On Hyndford Street

I'd don't think I've ever heard anything quite like it. Best listened to in solitude, you'll want to play it over.

I'm coming to believe you're either a Peter Green fan or you're not. I think this is song is great, but then I have younger friends that want to know what the big deal is. I'm missing something or they are.

For my friend Mark who has the blues in his soul

Keeping that West Side thing going, this is a good album to feel blue to.

This guitarist was in a league by himself and demonstrated it regularly.

yotochan — Sat, 28 Jul 2007 23:04:07 GMT

Since you've been gone I shut my eyes And I fantasize That you're here with me

Will you ever return? I want you satisfied Till you're by my side Don't wait any longer...

Why don't you come back? Please hurry, Why don't you come back? Please hurry... Come back and stay for good this time Come back and stay for good this time

You said goodbye I was trying to hide What I felt inside Until you passed me by

You said you'd return You said that you'd be mine Till the end of time Don't wait any longer!

Why dont you come back?

Please hurry, why don't you come back? Please hurry, Why don't you come back? Please hurry... Come back and stay for good this time Come back and stay for good this time

Since you've been gone... Opened my eyes And I realize What we had together

Will you ever return? I'll have you change your mind If you won't stay mine Just love me forever! love me forever...

Why don't you come back? Please hurry, why don't you come back? Please hurry, why don't you come back? Please hurry, why don't you come back? Please hurry, why don't you come back? Please hurry! Just Come back and stay for good this time Come back and stay for good this time Come back and stay for good this time Come back and stay for good this time

Don't ever leave me...

I have a little agenda. This is a way to play a guitarist I've loved from day one. Blues from Georgia.

Skip vs. Cream

These recordings are about forty years apart and the last was recorded forty years ago roughly. Fascinating.

Sister Rosetta Tharpe

My words could not do justice to this great performer

Son Seals

yotochan — Wed, 25 Jul 2007 03:42:15 GMT

This album was the end of an era. By 1973 the Chicago Blues Scene's gentrification was complete. If you can think of seminal blues work after 1974 let me know.

Lightin' Hopkins

yotochan — Wed, 25 Jul 2007 01:54:00 GMT

A 1967 recording, has become a favorite of mine. I don't know if it qualifies as blues, but it has a sentimental quality about it.

James Cotton

yotochan — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 19:28:34 GMT

Born July 1, 1935

Twelve years with the Muddy Waters Band. Always a good show. This is a song that cooks.

OTIS; My main man

yotochan — Fri, 20 Jul 2007 15:18:03 GMT

If I had to pick one blues artist as a favorite, I'd go with Otis Spann. Based on his charisma more than his body of work. He was over shadowed by Muddy Waters, but complimented him very well.

Mark, this is slow blues

Son Seals II

yotochan — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 10:29:00 GMT

Same thing I said below just another song. I input poorly!

Son Seals

yotochan — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 09:50:30 GMT

1973 release, raw original electric blues. I remember the first time I heard the album, it really sank the hook. A former band member with Earl Hooker in the sixties.

Anybody, Anybody at all !

yotochan — Wed, 18 Jul 2007 16:44:36 GMT

Give it a try, you may have heard it before but I doubt it.

Tired of the blues ? Never !

yotochan — Wed, 18 Jul 2007 16:31:18 GMT

This is a the blues number I play for my wife. I play the radio, the stereo, etc., I wouldn't want you to confuse me with an musician or anyone with a talent for that matter.

She liked it . . .

Hawk Squat

yotochan — Sun, 15 Jul 2007 03:49:04 GMT

This is one of the best Blues titles I've acquired in awhile. J. B. Hutto was a significant artist in Chicago and latter in the Boston area. Turner's Blue Lounge at 39th and Indiana was his stage for several years. Here's a number you would have heard at Turner's in the mid-sixties.

Count Basie and Lee Marvin

yotochan — Wed, 11 Jul 2007 15:12:27 GMT

What do they have in common?

M-Squad ! Like some of the best blues, it was made in Chicago from 1957 to 1960.

Lee Marvin

Great sound, I own most of his releases

yotochan — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 20:18:15 GMT

Versatile and incredibly talented.

The King

yotochan — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 19:34:52 GMT

This number is not mentioned as much as others with respect to Elmore James but I enjoy it just as much.

Let me introduce to the mog, JB Hutto

yotochan — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 18:51:45 GMT

A disciple of Elmore James, this is raw electric Chicago blues. "I love it".

Late sixties

In the Court of the Crimson King

yotochan — Sun, 08 Jul 2007 09:08:30 GMT

Since I'm in the mood. It might as well be my theme song, I talk to the Wind.

Ouch, is there a comparison?

yotochan — Sun, 08 Jul 2007 08:37:46 GMT

This a live version from a true original power band from the early 70's.

John Lee Hooker

yotochan — Thu, 05 Jul 2007 00:24:15 GMT

This video is the best I've seen from this mid sixties period. As Jerri Blank would say, Hobo . . . . Hobo Camp! It's Hobo Blues.

Junior Wells

yotochan — Wed, 04 Jul 2007 18:23:09 GMT

For all you junior wells fans, here's one more. If you listen close you can hear Willie Dixon singing with him. 1958 PROFILE Label Little By Little

Amos Blackmore aka Junior Wells

yotochan — Wed, 04 Jul 2007 05:51:22 GMT

Hit Chicago at twelve years old and never looked back. By eighteen he was playing in the Muddy Waters Band. His album Hoodoo Man Blues is considered the first blues album recorded as such, not a collection of singles as was the practice beforehand.

Blah, blah, blah, (my opinion) make up your own mind. Add Buddy Guy at his best.

First played in 1937 !

yotochan — Mon, 02 Jul 2007 07:34:44 GMT

This is what she is singing in a medieval Latin;

"opposite courses hang in the balance of my wavering mind: Wanton love and chastity. But I choose what I see and bend my neck to the yoke - to the sweet yoke I submit."

My vote for best rock voice . . . . . . . .

yotochan — Sun, 01 Jul 2007 03:25:32 GMT

would be Steve Marriott He was in his prime on this album. An amazing natural boogie rock voice. Everyone under fifty can go back to sleep now.

yotochan — Sat, 23 Jun 2007 21:01:25 GMT

Slim Harpo is so good he doesn't have a bad cut, makes it hard to choose.

How about some Hammond B3

yotochan — Sat, 23 Jun 2007 17:43:15 GMT

Another Chicago guitarist

yotochan — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 16:51:20 GMT

Played with Canned heat, beat out by Ron Wood as the replacement guitarist for the Rolling Stones. Played Fusion before the term existed and whose style was termed psychodelic when he first started to receive national recognition in the late sixties.

Big Bill Broonzy

yotochan — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 16:05:16 GMT

Recorded 260 songs wrote upwards of 300. Multi-talented artist who's impact on the Chicago blues scene is unmeasurable. Big Bill was as well liked as he was talented and many a young musician was helped by this giant whose music is "absolutely basic to the blues experience". This selection was recorded in March of 1932. Just Bill and his guitar.

Late 1950's

Denver Blues

yotochan — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 06:33:34 GMT

Recorded March 23, 1934 Chicago Solo performance, he really is good, this would be good any time any where."What is truly amazing is that while he was was one of Chicago's earliest blues stars, he is very little remembered today. Still, considering the importance of the Blues to all forms of Jazz and Pop, he certainly should be placed among the most important Pop music musicians of the twentieth century. Even more interesting, Tampa Red was also one of the most prolific Blues composers, writing such Blues standards as "Sweet Black Angel", "Love Her With A Feeling", "Don't You Lie To Me", and "It Hurts Me Too" (covered respectively by B.B. King, Freddy King, Fats Domino and Elmore James among others). He was perhaps the most influential of all the early 20th century Blues guitarists."

"The Guitar Wizard"

yotochan — Thu, 21 Jun 2007 17:59:00 GMT

Tampa Red Pre-war Chicago blues icon. King of the Bottleneck blues and master of the steel bodied National guitar.

yotochan — Wed, 20 Jun 2007 04:50:09 GMT

This album was memorable for its artwork, but the music is the real gem. Kim Simmonds is the quintessential stylist in this blues rock monster.

Spike can you hear the elephant?

yotochan — Fri, 15 Jun 2007 16:23:47 GMT

This is my favorite cut on the album and it's for the back up guitarist.

Now who could be more significant to slide guitar, and don't say Robert Johnson.

This cut is about 80 years old. Lonnie was a huge influence and electric guitar owes much of the direction of it's development to him.

A legend

yotochan — Tue, 29 May 2007 15:56:28 GMT

His sound put the hook in me 30 some years ago and I haven't been able to shake it since. He always appealed to me in ways that Clapton never did. Now I can send the rest of my life figuring out what those ways are.

Chicago Icon

yotochan — Sat, 28 Apr 2007 12:05:10 GMT

Muddy's man on piano, pretty much say's it all. A soft spoken man that followed Big Maceo in the Chicago Style. This was recorded in 1960 before Muddy Waters moved to the suburbs a few blocks from me.

This photograph is of the rehearsal studio in the basement of Muddy Waters first house on the southside of Chicago. Otis was a painfully shy man with great talent and my favorite band member. Otis Spann, Willie Dixon, Little Walter, Junior Wells, Otis Rush, Fred Below, Buddy Guy ...and the man that put the big beat to the blues, Muddy Waters. Quite an experience for a no talent white kid.
