Top 10 Blues Albums

[@TheSoulOfVinyl]

I just want to thank everyone for watching. If I left something out - it’s probably because I don’t have it… can’t have everything! Also these selections are subjective- just because I like something doesn’t mean you will.

[@eugenesteenhuisen4065]

Awesome selection. Very envious. Can’t fault a single choice. So glad Gary Moore is in there. What a blues man and guitarist he was.

[@charlesdavenport6094]

T-Bone Walker, Lightning Hopkins....but can't go wrong with Albert King

[@SvenThatoverpassisinLanc-qj4qg]

Great video brother! Enjoyed it very much.

[@b14m23]

Albert King's best album was "I'll Play the Blues for You" a classic.

[@BPeterGlyde-lx7uy]

I haven’t heard all his playing, but best Albert King heard for me is on “Jammed Together” with Pop Staples and Steve Cropper. Sweet guitar.

[@skontch1]

I thoroughly enjoyed your video. Albert King has always been my favorite guitarist, so you can imagine what I thought of your top two selections. I do think Robben Ford needs to get more recognition. He should be on your list somewhere, IMO. 😎

[@iwanbottos5128]

Blues Bros were a party band with some of the top musicians from Atlantic studio musicians , mainly from Booker T and the MG's ,But not on the same level as SRVaughn , Clapton, Walter Trout and those guys .So another no 10 please. Then I'll return to hear thr rest of top 10,

[@Birdlives247]

Booker T and the MGs were from the Stax studio. Steve Cropper is a great guitar player. Not flashy but perfect for soul recordings. Sometimes less is more. B.B. King was not flashy but he could play the blues better than Clapton . Is Walter Trout in the same league as Clapton or Stevie Ray Vaugn? Ask Buddy Guy.

[@freemanmorey3655]

Putting the Blues Brothers on this list when there are so many great blues artists who are not on it is just insulting.

[@TheSoulOfVinyl]

Well I don’t have a giant Blues collection- I pulled from what I have. Thanks for watching!

[@TooLooze]

Albert King has been my favorite since "Lovejoy" was released in 1971.

[@belfastboyful]

R U having a laff?where the F is Roert Johnson,Lightnin'Hopkins,Big Joe Williams ,Litte Walter,Big Mama Thorton? & many other blues artists.

[@TheSoulOfVinyl]

If I had those- I would show them- but thanks for watching!

“Muddy Waters invented electricity!” -Joe Seneca playing Willie Brown in the movie “Crossroads”

[@edbur1]

Bruce Iglauer has said he started Alligator Records just so he could have a Hound Dog Taylor album out.

[@petergalloway7978]

Can’t believe Elmore James isn’t in there

[@TheSoulOfVinyl]

Don’t own any. Thanks for watching!

[@gracefaithCHRISTscriptureGOD]

What.no zz top,.led lep,.Rory Gallagher. Can't day I agree with your list. But it's your list. 👍

[@TheSoulOfVinyl]

I have Led Zeppelin in my Top 10 Hard Rock/Heavy Metal albums video. Go check that out - thanks for watching!

[@richfrank8540]

Some fine choices but two misses - need some Freddie King, and as far as Clapton solo blues albums the only choice is From the Cradle

[@TheSoulOfVinyl]

Those are great choices- but this video is about what I have in my collection and I don’t have those. Thanks for watching!

[@williammaurer9450]

Agree on Gary Moore, love him. Also love, love, love all the Kings. Surprised no Freddie. Regardless, great choices.

[@TheSoulOfVinyl]

Thanks! I do enjoy Freddie King. I have some stuff on CD.

[@JS-nx1nl]

Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn its shocking to pick a real true blues artist for number one. Albert King i remember listening to I wanna get funky as a kid. I think that this the only album cover i have ever seen with hm playing a Stratocaster.

[@raymind1313]

Albert invented BLUES POWER.

[@raymind1313]

Could sing too!

[@raymind1313]

The Ice Man took it away from B.B., Carlos, Elvis at the Fillmore West with all of them on stage.

[@raymind1313]

That's Elvin Bishop.

[@axxellein]

Frijid Pink S/T=1970 =Defrosted=1971,, Heavy Blues!!!

[@edbur1]

Is that a bootleg Albert Collins?

[@peterperigoe9231]

Enjoyed that thanks, hadn't heard of Johnny Copeland or Son Seals will have to check them out.

[@TheSoulOfVinyl]

They are great! Definitely check them out. Thanks for watching!

[@bobp284]

Son Seals doin' Four Full Seasons Of Love has always been one of my favorites off the album. I have Blues Alive by Gary Moore. It has a little over half of the songs that are on yours plus some others. My favorite is Still Got The Blues Over You. I love how expressive that guitar is on that song and that's another of my all time favorites along with Cold Day In Hell.

[@gaylanbishop1641]

Stopped watching after your Blues Brothers selection. You lost all credibility.

[@TheSoulOfVinyl]

Thanks for watching!

[@6213explorer1]

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have the same thought. But I try to keep an open mind. 😊

[@lespaul1755]

Yuk

[@scottadams7523]

Love the collection but it makes me cringe to watch you pull out the vinyl without sleaves.

[@TheSoulOfVinyl]

All my records have sleeves. I just didn’t take them out with the records - thanks for watching!

[@saifonlawrence2044]

What about The Helen Reddy Band ?

[@TheSoulOfVinyl]

I don’t have anything in my collection- but thanks for watching!

[@seanbakerkirkpatrick]

John Belushi, not Jim.

[@TheSoulOfVinyl]

Yes I know I made a mistake on that. Thanks for watching!

[@iwanbottos5128]

Gary Moore underrated?Are you daft.?I'm done goodbye.

[@peterbetts858]

bad start bud . not only one of the funniest non pc comics but a pretty good blues singer for a white guy , his name is JOHN BELUSHI , NOT HIS brother jim.

[@TheSoulOfVinyl]

Meant John - I must have been watching According to Jim before recording!

[@peterbetts858]

when u say original label ,what do u mean ,not original pressing . i hope , these dont look like original pressings .

[@JohnWhite-xc3md]

Jim Belushi?😂

[@TheSoulOfVinyl]

Meant Jim

[@JohnWhite-xc3md]

@@TheSoulOfVinylOkay. I thought it was John Belushi on "Briefcase Full of Blues" from the early SNL days.

[@jeb-1981]

Gary Moore was the Best guitar player I have ever seen , I have seen a shit ton .

[@russcottee]

You were doing well until you got to Gary Moore who (IMO) ruined the blues with his overdriven, widdly-diddly nonsense, which paved the way for other 'rawk' players to claim they were blues players (e.g. Bonnamassa). Also I agree that Clapton should be in there, but you chose one of his most anodyne MOR albums: you could have gone with the Bluesbreakers' album or 'From The Cradle'. All the best

[@whitex4652]

So this is maybe the list of the best blues albums from the albums you bought at the time because they were bargains. Where is John Mayall's Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton? Johnny Winter's Second Winter? Gary Moore's Still Got The blues? ... and so on and on and on. You are a fool.
