Blues from the 50s/60s/70s


Im very interested in build a nice collection of blues from the 50s to 70s and found that vinil is the way to go because the great qwuality and variety. I need help with names of the best performers and great recordings of those years. Would you help me with some titles and details of what specials recordings I need to find? thanks in advance

Jimmy Reed is one of my all time favorites.
Some of his vinyl has been re-issued.
I suggest Ebay if you don't have a local store.
It will not be hard to build a decent collection.

Crem 1 and Chashmal are both jerks, their posts have no value.
Jorsan,

I'm sorry you received these first two responses to your post and I understand your feelings. From other posts I've seen from Crem1, I suspect his intent was humor and not to be unkind. And that's the challenge for us all in these forums: making sure our intent is clear when only our words can appear. It's good to see that you've received some additional suggestions that may help you move along in your explorations of Blues!

...honestly dont understand why those first two answers , is easiest just not to post.

I just started buying lp's at local stores, on ebay and when i travel. I asked a friend and he gave me some labels to look for. I do a lot of reserach on the web. The fun is in the hunt and the research.

labels

chess
cadet
arhoolie
delmark
alligator
okeh
If I were to pick one to start with, I would go for Muddy Waters 'Folk Singer.'
I agree, and the Chess records version has amazing sonics, better than most MFSL records I have (from other artists).

Sadly, a lot of great early performer's recordings are not exactly hi fidelity, such as Blind Willie Johnson. These are still worth having and great listening though.
Jorsan here are a few i love to listen to on vinyl.
Any of Bobby Blue Blands lps.
The Blues Brothers Soundtrack is a pure pleasure of sound and blues
Any of Clarence Gatemouth Browns lps.
Canned Heat plays the blues just fine.
Theres a issue of lps called Chicago The Blues Today a variety of Bands and singers good blues music.
Eric Claptons Blues World, Me and Mr. Johnson, Riding with the king.
Any James Cotton lp very good blues music.
Jimi Hendrix Blues on MFSL
Any of the Kings Albert, BB, Freddy,
You already know this Led Zepplen 1 2 3
John Mayhall plays the blues for sure any of them
Delbert Mcclinton does the blues
Early Fleetwood Mac is pure blues
