Own up to the truth people.... taste maturity.

Tom Waits - Lie To Me



The Mothers of Invention - Why Don'tcha Do Me Right?

Apologies if this has already been posted, but it is one of my favorites. Very few people in the blues/rock arena play out of the same bleak spiritual landscape as Robert Johnson, but Roy Buchanan was one of them.

The introductory singing portion of this piece makes that point, but the instrumental excursion that follows is an encyclopedia of some of the sickest blues tones you will ever hear in one place and is very much in keeping with the idea of a man on the edge of sanity.

Roy's Bluz (From the album Livestock)

A thread never truly dies.

This is one blues man that is always near to my heart.

I give you Mississippi John Hurt - Nobody cares for me.

That is some proper old school, thanks for that boomorang.
The blues never truly die either, long live the blues

I posted it on page three

100% agree, that solo. Man... that is the blues. The tone, the anguish, the flow. Not enough people know just how damn good Roy is, but he made me want to learn the guitar. An animal on the strings, but the feeling he punched out. Cracking great bluesman.

While perhaps nowhere near as refined in technique (not remotely) as a lot of the entries in this topic (including my own earlier post,) if we're talking "down and dirty" I always have to throw this into the hat. The drummer can't keep time. The tone is grimy as hell. The technique is thrown out the window. But still, there's just something about the rawness of it, and the power of the sound considering it's just two people, that grabs me for whatever reason.



For something a little more pristine, even though it may not qualify as Blues, whenever Clapton covers this Marley song I get goosebumps. Anytime I start to doubt whether he deserves his acclaim as a virtuoso, he pulls something like this out of thin air (that solo later on... damn):






Peace.

Yep, cant go much dirtier than Jack White's sound.
