Blues peeps.

There are plenty of rock and rollers here. You all dig blues too? Here is a great number to get the conversation started.

Peace to all.

And the list would be a LOT longer if I included all the OPs with blues rock and favorite artists like Rory Gallagher, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Tedeschi/Trucks, Joe Bonamassa, Christone "Kingfish" Ingram, Marcus King and Gary Moore. But I listed blues rockers only when they were doing a blues standard.

3. Btw, re Hound Dog Taylor...

His cover of an Elmore James classic was posted by Harker in a reply in this thread, one on my list above:

Eric Clapton - Elmore James' classic "It Hurts Me Too" (live in 1995) + Elmore James original
https://democraticunderground.com/103476889

Other great covers were posted in other replies there...though as you can see from the list, I put Gov't Mule's cover in a separate OP.

One thing I really, really love about YouTube is all the different covers, especially the live performances.
