It’s the weekend again, and I’m singing the blues. Happily singing the blues. It’s such a treat to put these songs and artists together, I have goosebumps on shivers on tiny hairs standing to attention. It’s fabulous! If you don’t like the blues…you should just be quiet, listen anyway and be educated. If you do like the blues but you don’t like my selections…feel free to make suggestions and when I do the blues again – you never know – I might admit my error and let you rub my face in it. I know I’ve missed tons of good stuff, but come on, I only get 7 songs. I also know John Mayer made it in here twice this weekend, but if you don’t like John Mayer this is probably not the blog for you. Jeff Healey made his guitar and me weep. BB King made me giggle…and of course John made me swoon. Before I swoon right out of my seat, here are your 7 Blues for the weekend.
Stevie Ray Vaughan – Tightrope
Jeff Healey – While My Guitar Gently Weeps
John Mayer – Everyday I Have The Blues
Eric Clapton – Crossroads
Melvin Taylor – Tin Pan Alley
Joe Bonamassa – Midnight Blues
BB King & John Mayer live at King of the Blues
Until next week….
enjoyed the mayer/king bit. thanks for sharing!
I loved the BB King/ John Mayer collaboration, two giants playing together. Thanks for commenting…did the chocolate sauce have anything to do with it?
what i like about john mayer is he’s so creative with the guitar. he more than held his own against the great bb king. and i love eric “slow hand” clapton too! excellent choices, kori!
Clapton is a legend. Any way of linking all of these into some kind of uber youtube playlist?
He sure is! I haven’t the foggiest idea of how, but I like the idea!
Mayer and Clapton – greats without doubt. My kind of music!
Joe Bonamassa – not heard this before – Midnight Blues is haunting, like Albatros
Glad you liked it, this is my kind of music too. Somehow the Blues shake mine right off and leave me smiling
John Mayer and BB King – treat!
couldn’t agree more!
These were all great. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you liked them! Thank you for commenting
