Some Great Bluesmen? Name your favourite!
 

Hey guys i like lots of bluesmen like: T-Bone Walker, Freddie King, BB King, Peter Green, Magic Sam. Can you name some blues men you like so i have some new kind of original blues to listen to.

Toni Loomi

I find blues extremely boring when it's bluesrock/pure blues.

Kurk Conane

Tobias

I find blues to be an excuse for people that play guitar poorly.

that too. boring lyrics, boring rhythms.

"it's all about the feeling man!!!"

Yeah well, it still bores me to death no matter how much your baby left you this morning.

I "feel" incredibly irritated by the fact that all of their bends are flat. Does that count?

Buddy Guy

lil wayne




is that joke old yet?

Willy Brown

And Mashed Potato Johnson

His playing sounds pretty spot on to the old pre-World War II blues "masters" though.

I like most all the great classic Delta guys... Son House and Robert Johnson and Skip James and all those cats.

Some fine contemporary traditional-style players as well. Keb Mo, Guy Davis.... Lots more.

I got the free trial of XM radio with my new car, and the ONLY channel I found to listen to is the "Bluesville" channel.

Brian Fallon.

Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf if no one mentioned them yet.

Kristen, shut your piehole, you arrogant elitist!

SRV
