love this one

eta: Thanks to Vito, this thread is on GC. Thanks Vito.

I love you Jimi!  
Oh, and there's like a million versions of "Hear my Train comin'", but this by far is the best one. Jimi, freaking ROCKS!

CG I love you for starting this thread. I love the blues with a passion. Buddy Guy is incredible (I SAW HIM LIVE!!!!!!  ), but then again are the Three Kings, EC, Muddy Waters etc. 2 really good ones that aren't well known are Robert Cray http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gQEDwjhaDE and Susan Tedeschi. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDPNCMD89gk
ETA: Gold star if you can name the 3 Kings without using Google. Also considering the title of this thread, Damn Right I've Got the Blues

And yes, I love the blues, too.

I wish I could. I'm so much of a Hendrix fan, that I would have to google the others. I started this thread, because I wanted to hear others I haven't heard before. So far so good.

btw: who are they? I know BB King is one.

The 3 Kings of the Blues are BB, Albert and Freddie. Albert King actually was the person who first recorded and made famous Born Under a bad Sign. It was also covered very well by Cream.

My God, both versions are awesome, but Albert King's tops them all. And I thought Jimi was good, but Albert King is better. I can't remember who Jimi was influenced by. I think it was BB King, but I'm not sure. I've never been to a blues concert, but I would love to go.

That's it! Yep! Muddy Waters! I remember reading about him and how he was Jimi's influence. Wow, you really know your history.

Co-sign on lots of these, including BB King, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Muddy Waters and Miles Davis.
But how has this thread gone for 14 posts without any mention of Etta James ?? !!
