Emergency music fix- electric blues

drb · June 20, 2008, 9:42pm

Taking a road trip with the fambly tomorrow and need an antidote to D’s alt-rock. Figured I’d slap together an electric blues playlist - e.g. Ronnie Earle, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Robert Cray, Susan Tedeschi, Clapton (of course). Any other recs?

Off the top of my head: B.B. King, Albert King, Albert Collins, Buddy Guy, Roy Buchanon, Susan T.'s husband Derek Trucks, RL Burnside, Elmore James, Jimmy Reed, Lightning Hopkins, John Lee Hooker, and, of course Jimi Hendrix.

Locals Jeff Fielder & Kristen Ward ( seperate acts), play acoustic blues- oh but they would be alt/rock too.

Humble Pie? 10 Years After? Climax Blue Band? EK, you are dating yourself. Good choices, tho. The guitar riff on “Love to change the world” is a classic.
