Just listened to Yellow Led Better by Pear Jam and Tuesday's Gone by Lynyrd Skynyrd ...now listening to Pride and Joy by Stevie Ray Vaughan....all very modern bluesy tracks I'd listen to on a freakin road trip to Austin and Nashville or New York...Chicago or some scenario like that lol
I got to see Taj Mahal perform live at a wedding on Maui. Lahaina actually, and the restaurant burned in the fire. Ain't nobody's business but my own!
I have a page on Instagram called, the_blues_list, which is a playlist of blues songs, and some rock and so forth. I try to introduce each artist and I think it is a great page for someone who may want to know more about the blues to be introduced to a lot of the music, or even someone who has listened for a long time to learn about new artists or enjoy some old stuff or whatever. I have been thinking of putting all my posts here on HF. Maybe I'll start, and I encourage anyone to add to it too. Here's a song from one of the newer artists I posted on:
Im just trying to keep the blues alive... But it is doing just fine, even if I wasn't doing this. There are so many good artists coming up in the blues world. A number of the posts on my page are of Samantha Fish. I posted two songs of hers in the music for a road trip thread. My first post of her on my instagram page, is one of her early songs, which is the song I first knew of her. In fact, as I write in that post, it inspired me to get a cigar box guitar, and the first song I learned to play on it (just as she plays it) was this one: Anyway---in a day or two I'll start up that thread here too and post my posts with music.
I also have a playlist on YouTube with several hundred songs----it includes this video and some of the other videos you posted. Some of these I thought were a little obscure----but if you like the blues, I guess you'll proably come across them!
Me too! And for anyone who does not know, the Cigar Box Guitars only have 3 or 4 strings. A lot of the of the early blues players had no money to buy a guitar, so they made their own with a board and a cigar box. So many of them first played on CGB's. Samantha Fish plays a 4-string, when she plays it, but you can do the same thing she does with a 3 string, which I have---including the extra note or two she fingers to the basic boogie of Shake Em' On Down.
Here is her live, playing her song, Bulletproof, on Cigar Box Guitar. In case anyone thinks, how can you rock out on a poor man's invention...
Yeah! He is fantastic! I have several hour long videos of him which I like to play as a background music to dinner or whatever! I've been wanting to buy one of his guitar creations for quite sometime! I haven't done a post on him yet on my instagram page, but i already have a song picked out, and that is definitely coming in the future. (Time is always a constraint!)
