Haunted Blues

Blues....There's the mainstream party stuff that college kids go out and dance to at clubs. There's the stuff popularized by Eric Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughn. Then there's the darker stuff. The haunted stuff.

I can picture Skip James sitting out on the porch sometime in the early 1930s, under the Mississippi moon, playing what was to become "Hard Time Killin' Floor Blues".

I can picture Robert Johnson, walkin down a lonely Mississippi road, worrying about the hellhound on his trail.
Spooky stuff.
I'll post a couple of the haunted blues classics, but first I'd like to share with you
"Mr. Blackbird" by The Wormwood Brothers. Very, very eerie...

Went south to talk to Mr. Blackbird
Past the twisted rails
When I talked to Mr. Blackbird
No mojo for sale. No mojo for sale
I've got a terrible feeling on harvest moon
Oh, the night is bleeding.
Mr. Blackbird's comin soon.

Nice post, I love some of the old blues,, Mostly the SRV style..

T Bone walker mentioned he saw himself playing guitar ,, or this guy got the nick ghost of T-Bone Walker..\

Delta and swamp blues sure does seem to have some voodoo in it ,

hes not a ghost yet,,, but still haunting...

my favorite blues musician ever,,, peter green,.,..,

him and danny kirwian play leadish guitar on this song..,.,.

if your not familiar with peter green and like electric guitar,, more specifically blues electric guitar,, more specifically you are an appreciator of the art of the guitar solo...... youtube peter green and you be occupied for at least a few months searching his material and at least a life time listening to it afterwords

more peter green,,, cant resist,,,

I know this is a blasphemous thing to say ( when there are so many equally epic and great songs)

this is my favorite jimi hendrix recording?

This is the most haunting blues ive ever experienced....

Wow! Thanks for the replies. I'm a huge Peter Green fan. His late 60s stuff is incredible.
