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.

Sam Phillips rermembered him "as about sis foot six, with the biggest feet i'd ever seen on a human being..." Phillips also considered Wolf the greatest talent among his many discoveries, Elvis included. Remembering the impression he made in the Delta in the 1930s, Johnny Shines likened Wolf to "some kind of beast or something," adding that his fearsome presence was a product not of his size but of the sound he was giving off."

Thank you for everyone contributing. I’m going to be listening to A LOT of blues. I have a contribution- Jimmy Rogers-Chicago Bound (1970, Chess), compilation of 1950s Chess recordings. Rogers’ back-up band is a who’s who of Chicago blues-Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters, Little Walter, Walter "Shaky" Horton, Fred Below, Otis Spann.
