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.

BTW David 99, what does LOL stand for?

LOL= LAUGH ON LINE

OR LOL= Laugh out loud

without question my favorite is riviera paradise by stevie ray vaughan. i saw him play this live at the stone pony in asbury park,n.j. no more than 20 feet away and i still remember it like it was yesterday. i have even told my kids i want this played at my funeral non-stop. i still miss him.
