dave9199 Posted January 12, 2004 Report Posted January 12, 2004 So just wondering what other names I should look for besides Robert Johnson, Son House, Skip James & Charley Patton. Thank you! Quote
Brandon Burke Posted January 12, 2004 Report Posted January 12, 2004 Some other all-time faves: Bukka White - Legacy comp. Mississippi John Hurt - 1928 Okeh ...and virtually anything on Yazoo Records esp. the Before the Blues series. Quote
danasgoodstuff Posted January 12, 2004 Report Posted January 12, 2004 That depends how narrowly you want to define "Delta Blues" (what was that quote about Hendrix playing delta blues, for the delta of a river on Mars?). But the first name that popped into my little head was Tommy Johnson, a big influence on Howlin' Wolf, among others. Quote
Joe Posted January 12, 2004 Report Posted January 12, 2004 Mississippi Fred McDowell -- prolific artist late in life, but you cannot go wrong with I DO NOT PLAY NO ROCK 'N ROLL. Also, check out Muddy Waters' PLANTATION RECORDINGS. Quote
Adam Posted January 13, 2004 Report Posted January 13, 2004 (edited) See the new book description in the Jazz in Print forum, whcih is on this topic. Also, where is JAW's great Blues Recommendations list? I'll find it... It's in Miscellaneous Music http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...wtopic=371&st=0 Edited January 13, 2004 by Adam Quote
dave9199 Posted January 13, 2004 Author Report Posted January 13, 2004 Big thanks to all especially Adam for the link & J.A.W. for e-mailing me said link. I've temporarily run out of jazz people to focus on (how's the Max Roach stuff coming JSngry?) and wanted to round things out with some blues. Quote
