I'm looking to buy a Blue cd for a relative in living in Vietnam. I've no experience in blue what so ever. Could anyone please give advise on a must have Blue Cd.
If you want the true original, it has to be Robert Johnson. Great later recordings are "The Rainmaker" by John Lee Hooker and "I got What It Takes" by Koko Taylor.
Alligator Records 20th anniversary double CD would be my recommendation. Lots of artists and different styles would let any newbie decide what they really like.
Im a Clapton fan most Eric Clapton cd's are good. Muddy Watters, Robert Johnson, Jack Johnson, Keb Mo. If you want something a little crazy go with Buddy Guy the guy is old as the moon and crazy as a loon. But the question is what type of blues does the person like? Do they like delta blues or chi town blues? The blues brothers sound track could be a good start.
In addition to the other great blues artists from above.
Etta James Buddy Guy The real deal live the master of the telecaster Little Milton BB King Howlin Wolf Muddy Waters John Mayall & Eric Clapton John Lee Hooker Lightnin' Hopkins Mojo Hand Bobby "Blue" Bland Albert Collins Robert Cray Johnny Copland Luther Allison Lucky Peterson
