Big Blues Party

Just went to a blues festival yesterday, and I'm really excited to talk about and listen to one of my favorite genres. Let's throw a blues party and share our favorite blues artists, songs, and albums. Everything blues is welcome here from the newer and accessible to the deeper, older stuff. I'll do my part to keep something on the juke box.

Let's start with a little Lightnin' Hopkins (pictured in my OP):

Now let's go way back to some authentic country blues.

I would recommend Mississippi John Hurt to anyone interested in older acoustic blues or folk music. His finger-picking style and gentle vocals are ever soothing and uniquely his own. Truly one of the greats.

Back to the beginning with Charlie Patton:

John Hurt is GOAT

MJH is awesome, but I don't really know of anyone else like him. Just started listening to Charlie Patton not too long ago. I'm definitely more interested in the old school country blues.
