As the title says, I have been buying more Blues lately as I have enough Jazz for a lifetime. Just wondering what everyone else likes I want some new titles.

Here's a few more albums that are in my LP collection that come highly recommended. The Otis Spann is OOP but can be had. Look for Chad's reissue though. Same goes for the Jimmy Weatherspoon. Have Chad's old reissue but he is reissuing it again in the new Prestige jazz series. I have the Memphis Slim and Lightnin' in New York City on tape and LP and they are really, really good. My only caution is the PP copy of Memphis Slim had some groove narrowing. The John Lee Hooker 45 rpm took me totally by surprise. Awesome music and sound!

If any of you want to seriously get into blues and jazz roots you need to check out the below link . This is the single largest source of roots blues and jazz of which I am aware. Some of it came from single surviving examples of a record from collectors vaults. Some of it is as early as 1914 in the Edison series.
They have also started working with Jack White with his Third Man Productions for vinyl reissue. Admittedly some of the sound quality leaves a bit to be desired but what would you expect when trying to put out recordings up to a century old?Comment

Yep, on Devil Got My Woman, there are, I believe, only 4 copies extant and one or two are unplayable. Almost all the copies you hear in any form come from a single copy owned by a collector. John Fahey did a lot--and Revenant helped Jack White put the Paramount boxed sets together (they won a Grammy for their Charlie Patton collection, though it was only on CD). Yazoo had some good stuff, the label is back, but I'm not sure it is the same as the earlier stuff. The early blues is fascinating. Especially when you compare the popularized versions, e.g. Zep's When the Levee Breaks with the original, from Memphis Minnie. I don't have the wherewithal at this point to collect the original 78s, so I mainly buy later transcriptions on vinyl. You know that Paramount- home to a lot of the famous blues records- was really a furniture company that made phonograph players and signed artists and recorded them simply to have catalog to sell for their phono cabinets?
