The video is from: BB King/Live at Cook County Jail. The entire album is a true King of the Blues gem. Also from that era try Live and Well. At that time BB's band was Sonny Freeman and the Unusuals. His drummer for about 25 years.

They were probably the best band he ever toured with, and he was at his absolute best during this era. Great vocals and guitar solos. I saw them 4 times during this time.

Thanks So Much nyadm I like your choices as well. I've been playing most of those tunes for the last 47 years. I have a black Gibson 335, that looks a lot BB's old Lucille a 345. The best blues guitar evr made. Those artist and songs are my musical heart, they have been, and will always be my idols. It's to know someone out there still loves that music.

Nyadrn: Thanks So Much: You don't have to be a blues guitar player to know what good music sounds like. It's quite obvious you have great musical taste. Your ears and heart are in the right place.

The 12 string Jimi video cut is of course great, I totally agree.

But you must agree his greated blues cut is "Red House."

A stone cold classic blues tune, with a great vocal and an

amazing solo.

Buried Alive in the Blues is a great Joplin cut.

But, I think her best by far is "Try (Just a Little Bit Harder") on the Pearl album.
