A very #strong candidate for #father of #rockandroll: Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup. A significant influence on #elvis, his songs were also covered by #rodstewart and #eltonjohn. His resting place is in #virginia, another #famous bluesman from #mississippi

#oldschoolcool. John Lee Hooker got a job at #ford in #detroit in the #1940s. His #blues #music career took off from there. And don't forget his #performance on the #street in the Blues Brothers #movie. Director's cut has the full #song.

The incomparable guitar player from #lettsworth #louisiana Buddy Guy pays tribute to the Mississippi Hill County Blues style. #album title is, well, "Blues Singer". Covers of Junior Kimbrough, T-Model Ford and others. One of my favorites! #blues #music #bluesmusic #nowspinning #vinyl #vinylcommunity

One of my favorite lesser known albums. Great for decompressing after a day or for a #roadtrip About as stripped down and raw as it gets. From #mississippi, Charles Caldwell's only album, titled Remember Me.

Sometimes you have to go back to the beginning. Mississippi Hill Country Blues great Junior Kimbrough's first album. If you like the album check out Cedric Burnside!

Coffee and Big Mama Thornton on the player this morning. Chicago blues at its finest, try her tune Ball and Chain. Also she did the original version of Hound Dog (not a knock at Elvis). Spent a lot of time playing in Houston #houston #blues #music #bluesmusic #vinyl #nowspinning
