Two perhaps not as well known. Both these sets were recorded at a time when the blues were resurgent and new young talent was paying tribute to those who set the tone of what would become Chicago Blues or for most of us on the "southside" "The Blues" The fathers and sons album partially recorded at Sulliavan and Adler's acoustically perfect, Auditorium Theatre in Chicago at what was called Super Cosmic Joy Scout Jamboree: Muddy, Otis, Bloomfield, Butterfield, Dunn, Boooker, Lay and other guests. (yeah I was lucky enough to be there). Another is the two volume set of Fleetwwood Mac with Willie Dixon (IMHO the best Blues songwriter), Otis Span, Big Walter, Honeyboy Edwards, Buddy Guy, SP Leary, and a few drop-ins, recorded at Chess Studios in 69 and released under various names as" Fleetwood Mac in Chicago", "Get off in Chicago", "Blues Jam in Chicago" etc. " This was Fleetwwood Mac (Green, Kewin, Spenser, McVie and Fleetwood) not the pop band line-up.
Blues for Aficionados
I have found that postings music is a good way to listen to all the music in your collection. I have neglected the ultimate source of much of the music I post. This tread corrects that oversight. All Blues post are welcome. I will concentrate on the Delta.

Earl Hooker BLUE GUITAR Paula Records 1991 Excerpts from the Notes: "Before the age of ten while Earl Hooker and his family lived in Clarksdale, Mississippi, Earl taught himself to play the guitar. At the age of ten his family moved to Chicago. That following year he attended Lyon and Healy Music School...In the early 1940's he occasionally worked the streets for tips with Bo Diddley and others.... In 1949 he toured for several years with Ike Turner's group throughout Tennessee, Mississippi and Florida...frequently appeared with Sonny Boy Williamson on the King Biscuit Time on radio station KFFA in Helena, Arkansas...In 1965 he appeared with the Beatles on the Ready Steady Go show on BBC-TV...
