Speaking of Melvin Taylor, who is great. I recently had the pleasure of seeing him live at "Rosa's", a Chicago blues joint on Armitrage. Only about 20 people in the place on a Tuesday evening. He usually plays every Tuesday and also on a lot of weekends there. He and his band were a power trio the night I saw them. Absolutely great, and a rare chance to see one of the premier blues, or any style, guitarists alive today in a very small intimate, great setting. What are you waiting for. Also, decent selection of "good" beer to dring while your there.
Muddy Waters "Folksinger" absolute classic

Jorma Kaukonen "Blue Country Heart" DSD recording country blues

Junior Wells "Come on In To My House" his best since Hoodoo Man

Allman Brothers Band "Live at Fillmore East" and "Eat A Peach" okay so it isn't all blues but what blues there is are great

Jimmy Reed "At Carnegie Hall" a studio recreation of a live concert but absolutely great stuff for classic blues

Stevie Ray Vaughn "Texas Flood" and "Couldn't Stand The Weather" enough said

George Thorogood and the Destroyers first album - most people don't seem to know that this reissue is a hybrid SACD.
Hey Wildoats,
I think I was at that show. I was sitting at the corner table stage left (right if you're looking at the stage) and I was there with my friend and his girlfriend, who is unbelievably hot. Melvin solo'd in front of her twice, and was totally hitting on her between sets. My friend kept telling Melvin "I'm RIGHT HERE, didn't you notice? That's MY girlfriend you've been hitting on all night long!" He kept right on hitting. It was hilarious. He's an amazing guitar player. I wish some of his stuff was on SACD.
I second the suggestion to get "Folk Singer" by Muddy Waters. It's a must-have. Also, I'd recommend "David Johansen and the Harry Smiths" on Chesky. He plays a lot of Blues and old-time American standards. It's a FANTANSTIC SACD. Chesk it out.

Cheers.
