Music Recommendations: Blues-ish Country

[SnoopRob]

This is a song written by Danny Flowers, a guy that was in high school with me. He was in Don Williams' band who first recorded this song and covered later by Eric Clapton.

Danny has a cd "Forbidden Fruits and Vegetables" which includes "Tulsa Time"

That's a great song. While not in the vein of this thread, I absolutely love Don Williams. A great voice doing so many great songs.

Nikolas Jones ?

Yeah...that's not it.

I would consider a lot of the Grateful Dead catalog to be a quintessential blend of country and blues. Workingman’s Dead might be the best example in studio album format.

Don't know if this'll work, but here's another one with some blues country crossover,

That's a good song. I always like JJ Cale.

 

[SnoopRob]

Always love Townes Van Zandt.

Those were the only two Dead albums I listened to a lot. Never was seriously into them like a lot of other people I knew. I did like these two and still have my vinyl copies.

We are much in sync.

I LOVE R.L. BURNSIDE! HE'S AWESOME!

Also, let me tell my favorite R.L. Burnside story for y'all. He was charged with murder for killing a dude over some sort of gambling dispute (and was eventually convicted and served 6 months before he got out due to connections). In his trial, he claimed self-defense and went on to say...

"I didn't mean to kill nobody, I just meant to shoot the sonofabitch in the head. Him dying was between him and the Lord."

First song I thought of Jj grey country ghetto. Probably a little up tempo for what you’re asking for.

Love this band. Not even their best song.

Also Brent Cobb because someone put in red clay strays
