Blues for Aficionados

Wow! Things you can find on a mellow Saturday night. 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.

Paul Butterfield Blues Band Better Days

Blood Sweat and Tears

Walter Trout "Ordinary Madness"

Roosevelt Sykes-Dirty Double Mother-recorded in 1973 and released by the BluesWay label. Roosevelt Sykes (January 31, 1906 – July 17, 1983) was an American blues musician, also known as "the Honeydripper". He plays piano in a barrelhouse style of blues, in the musical form that got its start in brothels in New Orleans. You'll get a chuckle by listening carefully to the lyrics.

Here’s an Oscar Peterson disc that tends to fly under the radar a bit but well worth owning and is very well recorded…
