That's very cool db. I'm not really a fan of post Thin Lizzy Gary Moore - he shreds too much - but anyone that's seen Albert King live is a king to me.

It was on the Still Got The Blues For You tour, which i think is his best solo album. I went 2 nights, Albert King joined him one night & Albert Collins joined him the other (both on the album)

You've seen Buddy Guy a few times, right? I seem to remember you saying you met him? I've only seen him once - amazing live show! I wish he'd come back to Japan...

Great stuff on this thread!  I scrolled through the whole thing to make sure the one I drafted in the Desert Island Draft was still out there.

Simply Masterful!

Love that one!

I just ordered a Lightnin' Hopkins anthology (Chills/Serg put Sometimes She Will on a mix for me)

I don't own anything by him but Robert Cray is playing in my city this Friday. The man's a legend, I should go right? Tickets aren't cheap though, about $75.
Chris Thomas King (people will know him from O Brother, Where Art Thou) is on the bill too.

Any thoughts?

Robert Cray really should be bigger than what he is. Cray along with Stevie Ray Vaughan, brought the blues back into the mainstream, making it relevant in the 80s. And, how many bluesmen roll through Japan anyway?

$75 is fairly steep, but bluemen are showmen, so it will more than likely be a great night. I've seen Chris Thomas King in concert and he is great live. He'll contrast nicely with Cray's more Chicago style blues.

Waiting outside the backdoor at the Ga Theater in Athens Ga after a Cray show at the theater out walks RCray from the backdoor. I looked at him like I just saw a ghost and looked like a deer in the headlights. I barely lifted my hand to shake his and said hello Mr Cray. He shook my hand in stride and said hello and stepped aboard his bus. His bus was 15 feet from the back door of the venue. I was the only person to catch him. I watched from the back of the venue and took off for the door after the show. After the encounter I sprouted two golden wings out of my ass and flew home.

I really dig late 40s early 50s John Lee Hooker  8-)

Not the one thing. I used to think I
could at least some way put things right.
