+1 on RL and definitely wish I was in heaven sittin down is a great tune. One of my favorite blues players without a doubt.

Kenny Brown and Cedric Burnside deserve some cred in this clip too.

Nofi, you have been the king of this thread

. I love all the old school stuff and I had completely forgotten about Blue Cheer.
All I could remember about them was the ear bleeding volume that they played at. They actually did some pretty good stuff.
They were without a doubt the loudest band I ever heard. They made the Who sound like a coffee house gig.

Okay, you asked for it. Well, no, you didn't.

This came out when I was in high school. I remember thinking, this is Dion?

It showed that he could do more than pop and doo wop.

i guess we will have to call him "mudcat dimucci " from now on.

Dion was a surprise...

Something I found on a CD I got for Jackie for this Xmas past...

Yeah~ I don't have a Gibson anymore either. :cryingsmiley

I started this thread cuz it was a BLUE Christmas for me this year.

I'd like to see more White Man's Blues on this thread but whatever...
As Bonzo Dog Band said:
"Can Blue Men Sing The Whites?"

While this isn't a straight blues song, it's a very bluesy number from an unlikely band

Thanks for this piece. I was not familiar with this period of Dion at all.
Bobby Darin did a thing in the late 60s too. He traded in his tuxedo for a Levi jacket and got down and dirty for an album. I remember there was a cut or two that were pretty good.

Here's another guy you don't associate with blues. Short but sweet. I remember hearing that Jones was the surprise of the PBS Blues series.

And...I could learn to tolerate John Lee Hooker this way...
