Blues instrumentals?

If you like the blues, give a listen to Robbin Ford.

Crazyblues- I have checked in with Mr.Thackery. Funny
how he's never risen much above bar band status.

Suggest you check out Robbin's "Weenie" music at:

Personally, I don't think guitar players define the blues.
I prefer the great blues piano players like Professor Longhair, James Booker, Dr John, Pinetop Perkins, Johnnie Johnson,Thelonious Monk,Jay Mcshann,Gene Harris, etc...

I do agreed that most underpowered rack style systems sound better on guitar based bands.

Crazy4blues- the "bar-band status" comment about Thackery wasn't a negative, just surprised that with all his recordings he's not better known.

I love the raw power of a good bar band, but it's hard to capture that energy on a recording. It's hard to mic an amplified instrument like guitar or a B3 organ(have you notice the renewed interest in the B3?) to get the same sound you hear in a club.

I agree, great players define the blues, not the instrument.
