Other faves, records I owned starting from teen years:
Sonny Terry-Brownie McGhee: (Hometown Blues---I think? On either Everest or Folkways. It had Meet You in the Morning---'if the boat don't sink and the train don't turn around...'
B.B. King: Live at the Regal
Blues Jam in Chicago
Fathers and Sons
Memphis Slim: Blue Memphis
John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers: A Hard Road; Looking Back; John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers (Clapton w/Beano comic book); Blues From Laurel Canyon
The Story of the Blues
The Best of Little Walter (was said to be rare in the earliest '70s---had Juke, which we went nuts over)
For openers, til I think of more...

the great backstory to avalon blues is they brought him up from avalon mississippi..(his hometown) to record in nyc...avalon blues is his story...couldnt wait to get back home...and actually dissappeared from recording for around 3 decades after that!!
thankfully he was almost as spry and great when they(dick waterman) dug him out for the 60's folk-blues revival...and he got to record again..and influence young players...bonnie raitt sat at his feet!

True confession: after a 'bowl' or 2 I used to 'act out' Flute Thing---dancing around the room. I was 14. When I learned a little bit, sorry, but to me it was pretentious pseudo-jazz drivel. Still is, but at 14 what do you really know? They were heroes then. Maybe if I listened again...
Part of the later (and very recent) resentment is from having read Al Kooper's Backstage Passes and Backstabbing Bastards autobiog. He was so unlikable---cavernous ego, a woman abuser, a self-admitted big hustler with minimal talent. I suppose it made me want to like his music less. I know he scored a lot of wins in the biz. Deserves props for that.
The Blues Project was part of my youth, for sure. But unlike most real deal blues I prefer to leave them there...

Some of my favorite blues recordings. (There are many, many others. These have run through my head today.)

This is hip!

hard to evaluate the person separately from his creative endeavors (woody!).. al kooper.....he was set to play guitar on like a rollin stone..dylan session...in walks mike bloomfield...plugs in and plays a bit..kooper was like- let me outta here!!! i can't even touch the guitar after that...so he sat behind organ..and played away at that..the rest is history!! his career pretty much built off that
I'm not so harsh on koop
and of course blues project was psuedo psuedo...but good reference nevertheless!! haha
