For my B'day, my SO took me to Amoeba and Rasputin's to pick out some tunes. I came back with several items but one of 'em was a sealed double album Blue Note Re-issue Series T-Bone Walker Classics of Modern Blues. Good old-fashioned blues! And it's recorded well....and the vinyl is clean, flat no pops/ticks excellence. :smoke: :music:

T-Bone Walker is one of my favorites. Must have 5 or 6 of his albums but I'm partial to Stormy Monday Blues.

Don't have the one you just got. Gonna have to keep watch for it.

Great score...love T Bone Walker..

Doesn't everyone have a T-Bone Walker comp?:D

dmax99 - they should! Mine is "T-Bone Blues" on Atlantic - decent quality too.

T-Bone is not only the first great electric blues guitarist (almost everyone stole licks from him), but he was also a showman par excellence, playing the guitar behind his head, doing the splits (he got his start in showbiz as a dancer), etc, years before Hendrix and other rock stars did similar stunts.

Get the Rhino retrospective to start and branch out from there, if interested. Unlike many bluesmen, T-Bone was neither under-recorded nor under-appreciated during his long career. His greatest influence and recordings were made during the 40's to mid 50's.
