Your favourite progressive blues song ever? (pick one!)

[Svetonio]

My fav is Šumadijski Blues by Smak (1976)

the original studio version, released as a B-side of their single from 1976

live in NYC, 1976

live in Ušće park, Belgrade, 2015

"Šumadijski" referring to "Shumadia", a central part of Serbia - Šumadija is also the place where the band were formed - with pleasant landscapes what the band successfully captued in both lyrics & music, so that pastoral element is great in this blues song.





Šumadija

John Mayall-So Hard To Share, from The Turning Point album.(live)

[Zeuhlmate]

[ronmac]

Agree with Zeuhlmate. Except for the lyrics part.

[Jack in Wilmington]

Eric Clapton........My Father's Eyes

[Zeuhlmate]

Agree with Zeuhlmate. Except for the lyrics part.

I was in doubt about what Svetonio was after, Johnnys lyrics are fine, but I have no idea who made the best progressive blues lyrics.

good call. My fave album from them.

[Shadow]

[3LockBox]

an album that everyone here owes it to themselves to hear, Ed.

[arabicadabra]

Cryin' In The Rain - Whitesnake (1987) - if Aynsley Dunbar's drumming isn't proggy enough for you, try the placement of the accents in the chorus - sounds simple, until you go to play it and realize where they're actually placed.

That was a nice song, not blues to me, but still a nice song. Is the whole cd like that.

Maybe 15 years ago I built a big addition on a house. The home owners knew a painter and he had a guy helping him who gave me one of his cds. He was a blues guy from Transylvania and this is the title track from the disc. Seemed appropriate with the election coming up.

[Galactic Bulldozer]

The short version...

[Jerjo]

That's some pretty awesome music!

[PeterG]

Not sure what "progressive blues" is. Is it the type of blues-based stuff originally of the undergr0und scene of the late 60s, early 70s? Traffic, Colosseum, Zeppelin that type of thing?

[Galactic Bulldozer]

Yep, along with Cream, Juicy Lucy, May Blitz, Free, Hendrix, Procol Harum, Robin Trower, Spooky Tooth etc. Even Uriah Heep.

[Shadow]

That's some pretty awesome music!

The whole cd is very good.

[Progbear]

That was a nice song, not blues to me, but still a nice song. Is the whole cd like that.

It’s the only song like that. The rest is herky-jerky avant-garde jazz-rock.

[Supersonic Scientist]

Zep - Since I've Been Lovin You. Original studio version (although, I've heard some SCORTCHING live versions too ....and some not-so-good live versions also)
