Check out the 4 clefs my Great Grandpa's group
Hey all check out my great Grandpa's group the 4 clefs who recorded for the bluebird label. There style was Jump Blues/early R&B and they hailed from Springfield Illinois. They made there way out west and gained a cult following in San Francisco and the Los Angeles area. Their music was featured in a Hallmark ad several years back and unfortunately my family has no rights to the music so we got nothing from it. Check out there track here take it and git it. Featuring solos from all members including my great Grandpa John "Happy" Green on Guitar. Hope you enjoy

What decade is your favorite?
Curious to know about everyone's favorite decade of the blues, if you have any. Each subgenre of blues started out around different times, so I guess this question can also be answered by just replying with your favorite subgenre lol

Need recommendation for new blues albums
So I would say that I'm fairly news to this incredible genre. I listened to "Thrill is gone" probably 4 years ago and it's been a while since I've started listening to SRV (Texas Flood, In Step, Couldn't Stand The Weather) and I'm absolutely in love with his guitar playing. I want to learn more and listen more to blues, especially guitarists like SRV. I like the songs to have more guitar (I didn't like born under a bad sign album because small amount of guitar). Can you please recommend me some good blues albums and artists to listen to?
