Old, yeah... but if makes you feel better (or worse) you're the closest to my musical tastes based on posts here. And I'm 61 :-)

RichZ has been posting ancient blues stuff that was probably recorded on an Edison cylinder. What came before 4-track recording, 1 track?

I like quite a few of RichZ's selections from the era of the phonograph with the big horn speaker that the RCA dog listened to, even though I'm not old enough to remember any of them.

The sad thing about traditional blues that younger generations are never going to be able to experience is going to an old smoky blues club. IMO, the blues demands an intimate setting with a thick haze of cigarette smoke and an audience chiming in with, "Sing it brother!" every now and then.

St. Louis Jimmy Oden - Going Down Slow

This is not the original version. I really prefer the original, from 1941, but people been beetchin about me posting old blues, so I'll post the 4th version of this song he recorded. Much newer. This one's from 1960. Wouldn't want you to have to listen to something older than dirt.

Not bitching. Just responding to CL82 about "old". Keep doing what you've been doing.

Not posting a song here, but just wanted to say, way to respond with one of CT's finest! Granted, they weren't born in CT, but after their initial success they became the 2nd black homeowners (after Jackie Robinson) to integrate North Stamford. I used to run into them occasionally at Lee's Market off Long Ridge Rd. and they were invariably stoned out of their gourds.

Their sound was mesmerizing. One day we were hanging out in the cellar of the son of an engineer and decided to hook up an
oscilloscope to the different album music we were playing to see the sign waves. The Chambers Bros waves were noticeably different as they were consistently uniform; almost perfectly so. Loved that sound!

Didn't know Oscar had any blues releases out there. I've got a couple old jazz CDs of his. Excellent jazz pianist.

Incoherent Love Songs, p.s. eliot

Both Clark and Oscar were primarily jazz musicians. Clark took scat to whole new levels, often not including any recognizable words in a 10 minute jam. Between tooting his horn, of course.

But they recorded several versions of Incoherent Blues. Some much bluesier than the one I posted.

Celine Dion is actually a distant relative of my wife's. But thank you. Even my wife doesn't listen to her.
