Been going thru bit of a blues phase of l;ate and made my "greatest hits" cd of it.
Here's how it plays out:
No use in crying
See you hell in blind boy (Cooder)
My generation blues (Who)
Yer blues (Beatles)
Ride on (ACDC)
Cold shot (Stevie)
Back door man (Doors)
I can't quit you babe (Zeppelin)
You gotta move
Blind Willy McTell (Dylan)
Since I been loving you (Zeppelin)
Reckon I'd make some money if I was allowed to sell it
ps - incidental father bragging rights at play here.....my seven year old daughter bought a "She's a rainbow" t shirt for Perth in a cpl weeks. Her favourite song was RT, replaced by PIB and now she's driving me out of my skull with "Gimme shelter". I feel like the worst parent ever smiling at my little girl joyously singing along to a song about rape, murder and war. Doesn't seem so long ago my mother balling me out for listening to "Sympathy". How the wheel of life spins.

Because soul is blues. A matter of semantics.

??? Major and minor don't matter anymore? In country blues there are always SOME blue notes...

You missed the point I try to make:
There's the old negro blues like Robert Johnson, the 12 bar and mississippi delta stuff etc, that's what you are referring to.
But blues is also another term for feeling, commonly used in music like Jazz. Coltrane had the blues: he had soul and feeling.
Ain't no use in crying has the blues.

I think if you are talking great blues records, one shouldn't be choosing too much from after 1965. Start with the Smithsonian Blues albums. You will hear the originals and find out where your favourite line or lick from your favourite white band was ripped off from

That's partially true but is anything after 1965 worthy? yes indeed especially Jimi Hendrix
Canned Heat
Albert King
Buddy Guy & Junior Wells

True Slewan. I like blues a little off the beaten track I guess as a rule. Muddy, Howlin' etc are masters don't et me wrong but the list I set down is more my thing.
Dandy "No use in crying" is soul blues to me and I guess ultimately raises the question of what exactly is the blues? Otis doing "I been loving you too long" is considered classic soul but to me it's just as much the blues. No matter what it's called I love it nonetheless.
I think I'd describe it as 'really feeling it mood music', although that could still mean anything
Silver dagger ma man my little one started also w "Yellow submarine" then into "Blackbird", "Penny lane" and so on but I knew she really dug this stuff one day when she was almost 4 and got in the car asking for me to play "She said she said"....
I think a lot of Lennon (Beatles gear) got her thinking. Songs like "Strawberry fields", "Lucy", "Walrus" and a few others caught her attention and she realised although there is catchy stuff to sing along to there's also catchy stuff that can be weird that you want to also sing along to.
Failing that mate build some stairs, lock her under them, feed her bread and water only for a week and play Stones around the clock to her.
She'll break...
ps - I cheated re my cd as I promised only 2 stones songs on it to myself, I broke and added Yayas LIV, "Rambler" and had to add "Stray cat blues" and "Parachute woman"....I'm weak
