Try Robert Johnson - the recordings are old but the lyrics!

Btw, Blues, have you heard of Indra Lesmana ? Also a very dynamic and talented jazz keyboard player from indonesia. I also quite enjoy his vocal album released toward end of last year. wink.gif

Yeah I know indra lesmana. For vocalist I like krisdayanti. Her voice reminds me of celine dion. Not up to celine's standard,. but somehow is quite there already.

Not to mention bands like base jam, gigi and all.. very good songs they have there.

 

Rameish, will try the one that you mentioned

Guy, don't expect high quality sound okay. It's very low-fi. But the music is something else.

 

N@Z,

 

I had a tape that has gone kaput entitled The Blues World of Eric Clapton" Do you have that on CD? If so please bring it down when you visit okay?

 

Guy,

 

Maybe you should start off with something a little easier like Eric Clapton esp when he was with John Mayel and the Blues breakers. Then see if you like Bob Dylan (he's not blues but folk). If you can tahan Bob then try Leonard Cohen. The try Robert Johnson.

Yes, those are good stuff, Blues.

 

Just a little hint, stay focus on the topic of the thread. If in doubt, please check "The M team" for new but important change. Be afraid........like your school headmaster...... wink.gif

Rameish, I'm afraid I don't have a copy of that at all.

 

Blues, I can bring the Double tape of Robert Johnson for you to borrow, if I can find it. As Rameish said, it's very low-fi. If you like Dylan you can definitely take Robert Johnson.

Other suggestion for Clapton is The Cream of Eric CLapton. A nice beginners sampler into older EC stuff.

Rollings Stone's first album is very bluesey. What was it called... Route 66? The song to the title track is very cool.
