Damn, you just reminded me...

Jerry Reed - The Unbelievable Guitar and Voice of Jerry Reed

Jerry Reed may be my absolute favorite guitarist/singer ever from any genre. I'm kinda ashamed I forgot that on my first list.

Jerry Reed was an incredible Guitar Player.
Also keep in mind Roy Orbison played a lot of Rockabilly blues guitar on a Black Beauty and Goldtop.
Roy Orbison - At The Rock House is quite nice.

I wonder if Elvis was talking about the hundred greatest tits he ever held, or his own as he got fatter? 😉

I love all the blues Kings. BB. Freddy. Albert.

And all the old guys like Muddy. Howlin' Wolf. Robert Johnson. Lightnin' Hopkins.

Love Jimi. Zep. Yardbirds.

Love ZZ Top and Stevie Ray Vaughn.

And other stuff like Koss and Sean Costello.

I 'specially love grunge.

Soundgarden on top of all. Alice in Chains. Pearl Jam.

Motorhead. Sabbath. Iggy Pop. Bowie.

And some country stuff too.

I just like to be liking good music.

But my favorite by far doesn't belong in any thang I just mentioned.

And I've listened to it more than any other record.

This was performed live on the spot in Austin Texas.

This kind of talent and entertainment with only a few exceptions...doesn't exist anymore.

Thanks Frank.


So what you got?

LOL, considering what I said in my last post I'm not adding The Real Folk Blues by Sonny Boy Williamson to my list though it definitely deserves to be on it, but it definitely belongs right up there with the albums of the great blues artists you named.
