Blues instrumentals?

I enjoy BB King, and others, primarily because of the bass and guitar. I could do without the vocals.

Anyone have recommendations regarding "instrumental only" blues, or even bluegrass?

I enjoy full-spectrum sound with hard-hitting bass and sharp-edged guitar. Either vinyl or CD would be fine.

TIA, Barrie

Your post conjures two of my favorite songs by Jeff Beck:

1. "'Cause We've Ended as Lovers" off of "Blow by Blow"
2. "Brush with the Blues" off of "Who Else"

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

Robin Ford? NAW! He's a WEENIE!! Check in w/ Jimmy Thackery's "Guitar"--that's the blues instumental album. Or, you can just about listen to any version of "Paker's Mood," and you'll get the idea . . .
