Aucostic Blues

Can someone recommend me some aucostic blues to check out? I'd appreciate it.

 

Leadbelly (Huddie Ledbetter) is my favorite... been listening to him a lot lately.

Orsino2 should be able to help you more.

 

Leadbelly goodnight irene ,robert johnson crossroads,anything with keith richards playing acoustic

 

uh... if youre gonna play em, then you can do standards... like little red rooster or crossroads... if your gonna kisten to it, then i dont know

 

I've been learning the standards from leadbelly... he's great to learn from.

 

Yeah, mostly 12 string stuff... I've developed a Keller Williams and Justin King rhythm when playing my Guild.

Anyway... I've listed stuff so many times before if you do a search for blues in this forum. Blind Lemon Jefferson, Mississippi John Hurt, Robert Johnson, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Buddy Guy, Clapton, Hubert Sumlin... etc. If you want some more contemporary sounding stuff, Keb Mo. Stevie Ray Vaughan has some great acoustic 12 string tracks from the MTV Unplugged concert. John Hiatt, John Fogerty, etc. for more folkish oriented stuff. Bob Dylan, of course, has some great folk-blues songs. I've recorded a lot of acoustic blues myself. I like the fingerstyle stuff like Mississippi John Hurt. Also, a friend of mine from Atlanta.... http://littlebrother.nlpd.com/
