P-Belly Evans Posted May 7, 2022 Posted May 7, 2022 One of my fave blues rock bands with an absolute killer.... Then there is this..... Hats off.. https://youtu.be/d9eNyWFT64o Quote
P-Belly Evans Posted May 7, 2022 Posted May 7, 2022 I feel like I must redress the balance after blues rock dalliance.......One of my Dad's faves and rightly so. Can't beat him. https://youtu.be/3ISfX91HERc 1 Quote

His music covers a wide range of styles. Me and the wife have been to see him at least half a dozen times. I envy you, he's not coming to the UK this trip!!! 1 Quote

I was lucky enough to see Taj in Dublin in about 1981. He's a huge favourite of mine. Still don't think I'll get milady to go, though ... 🙄 1 Quote
Jonesy Posted May 9, 2022 Author Posted May 9, 2022 I've said it before and I'll say it again - Koko Taylor, what a voice! I love the bass line for 'Trying to make a living' and there's a handy little vid on YT with someone playing it..... The original line was played by Cornelius Boyson, which I think we can all agree is a cool name and the dude looked even cooler...... Quote
Coilte Posted May 10, 2022 Posted May 10, 2022 Sixty posts in, and still no mention of the grand farther of British blues...John Mayall. Let's put that right. 😉 While this track is not your "traditional" blues, it is one of my favourites, as is the whole album ("Turning Point"). At the time, Mayall decided to dispense with lead guitar and drums (hence the album title). Johnny Almond's sax playing throughout the album is superb and more than makes up for the lack of lead guitar IMO. Quote

I'm just listening to 'Call on me/That's the way love is' and, although the 70s albums are good, I'm much preferring his earlier stuff. Spotify seems to have some pretty huge gaps in his discography, but I'll get through what they have and check out the rest on YT. 1 Quote
NoRhino Posted July 28, 2022 Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) Buy or listen to Canned Heats greatest hits. Larry Taylor is all you'll ever need to listen to. A Blues bass masterclass. Edited July 28, 2022 by NoRhino Quote
Mykesbass Posted July 29, 2022 Posted July 29, 2022 Anyone looking for a bit of an updated take on the Blues check out Fantastic Negrito. Quite a funky take but still firmly rooted in the genre. 1 Quote
