Electric Blues Collection

This is a selection of some Electric Blues from a number of different artists. It includes people like John Lee Hooker, Ry Cooder, Howlin' Wolf, Stray Cats & Muddy Waters.

Electric blues is a type of blues music distinguished by the amplification of the guitar, bass, drums & often the harmonica. Pioneered in the 1930s, it emerged as a genre in Chicago in the 1940s. It was taken up in many areas of America leading to the development of regional subgenres such as electric Memphis blues & Texas blues.

I do have to say that Ry Cooder's guitar playing on Feelin' Bad Blues is probably the best slide guitar I've ever heard :) It's from the Crossroads soundtrack.
