anymore i found that my spending cash is not only increased but i can do whatever i want with it. So im looking to pick up some real good blues.

There is only one, and only one CD to buy when you have the blues about a woman, and that is Layla, nothing in the world compares to it, period. Check out Bobby singing (I mean weeping) the background vocals to Layla, Why does love got to be so sad, Thorn Tree in a Garden, man it just dosen't get any better than this. Clapton at his best with Bell Bottom Blues and the added bonus of Duane Allman's slide geetar. I learned to play guitar from these two guys who have had more blues to sing and play about then any body. Too bad you don't live closer I would buy the beer for the entire week! I feel your pain, my brother, but get the CD, drink your sorrows away and then go out and chase some skirt! You will find some fresh poon tang out there in a month or so, so get on your horse and ride!

Get the Layla CD and play da blues away!

Happy Listening.
I somehow knew this thread had to be you after 3 sentences slappy. Anyway plenty of fish in the sea go find another. You got any Zeppelin? Try "I can't quit you babe"
'Yesterday'. by the Beatles.

Or, if you are thinking of going back to her, try 'Reviewing The Situation' from the "OLIVER!" soundtrack....a song befitting your sense of humor.

If you are really feeling angry and used, 'Dirty Water' from the Jesus & Mary Chain (Stoned and Dethroned album) is, in my opinion one of the ultimate 'skrew you too' songs ever written.
The singer is a "woman", but Etta James will make you cry in your drink. Sam McClain too.

Slappy, enjoy the extra time you now have. I found it to be really great, really cleared my head on quite a few things. Just don't get weird on us. Or more weird I should say :>).

Good luck,
