Clapton's "Sessions for Robert J"

[hanselthecaretaker]

It was like $23 at Meijer and has a dvd with 19 covers of RJ's blues by Clapton and his band as they're jamming, as well as an 11 track cd.
The blues is one of the most under-rated forms of music. I'm gettin hooked on it.

True.true
I listen to all types of music from Mozart to Manson but I always come back to the Blues. And RJ is certainly the Godfather, everyone who’s anyone has covered his songs, Clapton, Zeppelin, The Stones, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, etc etc.

Check out the “The Complete Recordings” double-disc set. The sound quality is a little rough in places but it’s everything Robert Johnson ever recorded.

For me though,
my ultimate blues high was seeing BBKing and SRV a year before Stevie died.
I’ve been to all kinds of shows but I’ve rarely seen such a diverse crowd or people just sitting in silent reverence as they played soaking I every note. As I’ve always said you don’t listen to the blues, you don’t jam to the blues, you feel the blues.
