Yes! I know that I have posted this before. But trust me, it is worth another watch.

“Hound Dog” with Buddy Guy
“Down by the Riverside”
Grahame found this treasure. Great song, great groove, fab guitar tone. The Paladins - “Kiddio”.
This song always reminds me of Mike Sanchez but hat’s not important - just enjoy The Paladins.
Here’s a recent post made to the Blues-L mailing list by Chuck Nevitt. I thought that his interesting take of blues releted clips made very good watching….
Across The Street From The Blues Syl Johnson — Is one of the great under-rated singers. Here he is, displaying chops right out of the Al Green school of soul. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrQZjAqkC3s Little Junior Parker — Long a favorite of blues fans, late in his career Parker showed he wasn’t about to stay stuck in the 50s. Financially, that probably wasn’t the smartest move he made, because he was essentially cut out of the blues scene because his style had changed. This song is from an obscure album that also had 3 Beatler cover tunes on it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6CxhyXCiCY Rusty Zinn - Rusty not only knows his way around the blues, but here he shows that he’s a helluva reggae musician, making Frankie Valli’s “Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You” sound like it’s straight on the island. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPp2r7mGZPU Sean Costello — Speaking of Al Green, here is a clip of with Sean and his band performing Al’s great tune, “I’m A Ram.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3tLMQX4Izw John Lee Hooker — Hooker hooks up with Carlos Santana. Carlos started out playing the blues in the 60s, and I don’t know that Hooker ever played much Santana music, but despite what some might doubts about, the two of them sound good together. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43yvS6bPZDs
Groundhog56 has posted some new videos of the recent Ian Siegal gig at Warrington Blues Club.
Go to his video channel to check them out.
Here’s a clip of one of his shows back in May this year.
Damn this is good! Lou Ann Barton singing “Shake a Hand” with a who’s who of Austin legends Preston Hubbard, Denny Freeman, Derek O’Brien and Jay Moeller. Great solo from Derek.
I spend a lot of time in Madrid (great city, highly recommended) as usual on my many travels I research possible blues gigs in my destination.
Many times in Madrid I have seen the name Ñaco Goñi but so far I have not had the opportunity to see him. So imagine my surprise when I stumbled on the the Spanish Superharps YouTube clips. From the blurb it looks like three top harp blowers are joined in a proyect to pay tribute to that ´91 Alligator CD Harp Attack!. So Ñaco Goñi, Mingo Balaguer and Danny Boy are playing some gigs and some festivals. Plus they have recorded the Spanish Blues Harp Attack CD.

Mind you I still don´t know which one is Ñaco.
Another classic. Horton playing over the top of Rogers a little, but still fantastic.
Oh boy! Does this take me back. My strong belief is that the British culture does not breed excellence in classic blues grooves, however we have a great reputation and history for producing pushy and spiky music. I don’t know the reason for this, it was postulated to me many years ago that our historic licensing laws and the necessity to have everyone out of the door at 10.55 resulted in us making great three minute songs and not so good 20 minute songs (of course world famous bands like PInk Floyd completely disprove this flimsy theory). None of this postulation detracts from the clear excellence of the original Doctor Feelgood, here’s the band in full Thames delta glory from 1975. The Feelgoods were a huge influence on me and this is a classic. Enjoy the dodgy re-done sound and the freshly laundered suit of “Going Back Home”.

Feelgood fans will also enjoy this bonus from The OGWT also from 1975. I remember watching this when it was first broadcast. Wilko is great - lead and rhythm at the same time.
Damn this is good. What an incredible tone. Amazing clip. Proper Chicago blues. Enjoy.
Extracts froma BBC4 documentary on the legend Dinah Washington. Makes you proud to be British. In four parts, the other three are easily accessible from this one.

… and here’s a ZZ Top bonus from 1982.
