Comment by Duncan Hitchcock on February 22, 2009 at 8:39pm: Spend some time with Billie Holiday.

Comment by David E. Courter on February 22, 2009 at 12:15pm: Just an update on my indoctrination. I still have yet to listen to Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jonny Lang, Robert Johnson, but I found a "best of" set of 60 songs that seems like it gave me a good start at a cross section.

The set includes: Memphis Slim, Cannonball Aderley, Charles Brown, Pee Wee Crayton, Bo Diddley, Dr John, Canned Heat, Rare Earth (hey wait I think I remember listening to some of these guys through bluish smoke (for the record you can't prove I inhaled), Billie Holiday, Lightnin' Hopkins, BB King, Big Maybelle, Ray Charles, John Lee Hooker, Dinah Washington, Roy Brown, Buddy Guy, Junior Wells, Leadbelly, Big Joe Williams, Ike & Tina.

A friend also passed me a 6 disc set from Aligator Records which includes the 20th, 25th, and 30th Aniversary Editions, but no liner notes so I can't tell yet who I am listening to. He also gave me a copy of Aligator Records Christmas Blues - very funny listening! ! !

As far as Robert Johnson and the few at the top that I haven't gotten to yet any specific songs or releases I should look for?

The journey contines! Dave C.
