T-Bone Walker Lyrics “I Got the Blues” Sometimes I’d sing the blues when I know I should be prayin’ Sometimes I’d sing the blues when I know I should be prayin’ ‘Fore I share the world’s troubles, it’s why I feel this way I wake up some mornin’ feel like I wanna cry I begin to sing the blues, yes, to ease my worried mind I was born with emotions and a song was in my mind Another part of my story, it may never be told If I only knew when my trouble would end If I only knew when my trouble would end I’d kiss bad luck goodbye and start all over again. “Call It Stormy Monday” They call it stormy Moday, but Tuesday's just as bad They call it stormy Moday, but Tuesday's just as bad Wednesday's worse, and Thursday's also sad Yes the eagle flies on Friday, and Saturday I go out to play Eagle flies on Friday, and Saturday I go out to play Sunday I go to church, then I kneel down and pray Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me Lord have mercy, my heart's in misery Crazy about my baby, yes, send her back to me “T-Bone Shuffle” Let your hair down baby, Let's have a natural ball. Let your hair down baby, Let's have a natural ball. Cause when you're not happy, It ain't no fun at all. You can't take it with you, That's one thing for sure. You can't take it with you baby, That's one thing for sure. There's nothing wrong with ya baby, That a good T-Bone shuffle can't cure. Have fun while ya can, Fate's an aweful thing. Have fun while ya can, Fate's an aweful thing. You can't tell what might happen, That's why I love to sing. “Mean Old World” This is a mean old world, baby, to live in by yourself This is a mean old world to live in by your self When you can't get the woman you love, you know she's loving someone else Well, I drink to keep from worrying and I smile to keep from crying I drink to keep from worrying, baby, I smile to keep from crying That's to keep the public from knowing just what I have on my mind Some day, some day, baby, I'll be six feet in my grave Some day, some day, darling, I'll be six feet in my grave And, I won't be around here to be mistreated, darling, like a low-down slave. .

Eric Clapton
ERIC CLAPTON BIOGRAFIA Eric Patrick Clapton nasceu em 30/03/1945 em Ripley, Inglaterra. Ganhou a sua primeira guitarra aos 13 anos e se interessou pelo Blues americano de artistas como Robert Johnson e Muddy Waters. Apelidado de Slowhand, é considerado um dos melhores guitarristas do mundo. O reconhecimento de Clapton só começou quando entrou no “Yardbirds”, banda inglesa de grande influência que teve o mérito de reunir três dos maiores guitarristas de todos os tempos em sua formação: Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck e Jimmy Page. Apesar do sucesso que o grupo fazia, Clapton não admitia abandonar o Blues e, em sua opinião, o Yardbirds estava seguindo uma direção muito pop. Sai do grupo em 1965, quando John Mayall o convida a juntar-se à sua banda, os “Blues Breakers”. Gravam o álbum “Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton”, mas o relacionamento com Mayall não era dos melhores e Clapton deixa o grupo pouco tempo depois. Em 1966, forma os “Cream” com o baixista Jack Bruce e o baterista Ginger Baker. Com a gravação de 4 álbuns (“Fresh Cream”, “Disraeli Gears”, “Wheels Of Fire” e “Goodbye”) e muitos shows em terras norte americanas, os Cream atingiram enorme sucesso e Eric Clapton já era tido como um dos melhores guitarristas da história. A banda separa-se no fim de 1968 devido ao distanciamento entre os membros. Neste mesmo ano, Clapton a convite de seu amigo George Harisson, toca na faixa “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” do White Album dos Beatles. Forma os “Blind Faith” em 1969 com Steve Winwood, Ginger Baker e Rick Grech, que durou por pouco tempo, lançando apenas um album.

B. B. King (1925-2015) Homenatge Al Rei Del Blues Maig 2015
B. B. King (1925-2015) Homenatge al Rei del Blues Maig 2015 ■ INTRODUCCIÓN Riley B. King o Riley Ben King (Itta Bena, Misisipi, 16 de septiembre de 1925-Las Vegas, Nevada, 14 de mayo de 2015), más conocido como B.B. King, fue un músico, cantante y compositor estadounidense. Es ampliamente considerado uno de los músicos de blues más influyentes de todos los tiempos, ganando el apodo de «el Rey del Blues» y el renombre de «uno de los tres reyes (kings) de la guitarra blues» junto a Albert King y Freddie King. Según Edward M. Komara, King «introdujo un sofisticado estilo de solos basados en fluidas cuerdas [de guitarra] dobladas y brillantes vibratos que influirían prácticamente a todos los guitarristas de blues eléctrico que le siguieron». Los Beatles le mencionaron en la canción «Dig It» (1970). Además, la revista Rolling Stone lo situó en el puesto seis de la lista de los 100 mejores guitarristas de todos los tiempos y figura en el puesto 17 de la lista «Top 50 Guitarists of All Time» elaborada por Gibson. King fue introducido en el Salón de la Fama del Rock and Roll en 1987. Con los años, King desarrolló un estilo de guitarra identificable de su obra musical, con elementos prestados de Blind Lemon Jefferson, T-Bone Walker y otros y la fusión de géneros musicales como el blues, el jazz, el swing y el pop. Su guitarra eléctrica Gibson ES-335, apodada «Lucille», también da nombre a una línea de guitarras creada por la compañía en 1980. King es también reconocido por su prolífico directo, con un promedio de 250 ó 300 conciertos anuales durante la década de 1970.

G VonT-Bone Walker, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Ray Charles und Freddie, B.B. und Albert King bis zu Jeff Beck, Fleetwood Mac, Charlie Musselwhite, Ronnie Earl und Stevie Ray Vaughan. INFORMATIONEN Mit insgesamt annähernd dreihundert Einzeltiteln beschreibt der Blueshistoriker und Musikwissenschaftler Bill Dahl aus Chicago die bislang umfassendste Geschichte des elektrischen Blues von seinen Anfängen in den späten 1930er Jahren bis in das aktuelle Jahrtausend. Bevor in den Dreißigerjahren Tonabnehmersysteme, erste primitive Verstärker und Beschallungssysteme und schließ- lich mit Gibsons ES-150 ein elektrisches Gitarren-Serienmodell entwickelt wurde, spielte die erste Generation der Gitarrenpioniere im Blues in den beiden Jahrzehnten vor Ausbruch des Zweiten Weltkriegs auf akustischen Instrumenten. Doch erst mit Hilfe der elektrischen Verstärkung konnten sich Gitarristen und Mundharmonikaspielern gegenüber den Pianisten, Schlagzeugern und Bläsern in ihrer Band behaupten, wenn sie für ihre musikalischen Höhenflüge bei einem Solo abheben wollten. Auf zwölf randvollen CDs, jeweils in einem Dreier-Set in geschmackvollen und vielfach aufklappbaren Digipacks, hat Bill Dahl die wichtigsten und etliche nahezu in Vergessenheit geratene Beispiele für die bedeutendste Epoche in der Geschichte des Blues zusammengestellt.
