3 Songs Everybody Should Know About }

I have actually played in 2 rock and blues bands - Blue Dynamos and Smokin' Joe and the Wolves

. We have actually covered a great deal of blues tracks and I have written a few of my very own. The question is; which are the 3 finest typical blues songs of all time? Here is my listing.

I suggest that the top 3 are:.

Hellhound on My Trail.

Robert Johnson is considered by some to be the best bluesman of perpetuity. It is difficult to pick which of his tracks is the very best as there are many wonderful ones. It is stated that Johnson "offered his soul to the devil" for the capacity to play the blues. This track is representative of his life as Johnson never permanently settled down and is rumored to have actually been poisoned to death by an envious juke joint owner. Robert had a routine of consuming alcohol and selecting a female customer and looking at her throughout his performances. In this case, the lady was the wife of bench owner and he was pouring the drinks. A bad match for Robert! This track was the first track on Robert's second and last recording session and was released as a solitary. Eric Clapton has actually taken a trip to the areas of borh of Johnson's recording sessions and has actually attempted to duplicate his sound. It proved impossible but the 2 Cd's and the DVD that caused by these sessions are worth the rate of acquisition for any fan of the blues.

I'm a King Bee.

Composed by Slim Harpo and released in 1957, this tune consists of all of the elements of the type of blues discovered in many negro clubs in America. That style of blues was highly suggestive and this tune is loaded with double entendre. Recorded by many professionals including the Rolling Stones on their 1964 debut cd, the tune is probably Slim's best and most acknowledged recording. Slim received a Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 2008.

Midnight Special.

Huddie Ledbetter aka "Lead Belly" was pronounced guilty of carrying a pistol for his first offense, of murder for his 2nd offense - was pardoned by the Governor - and for attempted murder for stabbing a guy in a fight as a 3rd offense. Although both a folk singer and a bluesman, this tune is among his most remarkable and certainly resonates with aspects of Leadbelly's vibrant life. This song was truly shaken up by the American band Credence Clearwater Revival and presented to an entire brand-new audience, many of whom had never become aware of Leadbelly. Had it not been for folklorists John Lomax and his son Alan, Huddie would most certainly have continued to be in prison for the rest of his life. The author is unidentified and is likely to have been discovered by Leadbelly throughout his time in prison. It has been recorded by various bluesmen, according to rene fiereg
