Great topic, but I can't stop at just one either: J.J. Cale "Guitar Man"-- a lighter form of blues with New Orleans influence, as compared to the the harder Chicago blues. JJ is an excellent guitar player and the trk "Guitar Man" is well titled. Buddy Guy "Damn Right I've Got the Blues"-- some say BG plays over the top-- maybe so, but nobody has played "Mustang Sally" with the NRG and excitment that BG does. ZZ Top "One Foot in the Blues"-- their best. Cowboy Junkies "The Caution Horses", Margo Timmins voice is haunting but still intimate. And finally, Enigma II, "The Cross of Changes"-- I get lost in the percussion, and the screaming electric guitars tear me up. Thanks D99.
