In honour of the 'Dancing One'.
Post your favourites below.
While rumours are flying about that I am a slave to jazz, I also have a rather extensive blues collection too.....
Rather mainstream, I know but B B King is one of the 'Gods of The Blues' and who could ever deny that 'How Blue Can You Get' is a classic that will never die.....
John Lee Hooker is another of my favourites....'The Grandfather of the Blues' has more than earned his place in the 'Hall of Blues Greats'....and 'Boom Boom' is one of his most popular sounds that reflects a fusion of both blues and rock n roll......
Check out the following:

Sorry Dave, but I set up a separate blues thread in honour of the 'Dancing One'!
Please feel free to merge them into one thread so we can 'feel the blues' together in one location.......... maybe we can also interject a little jazz into this thread too, what do you think??? 😊
