You would think that I should just be able to post what ever I want to any of my blogs right? Well I try very hard to keep this blog just to blues, and for a while there I really only focused on the pre-war and post war blues musicians.
Then I thought, dude that is way too narrow of a concentration. You need to open up to some of the more contemporary forms of the blues and also some other styles too. Which I figure we will all enjoy. One kind of blues that I plan to post more of is British blues, which I like a lot.
Well it is back to school time, and I thought I would post the song, "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl" which was written by Sonny Boy Williams I. I have always liked this song, I mean it goes way back to when I was myself a schoolboy.
Well anyway, I'm thinking that the Yardbirds are a British Rock band, so there version should do well. But it sounds a little too much like a Rock song to me so I include Buddy Guy's version which is as blues and you can get. Not that I don't love rock, but that is just not what we are about here at SML. That's all I'm saying.
Buddy Guy - Good Morning Little Schoolgirl

Hi There,
"Good Morning Little School Girl" there is a couple of good versions of it on an album called "Muddy Water Blues" by Paul Rodgers. As for British Blues, you could have the great John Mayall.. :) Oh and from slightly further afield, have a listen to Ana Popovic.
Cheers

Well if you're to believe BB King, the blues had a baby and they called it rock and roll...lol. I did like the Yardbirds version, though..and it was fun to see pictures of Clapton and Page when they looked about 12 years old. Hard to believe that Jimmy Page is 65 today.
But for pure raw pleasure, nobody beats acoustic Buddy. Just a delight to listen to.
Thanks for the great videos!
