Interesting read. Have the Stones ever done this song or MJ or KR on any blues tribute albums? The web site is pretty cool to explore.

Cool article, thanks for sharing.

A lot of errors in that article. Especially concerning the Allman Brothers Band.

Great choice, had the honor of watching the brothers perform it at the Beacon a couple of times.


My personal choice is Key to the Highway, I just love that song.

To many to choose and I'm not qualified anyhow. Thanks for the article, dmay.

So these songs are 'traditional' in that they represent the forms of blues,

Picked #1: 1 Robert Johnson (1911 – 1938) – Hellhound On My Trail (One Way Out Again not on list. Allman Brothers only mentioned for having re-recorded "Statesboro Blues")

Picked #1: 1 Hoochie Coochie Man Muddy Waters. (One Way Out again not on list. Allman's have 5 entries on list)


Overall, even though I've been playing the blues for going on 20 years, I'm going to say that latebloomer posted what I think should be my answer: "To many to choose and I'm not qualified anyhow." Great line, latebloomer!

Even as I sit here at my desk and just try to think of "my favorite", I can't hardly do it. I don't even want to think about trying to come up with "The Best"

Well, that was certainly relieving. MJ should copy his style. A bone and a snake would be cool props.
