Peetie Wheatstraw-You Can't Stop Me From Drinking

Down in the Hole, by the Rolling Stones, a song by Jagger and Richards, is a great blues tune.

i would love to hear the glimmers play this one live (good taste by the way !)

Currently listening to a 3 CD Set called "The Greatest Blues Of All Time"

BB & Bobby playing right now:




Earlier:
This Little Milton tune may be a bit more Soul than Blues:




Koko Taylor:




Howlin Wolf:




Not on the CDs but Has anyone put forth any Taj Mahal? May not be pre-65 but I love much of his stuff.





Peace,
Mr DJA

Here, I have some of the blues songs that I like. I know there are many, many more. I can't name them all:

Derek & Dominos Key To The Highway
Fleetwood Mac Need Your Love So Bad
Fleetwood Mac I Loved Another Woman
Fleetwood Mac Black Magic Woman
James Elmore Dust My Broom (Blues)
James Elmore It Hurts Me Too
Johnson Robert Sweet Home Chicago
Johnson Robert Crossroads
Johnson Robert Stop Breaking Down
King Albert Born Under A Bad Sign
King Freddie The Stumble (Peter Green did a great version with John Mayall)
King Freddie Someday After Awhile (You'll Be Sorry)
Led Zeppelin Since I've Been Loving You
Mayall John My Time After Awhile
Mayall John The Supernatural
Waters Muddy I'm Your Hoochie Cooche Man
Waters Muddy I'm Ready
Waters Muddy Baby Please Don't Go
Waters Muddy I Want To Be Loved
Wolf Howlin' Sitting On Top Of The World
Wolf Howlin' Built For Comfort
Blind Boy Fuller Pistol Slapper Blues
Curley Weaver She Don't Treat Me Good No More
Blind Blake West Coast Blues (Rag)
Blind Blake Too Tight (Rag)
Big Bill Broonzy Black, Brown And White Blues
Blind Willie McTell Lord, Send Me An Angel

As I said above, there are so many more great blues songs!!

I also enjoy Good Times, Bad Times, written and sung by the Stones. Another one that just popped into my head is Back of My Hand on A Bigger Bang.

I am sort of shocked that so few fans have mentioned the Stones contribution to this music form. I think people automatically think old black musician when they hear the term Greatest Blues Songs. Yes, the Stones have stated they were inspired by Howlin Wolf and the others, but the Stones style is different and not just a copy of what went before them.

All mentioned titles here are great and classics, but one of the best I heard in the last years was Ball and Buiscuit by the White Stripes.

Howlin Wolf:

That album cover is reminiscent of Talk Is Cheap

For me this album by Elmore James is the same as listening to The Cult's ELECTRIC - it's just over the head smashing great.

Thanks for those GasLightStreet. I'd heard about those tunes Jimmy Page stole from Willie Dixon and claimed he wrote but never heard the originals.

I hope Mr. Dixon got the royalties he deserved. peace

I know this is an old story - and Willie Dixon sued for credit on some tunes, such as "The Lemon Song" - but on the first Led Zep album (which I bought in the late 70's when I was a teenager) both "You Shook Me" and "I Can't Quit You Baby" are both credited to Willie Dixon.

Thx Zagalo, good to hear credit was as it should be. I wonder if the original pressing of that record credited Dixon or it was changed when Dixon sued? Did Dixon end up getting royalties and credit for the Lemon Song? I LOVE that tune. JPJ's bass playing is superb (although I know bass lines are not generally an important part of song copyrights) peace

Two more borrows on Led Zep 2:
The Lemon Song aka The Killing Floor was credited to Chester Burnett aka Howlin' Wolf sometime during the 70's (I have a cassette of that vintage!!) but was originally credited to the band.

Whole Lotta Love, according to Wiki:
In 1962, Muddy Waters recorded "You Need Love", written for him by peer Willie Dixon. In 1966 British mod band the Small Faces recorded the song as "You Need Loving" for their eponymous début Decca LP. Some of the lyrics of Led Zeppelin's version were copied from the Willie Dixon song, a favourite of Plant's. Plant's phrasing is particularly similar to that of Steve Marriott's in the Small Faces' version. Similarities with "You Need Love" would lead to a lawsuit against Led Zeppelin in 1985, settled out of court in favour of Dixon.[12] The Small Faces were never sued by Dixon, even though "You Need Loving" still only credits Ronnie Lane and Steve Marriott.

Robert Plant, a huge fan of blues and soul singers, regularly quoted other songs, especially live.

"Page's riff was Page's riff. It was there before anything else. I just thought, 'well, what am I going to sing?' That was it, a nick. Now happily paid for. At the time, there was a lot of conversation about what to do. It was decided that it was so far away in time and influence that...well, you only get caught when you're successful. That's the game."

Blues artists have always 'borrowed' and used licks here and there...sometimes it depends how much is used, I suppose...
Who can truly say where some older songs came from - hence the 'traditional' moniker to many of them...

Too complicated for me - I like listening
Cheers

Great list! Nothing against our English friends at ORR, but I think the Rolling Stones are the only English band who could play blues right.

Your list harkens back to the original Delta blues players. I like the early Chicago blues, a bit later:

She's into Something -- Muddy Waters
Just to Be with You -- Muddy Waters
Mean Old World -- Little Walter
Smokestack Lightning -- Howlin' Wolf
Dust My Broom -- Elmore James
I Love The Life I'm Living -- Slim Harpo
Bring It on Home -- Sonny Boy Williamson II
Everyday I Have the Blues -- Memphis Slim
Boom Boom Boom -- John Lee Hooker
