I love traditional Blues but would you rate these "Blue-Eyed" Blues songs for me?

Question

1 - Gary Moore and Albert King - Oh Pretty Woman - not the Roy Orbinson song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJamgmf5smY 2 - Johnny Winter - Be Careful With A fool http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Tyg5SJDpiQ 3 - Peter Green's Fleetwood mac - Need Your Love So...

Answer 1

Oh my god All My Love is one of my favorite songs that is real blues! Its Otis Rush Bluesbreaker Era Clapton is hard to beat that Les Paul and Marshall combo is a match made by God himself. His choice of notes blows my mind

Born In Chicago really reminds me of Buddy Guy the way Bloomfields playing is wild he really developed I love how raw and real it is prolly because both Bloomfield and Butterfield were raised in Chicago and learned from the great guitarists and harp players there

Need Your Love So Bad Peter Greens voice is great he like Bloomfield is very under underappreciated my 5th favorite with Bloomfield 2nd and Clapton 1rst

To me it seems like Duane Allman was the Greatest electric slide player ever better then Ry Cooder and Earl Hooker and Elmore James and Jeremy Spencer and Muddy and Rory he is 9 on my favorite

The only one that could be better would be Derek Trucks he changed my life i saw him just when i began playing guitar at age 8 and i couldnt see over the crowd because i was short and i go "Dad dad whos singing" its great gave me shivers down my spine and it was in the middle of Dereks solo

Rory is like the Irish Hendrix he can Play amazing he is a great writter went out of his way not to write a hit record he was a showman im too young to have seen him live but ive seen vidios on youtube and its crazy with his old '61 Strat his Long hair and flannel shirts is the coolest look ever

Answer 2

I'm very familiar with, own, and love all this stuff Mike. Great links :)

1) 10 - I've always enjoyed this version of Pretty Woman (not the Roy Orbison song) by Savoy Brown. It can be found on their 1967 debut LP "Shake Down" featuring Bryce Portius on vocals...thought you might enjoy;

2) 10 - One of my favourite cuts from his self titled LP...here's another;

3) 10 - Classic Fleetwood Mac...love all that stuff with Peter, and Jermey. Still have all the vinyls too :)

4) 8 - Bought this album about 10 years ago upon its release. Big long-time Kim fan.

5) 8 - Good stuff...got this on the Anthology LP released during the early 70's.

6) 8 - Saw an 11 year old Derek perform here in Calgary at the King Eddie several years ago. Since then I've been a big fan. Who knew drummers could spawn such great guitarists? Lol

7) 6 - I've been a huge fan of Rory for more than 40 years...Taste, and solo out-put. Not one of my favourite periods from his repertoire, but still enjoyable nonetheless. Here's another classic;

Answer 4

Hi Mike! Great stuff!!

I have just recently been enjoying more bluesy type rock and I am not familiar with it enough to give an educated rating, but I wanted to say I listened to each and every one of those songs, and love them all. A few of them I did know, The Bluesbreakers & Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac and some I did know by the melody but didnt know who they were by. But they are all really great!! So I wanted to thank you for posting them! ♥

Answer 5

1. Born in Chicago!
