Can we all agree that Robert Johnson is the best blues artist and so good or blues defining that in a sense he makes all other blues obsolete (like Hank Williams does for country)? Or is this a subject of discussion for some?
I like Muddy, Johnny, Alvin Lee, Canned Heat & The Stones...Robert J & Howlin Wolf even more but
Stone Crazy just trips my trigger. This is the wildest blues I know and it suits me.
The Stones joined Muddy Waters at Buddy's lounge in Chicago back in the 80's on their night off.
What else would the Stones do on their night off in Chicago? Jam with their idol.
...and duh! How could I forget Jimi Hendrix? I named my dog Midnight Lightning FFS.
I could play different videos of Stevie Ray Vaughan playing Voodoo Chile for hours (I have).
This is one of my favorites.
I had posted some decent Wolf footage (Shake For Me) on my FB TL March '16 but YT kilt it.
Here's the story & what's left
"Howlin' Wolf plays guitar along with Hubert Sumlin during an energetic performance from the 1964 American Folk and Blues Festival tour. In 1964 Howlin' Wolf toured Europe as part of the American Folk Blues Festival tour produced by German promoters Horst Lippmann and Fritz Rau. During the tour Wolf's guitarist Hubert Sumlin would make the first recordings under his own name. The following year 'The Wolf' appeared on the television show "Shindig" at the insistence of The Rolling Stones, who were scheduled to appear on the same program and had covered "Little Red Rooster" on an early album."
The deleted Shake For Me video would go here
From that same 1964 American Folk and Blues Festival session
Sunnyland Slim on the keys on the Wolf video? Anyone know for sure?
The second video:
1. It`s You My Baby (Luandrew) 2. Love You Woman (Sumlin) 3. Everytime I Get To Drinking (Luandrew) 4. When I Feel Better (Sumlin) 5. Blues Anytime (Dixion) 6. I Love (Sumlin) 7. Leavy Camp Moan (Luandrew) 8. My Baby (Dixon) 9. Hubert`s Blues (Sumlin) 10. We Gonna Jump (Luandrew) 11. Big Legged Woman (Temple) 12. Too Late For Me To Pray (Luandrew)
