Pull up a chair, sit a spell. It will take more than one visit to explore this multi-media look at The Blues. The focus is on the principal blues instruments: guitar, harmonica, and voice. I hope listeners will find something to enjoy from this personal selection. You might find an old favorite or discover a new one. Over time I will add new selections and expand on themes.

Koko Taylor
Koko Taylor is known as the "Queen of the Blues" primarily for her rough and powerful vocals and traditional blues stylings.
Wang Dang Doogle. Vocals: Koko Taylor, Guitar: Hound Dog Taylor. This is a rare video of Little Walter playing harmonica.
The Blues Music list (below) begins with some background, then turns to current and emerging blues musicians. Deeper into the list, there are some wonderful old videos that capture the heart and soul of the blues from the 1950s and 60s.
