Your favorite blues album?

Real Folk Blues series by Chess Records in the fifties were outstanding especially the Muddy Waters and Howlin Wolf. Another series that came later, More Real Folk Blues wasn't as entertaining but still okay with no real standouts. Original mono's sound infintely better than the Steve Hoffman digital mastered,CHESS/MCA reissues of the 1980's.In the GRT/Chess days there was a series called "aka" double sets that were pretty good too. Great pre-digital mono sound but not as glorious as the original pressings.

I can't pick just 1...
Taj Mahal "The Real Thing" cooks and has 4 tubas.
Keb Mo "Just Like You" has wife appeal.
BB King "Blues On The Bayou" is the best in years from BB.
Burton Garr "Mighty Long Road" is the best you never heard.

Anyone have a COME TO FIND on AUDIOQUEST vinyl to trade or sell? Can't find anywhere. Limabean,if you like Joe turner you will love a Mercury CD called the R&B years, It's a 2cd set,1st disc: Eddie Vinson, Dinah Washington others. 2nd disc: Louis Jordon, Buddy & Ella Johnson who are fantastic.Their only album on Mercury (Stage Show) goes for a tidy sum and for good reason. And the Louis Jordon tunes are some of his very best. Both artist will remind yu of the very best Joe Turner years.

Came across an interesting CD last week. "Booty and the Beast" by Popa Chubby. The songs are for the most part original, the recording quality is not too bad for a small label, and the serious, serious "Boooogey Woooogey" sound keeps my feet taping. I don't know if I would label it my favorite, but I think it deserves a listen.

Actually, my feet would be tapping ... if they weren't taping.
