I thought it would be fun to start a list or essential blues recordings. Here are some suggestions. Please leave a comment so we can add yours to the list.
Dave Gross is a rising star on the blues scene and also really fun to follow on Twitter @davegrossblues. Dave frequently tweets out tunes and musical facts and a while back he tweeted out “Today in #Jazz History-1928: Louis Armstrong & His Hot Five records “West End #Blues” which gave me such fond memories that I wrote a wee blog post on it here. It was interesting to me that when I researched this song I found it was in the Grammy Hall of Fame.
I got curious what blues songs were in the Grammy Hall of Fame. And the winner is - ha ha - ok Here is the list of all the blues singles in the Grammy Hall of Fame.
