There's maybe a little southern vibe on this rendition too

post sumthin?

This has always been one of my favorite recordings from the British blues-rock era. In the first two minutes, you hear Howlin' Wolf explaining the riff to Eric Clapton.



The London Howlin' Wolf Sessions is one of my all time favorite albums.

Just curious....Is there something wrong with their facial muscles?

I thought maybe he was having an epileptic seizure or even some sort of sexual episode.
Wife and I have been to lots of blues venues when we lived in Louisiana and I never saw any of them go into that kind of thing.
He might need to go see the voodoo lady down in Jefferson.

Dani Wilde, Samantha Fish and that little girl from Texas all go through some pretty wild contortions when they sing.







But nobody will ever come close to Joe Cocker.

Ive also seen alot of guitarists mouth the note sounds with their faces.

Thanks for the post. Music always makes me happy. Haven't been a lot of happiness out there lately. Robin Trower had some crazy faces, lol.

Marty Schwartz has a lot of really good instructional video for a wide selection of songs and a broad range of skill levels.

I went to a Moody Blues concert in Baltimore, back in the 80s sometime. There was this band opening for them, Stevie Ray Vaughn was the lead guy. I had heard of him, wasn't really a fan at the time. OMG, What an opening band! What in the hell was I watching? Why was HE opening for an older-past their prime band! I was blown away. Awesome! When Stevie left, so did most of the crowd. I was soooo behind the wave on that one.
I got a little older and began to appreciate really good blues after that. So glad I saw him then.

Couple bands I was into back after SRV moved on were Bloodline (check out their line up, you might have heard of all of those guys or their relatives) and Cry of Love. Highway Jones by Cry of Love is up tempo. The guitar tone is sonically scorching but perfect. Their hit was not up tempo but it's good. Peace Pipe.

Today I bought a Fender Squier Vista Series made in Japan JAGMASTER.

Savoy Brown - 1967:

Stevie was what first turned me towards blues as well.

One of those songs that has to be played LOUD!
