Agreed. Can't get enough Screamin Jay. I'm going to learn a number of his tunes and add them to my extensive blues cover repertoire: Yellow Coat, Frenzy, Little Demon. Most of his great tunes are on Youtube. Have you ever heard Creedence Clearwater Revival's cover of Scream'in Jay's I Put A Spell On You? Best Creedence song ever IMO. Here it is:

I'll go with this as my favorite blues tune: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDU_EHP0yl8

Mine is John Lee Hooker Boom Boom, theres a band on the street on Beale Street that does this awesome rendition whenever I request it.

No Expectations by the Rolling Stones, listen to that slide guitar Brian Jones lays down, beautiful!

I think this takes it all.

Ughhhh . . . unreal song, this song has always ranked as one of the darkest, emotional things I have ever heard, Skip James had IT.

Makes me want to get out my National Style O and slide

I had the pleasure of playing guitar behind Honeyboy Edwards a few years ago at BB Kings in NYC times Square . . . talked with him and John Hammond Jr. (also on the bill) backstage, man what cool sh*t we talked about, I love that guy (and Mr. Hammond)!

Very cool... Those Delta boys were (are) the best imo.
They are the grand-daddy's of the American players plain and simple. John Hurt, Bukka White,John Lee, Robert Johnson etc...
Throw Sumlin in as well. Without those players who knows what we would be listening to today, who would J Page have plagiarized

I don't know if there can possibly be a best, but one that hits me just right every time;

I like a lot of Delbert McClintons stuff, and Most of Bonnie Raitt's CD's that Don Was produced. Obviously, I prefer the polished blues with a wall of sound rolling behind the singers.
I do like the old blues fore runners too, but no favorites. How can a musician have a favorite song with all the different blues styles out there?
