Everyday (I Have the Blues), Marshall Tucker Band.  

Used to play it in the car when I took my three children on vacation. They've never seen the video, but you could hear them yell "Everyday!" as we rolled up the highway.

The video is Live, poor picture quality, black & white. But if you want a sense of what it was like to watch, we saw them twice in one weekend two years later at Saratoga Performing Arts Center. It was an 8 hour round trip, but we decided we had to go back and catch it again. An unforgetable weekend.

Mt Babe, Little Walter & His Jukes, released in 1955, it was written by Willlie Dixon and was the biggest hit of both of their careers.

Blues In The Night (my fav)

Am I Blue?

St. Louis Blues

Me and the Devil Blues (Robert Johnson )

And the great Miles Davis tune which I've jammed on many times: All Blues

The Blues have only 12 bars that repeat, so musicians all over the world can easily jam on The Blues together! If anyone wants some free Blues sheet music, they are welcome to PM me- Gaili Schoen

Amen InfoSeeker, the entire album is a classic. Don't forget the late, great Duane Allman is playing slide on all those cuts.
