Haha Cheers RC, your enthusiasm makes me smile  :)

I'll look out for Give Me Time & will def hit you up if I can't find it!

With regards to being the boards biggest blues fan (he's not been around for a few days but) you might have to duke it out with Jaimoe  ;)

MJ, great album...& I'm sure a lot of serious Hendrix fans will argue that he was known for his blues  :)

[Goat Boy]

This and Born Under A Bad Sign are my 2 faves.

I just read your post again more carefully...you met Junior Wells?!!  :o

BB King is my favorite. He can play awesome, but he also tells really good stories at his shows.

Here's one I forgot:

Roy Buchanan is special....If you get a chance read "An American Axe". Of course it's about Roy Buchanan....Great read. Fender Telecaster :oWhat tone Not too many people that could create the sounds he did.F.King -Burgular is good but Getting Ready is better. Lots of cats on that album including I believe Leon Russell 8-)

[Chills]

So many artist listed here that I urgently need to check out.

It's a little overwhelming actually.

Oh, and my fav. blues song is Death Letter by Son House, thanks Jack White for introducing me to that one!

Albert King
Junior Wells

that's my number song on my ipod... the white stripes one

[dragonboy]

Nice one Bbill, that's the only John Lee Hooker album I have. I don't have any Bo Diddley, do I need a BD album in my blues collection?

[dragonboy]

So I bought the wrong Freddie King album? Poo!

Pleased to see some love for Roy, you da man RC! Like you said, that tone!!! I truly love this album but it's the only one I have...any more essential Roy Buchanan albums RC?

Do you have Muddy Water's Folk Singer? I highly recommend that one Serg  :)

Lots of love for Buddy Guy here, no surprises there. I saw him live a few years ago...one of the best shows I've ever seen. Truly amazing!!!

Muddy Water's Electric Mud seems to upset a lot of the purists, I love it! Tom Cat baby!!!
