is there a pedo gene?

[Avante]

No more looking down and seeing you humping away on my leg, THANK GOD~~~~~~~~~~

You each just have to get the last word, don't you.

Right over there sits 12 big books on them blues, out in my Fortress of Solitude over 6000 blues CDs/tapes/records.

I know the music, there is nobody I haven't heard, nobody.

So with that said, this is in my opnion the 20 greatest blues tunes ever recorded. The 20 I would take with me if all I could take was 20. Not talking about "importance" that is different. While W.C.Handy and Mamie Smith (not really a blues singer) made the first dent (important) their stuff actually sucked.

1. o Central Please Give Me 209...Lightnin' Hopkins.

In my opinion the greatest song ever recorded, period.

2.Crossroad Blues...Robert Johnson.

Lonely dark crossroads somewhere in the south and there stands a lone black man. That is as chillin' as it gets.

3.Rolling Stone....Muddy Waters, here we hear what Mississippi Delta roots sounds like when it meets Chicago. (yep, The Stones got their name from this tune)

4.St.Louis Blues...Bessie Smith, here she teams with the great Louis Armstrong to produce one of the greatest sounds ever recorded.

5.Mississippi Jailhouse Groan...Rube Lacy, this has to be heard to be believed. It does not get anymore haunting than this. And he only recorded one record before turning to the ministry. He would die about 50 miles south of me in Bakersfield. When I heard he was preaching there I was going to go find him, before I did, I heard he'd died.

6.Cairo...Henry Spaulding, a St. Louis barber who also only recorded but one record. This must be on any the Essential, Definitive anthology, amazing sound.

7.Hoodoo Lady...Memphis Minnie, here we have the best tune the best female singer/guitar player in them blues ever recorded. She was a huge infuense on Bonnie Raitt.

8. Crawling Kingsnake...John Lee Hooker, while a cover of the Big Joe Williams classic it's far superior and nobody ever sounded like Hooker, yep, the Doors did a great job on this.

9. Backdoor Man...Howlin' Wolf, this theme is as old as them blues gets, the only thing missing is that old bulldog.

10.The Train That Carried My Girl From Town....Frank Hutchison, this is as good as pale face blues can get. Hutchison an Appalachian coal miner, totally nails it here.

11.Rattlesnake Blues...Charley Patton at his best, he was called "The King of the Mississippi Delta" for a reason. His combination of gruff whiskey vocals (hard to understand) and heavy base string guitar thumping unequalled in the music galaxy. Here we find one of the great lines ever.....she had a heart like railroad steel....whoa~~~

12.Viola Lee Blues..Cannon Jug Band, funny thing is nowhere is Viola Lee mentioned. This is the best example of what Memphis jug band music sounded like, and the classic prison song. The Grateful Dead nail it.

13. Baby Please Don't Go...Big Joe Williams, this has to be one of the most covered of all blues tune, a true classic. Big Joe the classic wandering bluesman with his guitar strapped to his back.

14.James Alley Blues...Rabbit Brown, here we have New Orleans blues at it's finest, it does start here. When Rabbit sings....sometimes I think you're too good to die, other times I think ya ought to be buried alive....chills.

15. Black Snake Moan....Blind Lemon Jefferson, the first male "star" of them blues, and he ain't singing about no snake. Texas prewar blues at it's finest.

16. Dough Roller Blues...Garfield Akers, yet another great who only recorded a couple records. This tune tells the story of what Mississippi blues is suppose to sound like, you can't talk Delta blues without mentioning it.

17. Traveling Riverside Blues...Robert Johnson, anytime you hear...squeeze my lemon, til the juice runs down my leg....it belongs. Led Zeppelin did a nice cover.

18.Dark Road...Floyd Jones, there is no blues where the words..."haunting&eerie"...fits better than it does right here.

19.3 0' Clock Blues...Lowell Fulson, lyrics meet guitar, unforgettable (BB King's first hit was his cover of this classic)

20.Country Blues...Dock Boggs, here will find the best example of old Appalachan hillbillie with banjo in them blues, it starts right here.

This is so damn good it actually hurts.

This is the most obscure blues record in existance, only one copy exists. It would be my number 21.




Black Pattie records as rare as it gets, all are worth big $$$$$$$.

Took some balls, to use BLACK Pattie back in the 20's. Yep, race records.


Black Patti Records was a short-lived (less than a year in 1927) record label.^[1]

Overview[edit]

The label was owned by The Chicago Record Company, which in turn was owned by promoter Mayo ‘Ink’ Williams. The label was named after 19th century African-American singer Matilda Sissieretta Joyner Jones, who was nicknamed The Black Patti after famous opera star Adelina Patti.
Mayo Williams had enjoyed a profitable career as de facto manager of "Race Records" (recordings by African American artists intended for African American customers) for Paramount Records. He decided to go into the record business for himself. He had no equipment, only his Chicago office. The actual recording and pressing of the records was contracted out, mostly to Gennett Records.
Black Patti Records debuted with advertisements in May 1927, with some two dozen discs said to already be available. The repertory included jazz, blues, sermons, spirituals, and vaudeville skits, most (but not quite all) by African American entertainers. A total of 55 different discs were manufactured. Williams found running his own label not as lucrative and easy as he had hoped and closed up operations before the end of 1927.
Perhaps the most famous of the sides recorded for Black Patti are those by Willie Hightower's jazz band.
The Black Patti logo (an art deco pea ) in the late 1960s has been adapted by Nick Perls for his Belzona, later Yazoo label.

I do get a kick reading others trying to talk them blues, doing their best Avante, but as you can see there is a huge difference when you actually know the music.

This is the best example of the word....haunting....in them post war blues. It gets no better than this.

If you were trying to put together a 40 song compilation that best tells the blues story, you'd need....

Piano
Jug Band
Harmonica
Guitar
Female
Hillbillie
Rural
Urban
Male/Female duet

St. Louis, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Georgia, East Coast/Piedmont, Memphis, Chicago.

Themes

Hard times
She up and left me
Whiskey/Cocaine
Train
Prison
Sex
Murder
Suicide

Now which song/artist best fits all that, that's what seperates guys like me from the casual listener.

Suicide





I always have fun on the internet, why so many people are so worried that others might really know something is weird. What is really with that? I was born in 1949, love music, footbal, literature, track, so yes I'm going to know about that stuff, 50 (not too much as a little kid) some years will do that, why people try to battle it.....

On another board recently.

Me....saw Jim Brown play that's how I know that.
Dude...yeah right, bet you Googled that, huh?

Why?

[Avante]

When talking a lone guitarist and primitive we are talking....

Blind Willie Reynolds
BoWeavil Jackson
King Solomon Hill
Sonny Scott
Bo Jones

and a few others.

None however any more primitive than Buddy Boy Hawkins.
