Your favorite blues album?

"Strike a Deep Chord", sub-titled "Blues For The Homeless". This is a CD by various artists. It came out several years ago and proceeds from its sales were to go to the homeless. I don't know if it's still available, but is sure worth looking for-- there is incredible emotion and understanding of the homeless on this album.

I also really like Buddy Guy's "Damn Right I've Got the Blues", his other music, and anything by Koko Taylor. Cheers. Craig

a couple more to add to the list: taj mahal, "an evening of acoustic music"; lucinda williams, "car wheels on a gravel road." -kelly

Doug McLeod. "Come to Find."

Here's perhaps a quirky favorite: Robert Lucas, "Using Man Blues" on Audioquest -- engineered by Kavi Alexander. The LP is superb, but it will quickly reveal a system that is not "all together". On a system that gets the music right, this recording will sound superb. On systems that don't do the "PRAT" thing well, this recording will sound terrible. For me, its a quick way to tell 'em apart.

Rushton is right on about Robert Lucas. His "Locomotive" CD has fantastic slide guitar. Certainly one of my favorites. Craig
