The Blues

[Tinker Grey]

Here's one by Paul Pena (above) with Tuvan throat singing to boot:

 

[Dave-W]

 

[Chesterton]

 

[Dave-W]

My son considers this blues. I always thought of it as acid rock. (because of the history of the band). I guess you can decide for yourself.

Mike Pinera and Larry Rhinehart were both 2 seasoned blues guitarists and you can hear the Allman bro influence (Rhino lived with Dickey Betts for a while) They were both hired to replace Erick Braunn who left the band in '69 right after their live album was recorded. Pinera wrote this to be his own "Inna Gadda Vida."

I would certainly say "blues influenced" -- in the vein of an earlier post about "you know it when you hear it."

For me, that rolling beat make it at least blues-ish.

Cool sound.

I think someone posted another song from the same album on page 1.

That is certainly an album worth adding to one's blues collection.

 

[Chesterton]

Some might know this song better as "The Under Assistant West Coast Promotion Man" by the Stones. Great catchy harmonica riff, I almost don't blame 'em for stealing it, lol.

 

[Chesterton]

I wonder, if we'd had free universal health care in the early 20th century, would all these guys have received treatment for their depressed mental state and we'd never have had the blues?

Even with so-so sound quality, Jimi get's a great blues feel on this,

Yeah. Not great sound quality, but it be nice to find a studio recording of that.

I have this album:

I hadn't heard of these guys. I may have to hunt them down.

 

[Tinker Grey]

I don't know if I'd classify this as blues, but I heard it first on an album called "Blowing the Blues"

Great harmonica work:
