    I dunno yet, I'm downloading more than I can listen to and assess. The songs that made it through into my collection so far are:

    John Lee Hooker & Stevie Ray Vaughn - Boom Boom
    Robert Johnson - Got My Mojo Working
    Son Seals - Bad Blood


    I am just going nuts with LimeWire now. I had been struggling with Kazaa lite for way too damn long, and it was frustrating dealing with all the bogus files nad such, but now that I've discovered LimeWire I'm loving it. I've gotten like 100 songs in the last day.

    Jay-Z & Eminem
    Iron Maiden & King Diamond
    Clint Black & Alan Jackson
    Robert Johnson & John Lee Hooker

    I'm getting everything.

    Oh yea, and porn too....
    limewire pretty good? I use emule, but that is slow as hell. and lately, I have problems with the servers. Sometimes no servers are up, or just 1 french one. And when I try to find movies, they are all in foriegn languages.

        Oh... well maybe that's why I like it. I haven't liked much of Robert Johnson's stuff so far. And this song is a lot more uptempo than the other stuff I got.

          I'd also recommend compilations such as 'Southern Soul Belles' featuring the likes of Betty Lavette and CBS (?) have done a great series of c.d.s covering the varieties of blues, such as washboard, country blues, rude blues, delta, steel guitar, and so on.

                You don't like Manish boy???

                  Fairly commercial Chicago Blues, in the main.

                  Try these, if that's your bag-

                  "So many roads"- Otis Rush
                  "Boogie Chillun"- John Lee Hooker
                  "Smokestack lightning"- Howlin' Wolf
                  "Evil"- Howlin' Wolf
                  "Fattening frogs for snakes"- Sonny Boy Williamson.

                    It was borderline. If he mixed it up a bit it would have been good. 5 minutes of the exact same beat gets on my nerves. It felt like a blues version of some tedious dance/techno song or something.

                          Blues Brothers take it to another level. But they have a full brass section, so they are kinda cheating.

                            It's a show band, and outside of Belushi and Ayckroyd, they are all legit. Steve Croppe, Duck Dunn et al...

                            Nothin' wrong with that album. I'm gonna dig it out and play it tonight.

                              Yeah, Blues Brothers is a mostly just another cover band. But I think they made at least 90% of their songs much better than the original, so I forgive them. I sing one of their songs in my own cover band, Looking for a Fox from the otherwise crappy "Blues Brothers 2000" movie
