you are right in my wheelhouse here i have pretty much all those on cd, love bb king, JLH, buddy guys 90s output, great to see kenny wayne, jonny lang, colin james have pretty much everything by them, gaty moores 90s blues albums are killer, SRV and jimmie wow, worth checking i think is michael katon awesome blues rock, rocky hill ( brother of dusty hill ), have most of the fabulous thunderbirds, but check out the guitarist who replaced jimmie vaughan kid ramos his solo output is so good, jeff healey so cool, chris i want to go on for ever but would bore you to tears ive only scratched the surface of the top of my head, i have around 200 from this period, love the blues, cheers chris
Thanks for another great list, Chris. Love to hear those choices which brought back some super memories! When I first heard Nine Below Zero at The Marquee, my first impression was that Mark Feltham's harmonica playing was just as good as having an extra lead guitar player alongside the awesome Dennis Greaves. The solo on "Riding on the L&N" steals the show for me. Their 1st studio album "Don't Point Your Finger" is another blinding album!
Have to agree about Stevie Ray Chris, just the best. I had tickets for the tour (front row Hammersmith Odeon) that was due to happen a few weeks after his helicopter crash. My mate and I never did get our ticket money refunded. It would have been amazing to see him play live. His solo on Bowie's Let's Dance is the best thing about the record.
Another tremendous video Chris some brilliant choices here the BLACK CROWES album you feature is one of my favorite albums of all time absolutely played it to death back in the day definitely need to check out some of these artists that I have vaguely heard of but not listened to very much Roy Buchanan especially thank you so much for doing these videos they are such a joy 👍
Hi Chris, I've known you all these years and I had no idea you were so into the Blues! 🙂 I've gotta be honest and say I didn't know too many of those albums (or even artists tbh) in your list but there were certainly some that I could relate to. I absolutely love 'Still Got The Blues' by Gary Moore. The album is brilliant and I never tire of hearing the Title Track. That album was his conversion from Rock to Blues and he went on to do many more Blues albums after this. The follow-up 'After Hours' was also really good. He did a number of collaborations with the likes of BB King and Albert Collins, so he was obviously doing something right! He could do no wrong in my eyes I love all his rock stuff too. Interesting you mentioned the Jeff Healey Band I learned to appreciate them when we moved to the States. His cover of While My Guitar Gently Weeps is excellent. Someone else who I didn't know much about until we lived in Texas was Stevie Ray Vaughn. Used to be played all the time on the radio so got to know and some of his stuff. I gotta say though I always wanted to rewrite the chorus to Pride and Joy. The repetition of the adjective 'little' used to drive me crazy 🤪. I certainly appreciate some of the Black Crowes stuff too though I'd have to agree that it's more rock than Blues! Anyway great seeing you again my friend. Keep up the Good Work !!
Hi Gaz. Hope all is well. Love the blues. Especially late 60s and early 70s. Will post something soon on British blues rock. Love Gary Moore. Seen him a few times and have lots of his albums. If you like JHB version of While my Guitar… listen to Peter Framptons. Brilliant. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment. It would be great to catch up again soon as we have lots to talk about and share!! Love to Donna, Chris
Another top quality vid Chris….can’t believe you mentioned Colin James!! nobody I know ever heard of him…he had a decent 45 out in late 80’s “ I just came back to say goodbye “ is worth a listen,oh yeah blues band debut….top pick there mate👍👍
Some very interesting choices Chris! Joe Bonamassa being a modern favourite of mine! Rory Gallagher! Rochford remember him? John Lee Hooker! Oh yes! Blues band fantastic! From the 90's onwards blues is more of a rare beast and you do have to scour round! Gary Moore was a legend!
How do you miss this sh!t? Stevie got into a helicopter on a foggy night in East Troy, WI. Alpine valley music theatre. Clapton opted out of the whirlybird at the last minute. It hit the hill.
I read years ago that Kenny Wayne Shepherd's father took him to a Stevie Ray Vaughan concert when he was very young and he later met him when he was still just a kid and it inspired his interest in guitar. I've been a fan of Roy Buchanan since I heard his first album. I think his best is probably the Live Stock album. Although I quite like his vocals he didn't have a great voice and he may have been more popular if he did. I think Rory Gallagher is one of the greatest, underappreciated performers. His playing was consistently excellent and he had a good voice too. Interestingly, I have read that both Buchanan and Gallagher were in the frame to join the Rolling Stones after Mick Taylor left. I'm not sure if Buchanan's story has been verified by anyone else but Gallagher apparently went to somewhere in France to audition. According to Rory's brother, Mick wanted him to join but Keith was 'over-medicated' and was nowhere to be seen, so Gallagher just went back home. I doubt that either of them would have been a good fit with the Rolling Stones.
Hi Chris, I missed this one. Some really good albums, but I think out of the lot 9 below zero is my favourite. Virtually everything by The Blues Band is fantastic, and John Lee Hooker's early stuff is brilliant. Cheers!
I don't have a lot of blues albums in my collection, what do i have tends to be compilations but I love that Gary Moore LP & I was hoping you'd mention it, just about everyone i know had that Blues Band album. Not just one copy either, LP for home & a cassette for the car, must be the best sellier on the Fame label Woolies ever had 😂 Cheers Chris 🍻
One band that I'm a massive fan of is climax blues band and flying the flag from 1980 is a decent album and Rory Gallagher made some good ones in the 80s as well jinx is probably my favorite of his 80s works
Dood! I bought this when it came out. In Chicago it was played on WXRT. How could you not talk about his playing style? He is blind. Nobody showed him how to hold the guitar. That album is amazing. Authentic.
Hi Chris, I know the Alligator label very well and have a bunch of them in my collection - CD only, my best being Buddy Guy - Stone Crazy and the Albert Collins catalogue, he being the late master of the telecaster. However, I'm not a big fan of anything 80's, I just didn't like the recording techniques, the drum sound and the electronics of that era, anyway it's pretty subjective. However, from a guitar point of view, consider adding some Johnny Winter / John Mayall / Savoy Brown / Eric Burdon .....but the best blues was circa 1940's -1970's IMO.
I know exactly what you mean by the sound. I like these albums but nothing like I like the 70/60s blues stuff. I did include Johnny Winter but only have 60/70s Mayal and Savoy. The 80s generally was dodgy. Nothing touches the 70s for me. Not even close. Cheers, Chris
We are out of cinq again. Even your dares are not to my taste. I prefer sixties/seventies stuff There is Fleetwood Mac, Chicken shack. stray early Tull, Taste, broughtons, Free, Groundhogs, I just think black Americans cant play the blues. Like Jazz its music by numbers.
I easily prefer 60/70s. I will share 70s stuff at some point I’m sure. I have Chicken Shack, Gallagher, Stray, Free, Groundhogs, TYA and the like to share. 80/90s we’re far too clean although not many have played better than SRV. The Three Kings, Hendrix, Collins et all can all play the blues though. Cheers, Chris

None of this would very bore me Stephen. Love all this stuff. Cheers, Chris

Love Don’t Point Your Finger is fab. Three times enough is a joy. Great band. Cheers Anthony, Chris

@@marklancaster6558 the man was a genius tbh
Rory Gallagher and Gary Moore my picks excellent collection again.
Both were something else
Muddy loved Johnny. Called him “Johnny Cockeroo.” Sung out in a live “I’m a Man.”
Proper good player although slide is never my favourite sound
Another tremendous video Chris some brilliant choices here the BLACK CROWES album you feature is one of my favorite albums of all time absolutely played it to death back in the day definitely need to check out some of these artists that I have vaguely heard of but not listened to very much Roy Buchanan especially thank you so much for doing these videos they are such a joy 👍
Thanks so much Steve. Roy B first three albums are his best I think. Cheers, Chris

Stood ten feet from him in a club in Chicago. Maybe 1990.
Who?
That Johnny Lang album is a killer, especially “Rack ‘em Up.”
@@DodgeDartSongs great album and so young
Another top quality vid Chris….can’t believe you mentioned Colin James!! nobody I know ever heard of him…he had a decent 45 out in late 80’s “ I just came back to say goodbye “ is worth a listen,oh yeah blues band debut….top pick there mate👍👍

60s and 70s much better. Joe Bonamassa is very good for sure. Saw him live over 10 years ago now. Excellent. Gary Moore was superb
cheers Ian, Chris
How do you miss this sh!t? Stevie got into a helicopter on a foggy night in East Troy, WI. Alpine valley music theatre. Clapton opted out of the whirlybird at the last minute. It hit the hill.
Kind of knew that. He was an unknown here in the U.K. and at the time it passed me by. Cheers, Chris

Gallagher too good for stones. Need to get Live Stock. Have about 5 by Rob but not that one. Cheers, Chris
Hi Chris, I missed this one. Some really good albums, but I think out of the lot 9 below zero is my favourite. Virtually everything by The Blues Band is fantastic, and John Lee Hooker's early stuff is brilliant. Cheers!
Thanks for making the time to watch Steve. British blues is tremendous

Blues band are just great fun. Cheers Stephen, Chris
I've seen Roy Buchanan albums about the place but have never taken the plunge. Great selection Chris, many unknown to me.
I really like 'There is Always One More Time' by BB King from 1990 though it's definitely got that smooth production.
First three are the best. Underrated guitarist
Will seek it out. Cheers James
One band that I'm a massive fan of is climax blues band and flying the flag from 1980 is a decent album and Rory Gallagher made some good ones in the 80s as well jinx is probably my favorite of his 80s works
RG only had a few 80/90s LPs. Decent stuff though. Sensational player
Not got much in this genre, but my Rory Gallagher live album has been played to death....Bullfrog Blues is sensational
Bullfrog Blues from Notes from San Francisco is absolutely sensational
Dood! I bought this when it came out. In Chicago it was played on WXRT. How could you not talk about his playing style? He is blind. Nobody showed him how to hold the guitar. That album is amazing. Authentic.
It’s very good
Interesting choices-did you consider Neil Young 'This Notes for You' at all?
No as I don’t have it or know it in fact. Will investigate. Cheers sir, Chris

So the Osmonds are your favourite band and pretending it is Deep Purple is just a Roundabout way of admitting it.
We are out of cinq again. Even your dares are not to my taste. I prefer sixties/seventies stuff There is Fleetwood Mac, Chicken shack. stray early Tull, Taste, broughtons, Free, Groundhogs, I just think black Americans cant play the blues. Like Jazz its music by numbers.
