Thanks Jon. I've added it to my shopping list so I should get a proper listen soon.

I can't take the credit on that one!

John Lee Hooker's Tantalising with the Blues is a good starter and I have a copy of his Chess Masters LP where his foot takes the place of the drummer. Great voice.

Cheers Jon. I can't find Chess Masters on CD but I'll keep looking...

Yesterday's aquisitions (more in the post):

Eric Clapton - Blues (compilation)
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Pronounced...
Muddy Waters - Hard Again
Chicago - Hits
Nirvana - Best of

The EC CD is the only one I've heard all the way through (in the van) and it's great to hear EC's blues. The studio version of Alberta is especially outstanding, dare I say better than the one on Unplugged? That one is more lively with the full band but his voice is even more emotional/bluesy in the studio version.

Lynyrd Skynyrd were already in my top 3 discoveries of the 70s from their compilation but they keep getting better! Until this project I only knew Sweet Home Alabama and it never inspired me to find out more but after hearing just the compilation, that is almost one of their worst (most boring) songs. All there other pre-crash albums are in the post so I foresee the "repeat album" option being worn out pretty. It will be an absolute pleasure when I make myself a 'best of' compilation of them!

Chicago are sadly not exciting enough for me. Apart from their already famous ones, 25 or 6 to 4 is my favourite.

Apart from Smells Like Teen Spirit and Come As You Are, I don't know Nirvana so we'll see how that one pans out.

Muddy Waters... I may have to wait until home for that one as the YouTube samples I listened to sound epic!

Stay tuned for more journey updates as I work my way through your suggestions...

Sadly I have no vinyl capabilities but maybe this will benefit someone else?

Just thought I should jump in and suggest some early Carlos Santana, Blind Faith ( their one and only album ) Van Der graph Generator, The Guess Who, Gov'nt Mule even Elton Johns Madman across the Water, Frank Zappa, King Crimson ( 21st Century schizoid man ) there are so many...and I am happy to have many of them....I could list for hours!
