any blues fans?

just woundering, theres a great new artist out called jamie cullum woundered if u guys like blues/jazz stuff

hehehe, that is quite awesome... I just walked to my stereo and put in a new blues collection I bought, with the following artists on it:

b.b. king
john lee hooker
elmore james
santana
clapton
muddy waters etc. etc. etc.

Then I opened my internet explorer and checked the new posts, and saw this. Well, I loooove blues. You should really check out the black keys, they are pretty good too.

you walked into your stereo? you ok? heheh ok um. . . yeh lol back to normal,

i have b.b kings greatest hits
santana i like and the rest i havent listened to, glad to have another blues fan (im 15 so yeh im drifitng from the teen crap) ive been listenin to jazz since i was like 12 but i only recently curse down the teen crap lol

Keith Tkachuk, Chris Pronger and Osgood play well at times, but I'm mostly impressed with the play of Pavol Demitra, when he's healthy, and Al MacInnis' slapshot is one of the hardest in history, so that's pretty hard to stop. Throw that in with the longest playoff streak in pro sports, and you've got one tough competitor.

:D Oh, I thought you were talking about the St. Louis Blues hockey team... :D

On a serious tip, though, I like Stevie Ray Vaughn, Hendrix Blues and Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Clapton, BB and Muddy Waters are great, too.

Somebody let me hear Jamie Cullum like 2 nights ago, his Twentysomething (?) cd I think. Definately some talent there.

Im not sure if santana or clapton really fit.....but i love them anyway! And i only listen to blues if im going to play a riff on the guitar. Thats bout it.

(im 15 so yeh im drifitng from the teen crap)

That warms my heart. It's good to see young people get into good music.

by the way, I love blues. LOVe it.

Im not sure if santana or clapton really fit

What are you talking about? clapton is 100% blues. 110%. Everything he did came from the blues. Listen to some Cream songs like Born Under A Bad Sign, Strange Brew, and Spoonful. You'll definitely hear it. Even, like, Crossroads has a blues progression going on, even though that might be more rock-y. STILL heavily blues influenced though.

Same goes for Rob Plant and Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin. And Jeck Beck. And Jimi Hendrix... All those guys took roots in the blues and it Really shows in their songs. (i.e. bluesy by led zep - Since I've Been Loving You, The Lemon Song, I Can't Quit You Baby, and others :D )

santana, is more latiny, but he's got bluesy stuff, it could be argued.

BB King is the MAN.



I don't know enough about blues to go on but I do love it.

however, jazz.... lol I <3 jazz too man, I could go on naming jazz artists? (you did mention it in your first post)

bill evans x a billion
thelonious monk
dave brubeck quartet (probably should mention paul desmond, he was the sax for them and was so fuggin nice)
oscar peterson
miles davis
john coltrane
louis armstrong
duke ellington

and others :D



but really mikey it's good to see you mature and start to take an interest in music like this... too many people are sucked in by the trap of simpleton music like they play today. :D
