Hey Steen,

Go for the Shout! compilation if you can as this covers most of his music and pretty much his blues playing legacy. I like all his collaborations with other great artists which is covered in his "The Best of Friends" album, so probably does with Canned Heat which I have not heard yet.

Pointblank issues sound great.

Oh yea of the sheltered life ... "Goin' up country ..." ?? :eek:

I went to see (and hear!!) Louisiana Red the other day. Man the guy is the real Blues!! What a blast. At 75, he really gets the message out. The band had so much fun playing, that the audience went crazy. Whopping little concert, indeed:) I like those concerts in intimate surroundings a lot where the artists drops in at the bar:)
Mr Red is really a nice and kind guy. I talked to him several times and he was just as plain a guy, as you and me;) Man could he play with a bottleneck?? Wow. Here is a pic I took of Mr. Red that I am pretty happy with.

Steen:cool:

Here is another pic of the band! 5 guys having fun:)

The harp player Paul Lamb is well worth a mention too! Having heard a few harp-players I put him in the world-class category.
Magnificent guy, he could really get the others to do their best;)

Here is another shot that I am very pleased with.

Edit Does any of you guys know what kind of mike he is using for the harp??

Hi Steenoe,
... just in case nobody could help you with that question.
(I hope I didn't oversee that)
As far as it is recognizable to me:
1. The body most likely seems to be a customized Astatic JT-30 or a clone of it. (Definitely one of the older bodies or a copy of it, the later models had a Vol. Pot. which was arranged differently than with Paul's , the older ones had none and therefore are usually chosen for such mods.)
2. The Volumeknob seems to be from a Gibson Les Paul or similar.
That mod I saw first in connection with US-modder Fritz Hasenpusch. But since he's seems to promate the use of wooden bodies now, it's twofold improbable that this is one of his products.
http://www.harmonicamasterclass.com..._collection.htm
3. Rumours told me a customizer which used to make such mods too -- plus the chroming: "Mics By Silvertone", but I could find no valid website with my search-engine.
4. A lot of customizers are around these days, even in the UK, I guess and in Germany, namely Olaf Prinz.
http://www.vintage-microphones.de/index.html
Maybe one of the european customizers did it -- maybe even Paul himself.
5. As to the Poti and Mic Capsule used: I'm at a loss, cause I simply have no X-Ray view. In case you'd wanted to know a thing or two more about it : www.jt-30.com.

The 1st Crossroads concert was in Madison Square Garden with Sheryl Crow, Bob Dylan, Mary J Blige and a jazz saxophonist whose name escapes my mind. The 2-disc set was CR II set in Dallas. This feed is the 3rd of its kind...was live last night.

Got a link or an actual title? ... keyword "crossraods" not found except for festival #2 :confused: ...

Oops , never mind = found it! = "Benifit for the Crossroads ...", Right?

" ... Amazon.com notes that the DVD/video is 170 minutes in their review, yet it is only 108 minutes! More than an hour of music has been cut out by the manufacturers, including what I believed to be the highlights of the show. Gone are Eric Clapton's "My Father's Eyes", "Pilgrim", Sheryl Crow's "Run Baby Run", "Leaving Las Vegas", "If It Makes You Happy", and Bob Dylan's "Not Dark Yet", "Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat". Gone is the showstopping duet of between Dylan and Clapton of "Born In Time", a song Dylan wrote in 1991 that was covered by Clapton on his most recent album. ... I would have rathered to have selections that no other live recording is avaliable of, or even better, the entire concert. ... / ... A mixed bag. The other Clapton dvd's are probably better. Not a keeper but a good 1 off rental. ..." / Amazon Customer Reviews ... :rolleyes:

The "manufacturers", Warner, has never gotten Clapton or Dylan exactly right, and now show their short pants again ... also I read a review that this mix has been "jimmeyed" to be ported to 16 bit CD = compressed, botched, overly engineered and otherwise hosed up ...

"ERic Clapton and Friends in Concert - A Benefit for the Crossroads Centre at Antigua" is the title. I play it as much as #2 whenever I'm home. My old MF couldn't do justice to electric guitar so I make it a point to use either the Aleph 3 or Zv4j. Both bring out the body of the amplified strings along with extended highs without ear fatigue. The DVD has a choice between Dolby Digital, which should be 96kHz/24bits (5.1 -which sounded compressed in stereo speakers), and Stereo (probably 16 bits -RedBook) but still sounded very good overall. I really like this concert. I'm not aware which songs did not make it into the dvd but it's must be due to it being just a single disc.

The band was tight on almost all songs...some with Bob Dylan could be due to lack of playing time together and familiarity with the lyrics...with Bob missing some words on the song "Crossroads". Nathan East on bass -his timing was perfect; Steve Gadd on drums; Andy Fairweather-Low on guitar -complements Clapton all the time; David Sanborn on sax -passionately plays his instrument; Tim Carmon on keyboards -watch how he mimics Clapton's licks on "Old Love".

Here's a rough cut of "Old Love" in YouTube...

" "Unplugged" another tight crew ..." ... Clapton?

Actually I do have this one ... and the Bob Dylan one as well. These EmptyV "unplugged" videos are quite good, generally, with only a few complaints about sound quality or artist performances. :cool:

(Dylan's "Unplugged" performance is his usual = some good, some bad, some indifferent performances, all in the same set, on the same album. It is difficult to tell if his performance is affected by his a) dislike of the song, b) dislike of the audience, c) dislike of the venue, d) dislike of the audio quality, e) dislike of the backup band ... or the opposite in each case = he likes it ... anyway, one always has to listen to an entire Dylan set or album to get to the good stuff, such is the mix = it is possible to find the jewels, but pateince is required. My musician friends all love Dylan, even the bad performances, as they all "cover" something he has written and they are constantly looking for more to "cover". IMOP: about half of Dylan's music writing is good, about 1/4 of his performances are good, about 1/3 of his studio work is good, which puts him right up there at the top = most really good song writers write about 10 % good stuff.)

I've read the first post only.

I like Blues a lot, specially Buddy Guy. Etta James is also very good, but quite depressing... I like the blues rythm and the kind of melody, but very often these musics are too much sad for my taste, and just conflicts with my mood, then I don't listen to.

There's many "good mood" blues also, such "shotgun blues" from kenny wayne, but I don't consider it a true blues, since it's very different from the initial blues proposal... Should I call it a kind of rock?

A true Bluesman came this way.
The other day I went to a Blues concert. I had heard of them once, but really didnt know them; "Watermelon Slim and the Workers". Man I was surprised to experience the real thing in a degree that is still hard to beleive. If you ever get a chance to see this guy live, just go! He was very "audience-friendly" so to speak. I had a good chat with him twice and had my newly bought CD's signed. His story goes that when he was wounded in the Vietnam war, he learned to play the Blues on a 5$ guitar with a guitar pick made out of a rusty coffeecup and for the slide; he used his Zippo lighter! Well thats about as good as a bluesy story get:) I am really happy that I did go .....
He was nominated for 6 "Blues music awards" twice, and the Mojo magazine has his latest release "The wheel man" as the best Blues album in 2007. It is one of the albums nominated for the 6 awards! Only a few Blues men ever did that before. ( Buddy Guy, to mention one) Here is Slim's homepage and a pic of some signed CD's:) http://www.watermelonslim.com/
You can watch him at youtube too:

And also at Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/watermelonslim
If you wonder what the circuit behind the CD's is; its the Pumpkin getting a new home;)

maybe too raw for most, but I love Hound Dog Taylor.

If you like slide guitar, check out Dave Hole, full on Aussie blues player.

A couple of good ones:

No Escape from the Blues - nice electric blues

Birthright - nice acoustic blues

If you're not familiar with this guy, he was kind of an avant player in the early 80's, bred on Ornette Coleman's "harmolodics". At the time, Hendrix comparisons were made, probably because he could sing, compose and play guitar well.

His newer stuff is more classic blues, but with always with some twist.

Always loved the blues. Got hooked in the mid 60's when could go see The Yardbirds every Friday night at a pub in Croydon with Eric Clapton starting out on his path to 'Godliness'! Caught the recorded concert at the Craw Daddy Twickenham (the Sonny Boy Williamson LP) too, then a few early Cream club gigs and of course John Mayall who I really rate. Played lead in several thrown together gig bands around S. London (Maff Fisher later of Procul Harum was in one of them who I remember as a first rate blues keyboard player) then switched to bass for a bit with a band that had a residency in a pub in the Old Kent Road. These days (I'm getting on a bit!) I just stick to multi-tracking at home on a BOSS 900CD doing all the bits myself. There are a couple of examples on http://www.soundclick.com/rojalesbluesband one with a vocal track ... (I'm no singer!) ... the other is an instrumental. All the guitar parts (including the 'bass' via an octave dropper) are the same guitar ... a 'homemade' I've had for over forty years. I'm hoping to do some new tracks with keyboards on soon, also alto sax which I've been learning to play since Xmas. I try to write my own stuff which saves all the copyright hassle! Interesting to find a blues section here ... I originally came to see what's being said about home studios as my next project is to have a second crack at building one (first attempt too small once all the gear was in!)

Hey you guys, why not check out Roy Buchanan (sadly no longer with us). As an old fogey all this technology passes me by - but I'm sure you will find lots of links on the Net and via Amazon etc.

Whilst checking out Roy Buchanan, why not blow your mind by listening to a couple of Gary Moore's (Blues) CD's? Gary started off with Rock, but now he's older and wiser he plays a mean (fast as in scorching) blues.

Buddy Guy is the real deal - so natural.

Once I get the hang of this new found forum I'll come back with more recommendations maybe - but also, I shall be expecting you guys to recommend some good blues recordings.

Question: Now that the old timers have mainly passed onto Blues Heaven - who's going to replace them - to keep the blues alive?

As I have said so many times, the Blues is finished (only on the hitlist) but it will live forever.
There is a great subculture of Blues going on. Even a small country like here in Denmark, is having its fair share of dedicated Blues musicians. Even hardcore acoustic Delta blues is pretty much represented by artists that travelled the delta and so on. I am sure the blues will live on, but not as a competitor for the hitlist #1!! Every city of a certain size is sure to have some kind of Blues-joint, just like it has a Jazz joint. ( Those two are often combined, to be be performed at the same joint)
On a totally other note, here is a link to a marvellous collection of Blues music:

With the "International Bluesdays" comming up here in Odense with Johnny Winter as one of the attractions, I thought that a short presentation was in order. He has been a Blues advocate for years, and never did any muteny, as so many others did. All the 3 albums that he did release in 1969 are regarded as "must haves" If you like the guy! Also the albums "Let Me in" from 1991 and "Guitarslinger" from 1984 are regarded as highlights. Those 5 albums will get anyone started, if you like Johnny's kind of Blues. He made many more great albums, though..... Having been listening to him since the 70's, I am really looking forward to see him live. I hope to catch him backstage for an autograph....He-he.

I've enjoyed this thread. Thanks for sharing!

A few of my favorites:

Tommy Johnson (e.g., "Cool Drink of Water" and "Maggie Campbell")

Robert Pete Williams (very unusual for the blues, which, of course, usually is very conventional)

The Kings of Rhythm (Ike Turner's band; I especially enjoy the "I'm Tore Up" LP, which features Turner on guitar and a perfect sound)

Bukka White's Vocalion recordings (e.g., "Where Can I Change My Clothes")

"The Blues Came Down from Memphis" (a Charly collection of blues from Sun Records, including Doctor Ross's "Boogie Disease," James Cotton's "Cotton Crop Blues," and Rufus Thomas's "Tiger Man")

"Howling [sic] Wolf: Original Folk Blues" (United Records; some glorious moments [and an excruciating one, too] from the early 50s, including "Crying at Daybreak," a very good version of "Smokestack Lightnin'," and "House Rockers," which is summed up best by the Wolf himself: "Aaaahhh! Ain't that sweet? Darlin', that's so sweet!")

From Georgia, those guys are just great, and I have had the pleasure of seing them live 2 weeks ago, the first time they visit Denmark.
The best Blues act in a long time. They have a distinct Northern Missippi Hill influence that shines through now and then. You can hear traces from Junior Kimbrough and the like. Stunning music, indeed. I had a little chat with the band after the concert, and actually they did seem a little surprised about the crowd going totally nuts during some of the songs. Very nice guys, indeed.
Luckily, they will be back next year.
