VERY DISAPOINTED IN YOU JIMMY. WITH ALL THAT BRAIN POWER THE ONLY POST YOU COULD THINK OF WAS A "WHATS YOUR FAVORITE". WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST ASK US WHAT OUR FAVORITE COLOR IS. YOU MUST BE BORED AT WORK. YOU ARE A GOOD GUITAR PLAYER SO I KNOW YOU HAVE THE CAPACITY. I'M NOT YOUR ENEMY, I'M JUST BLUNT.

My faves with my fave performers:

Whippin' Post - Allman Brothers or Frank Zappa

Tobacco Road - Jamul (yeah, I know)

You Can Leave Your Hat On - Randy Newman or Joe Cocker or just about anyone - that's a tough song to eff up, it's so perfect!

Bleeding All Over The Place - Randy Newman - if you've never heard this, you should find it immediately, cuz it's that good!

Guilty - Randy Newman, Bonnie Raitt

Send me To The 'Lectric Chair - David Bromberg

Kansas City - David Bromberg

Sharon - David Bromberg

Still Got The Blues - Gary Moore

I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry - Hank Williams, Sr

Killin' The Blues - Chris Smither

Memphis In The Meantime - Chris Smither

Wolfman's Brother - Phish

Those are the 1st that come to mind for me, & yeah, I know that's weird, cuz there ain't nothin' mainstream blues about it, but they're my fave blues pieces.
