We see the same thing here.

I feel that "Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton" is a must own album. But man, I just love Peter Green so much and I actually prefer "A Hard Road".

What a run of guitarists Mayall had: Clapton - Green - Mick Taylor. Yowza!

Great album.

I own al that early Mayall, Clapton, Green stuff, British blues gets no better.

This little gem a great head phones tune.




Then there's....

[Ubeja Vontell]

This is one of my favorite songs. Love the harmonica work here.




Gotta mix....








J.B.Lenoir cover there.

[Ubeja Vontell]

The great Albert Lee.




Jeremy Spencer covering the great Elmore James who was a huge influense on Brian Jones of The Rolling Stones.






Jeff Beck, another one of those hidden gems. Headphones a must.

[Ubeja Vontell]

Gotta give Mayall/Green props for covering this classic.




Speaking of covers...

Here is the great JoAnn Kelly the Queen of them British blues covering Skip James incredible "Hard Time Killing Floor"





Alvin Lee covering the above mentioned Sonny Boy Williamson****





**** his name was Rice Miller and he was a trip, he actually stold "Sonny Boy Williamson" from an earlier harmonica legend John Lee "Sonny Boy" Williamson. He got away with it because he was also great.

Skip James











Part of my enjoyment of music is finding out where it all came from, the origins, the who influensed who.

Next time you hear Led Zeppelin's "Levee Breaks".....

Love Jenny. I remember thinking "Why haven't I heard this before?" when I first heard it. That Savoy Brown "video" is something.

I'm glad you started this thread. It is going to be a great bluesy weekend.

[Oz_Chief]

Yeah, influences. I think this song stole from Willie Dixon and then was stolen from for Whole Lotta Love.



I really like some of the Small Faces sound. They have a song Rene from the Ogden's album that has a killer sound and is one of the more fun prostitute tunes out there.
