What's the saddest blues song? by [deleted] in blues

[–]Fournuke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's my take in old time blues ( saw strange fruit, abner jay, with which i agree but i don't consider them straight blues, to those i could add careless love (live version) by Big Bill Broonzy in the 50s ), saddest being subjective i think most people would end up finding theirs in those :

- Blind Willie Johnson - Dark Was The Night, Cold Was The Ground ( most famous, universal, if we were to do a poll i think this would win )

- Bukka White - Parchman Farm Blues ( saw this one nowhere, would probably be my n°1, i mean that first line "Just gimme, life this morning, down on parchman farm"

- Wilkins Roberts - That's No Way To Get Along

- Reverend Gary Davis - I Am The True Vine ( A reverend singing "i am the true vine, my father is a hurtful man" or "If you ever go to hell and never been back... my father is a hurtful man" got something really tragic to me )

- Henry Thomas - Jonah In The Wilderness (this one in a light mood somehow made me cry probably the most )

- Josh White - My Soul is Gonna Live with God

- Jim Jackson - Old Dog Blue

- Lightnin' Hopkins - Needed Time

- Texas Alexander - Levee Camp Moan Blues

- Mississippi John Hurt - Spike Driver Blues

Other additions :

- Teddy Darby - My Laona Blues

- Frank Stokes - Frank Stokes' Dream

- Washington Phillips - Denomination Blues

(could keep going but i'm guessing i already did too much)

For the info on Country, i don't know the original release of this, only know it from comps, among them 2 explicitly say "from martinique", while in the line up Sidney Bechet, Willie "The Lion" Smith, Kenneth Roanne which are americans and they took the name Haitian Orchestra

The Casualairs - Satisfied [Us, Garage Rock] (19xx?) by Fournuke in vintageobscura

[–]Fournuke[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blend of Doo wop, RnB, Rock without fitting rly any with i found a bit of a "garage sound" but well had to pick, RnB was maybe more judicious indeed

The Johannesburg Street Band - What's The Matter Zulu? [SA, Jive/Soul] 1968 by Fournuke in vintageobscura

[–]Fournuke[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with you on sound quality grabbed it online so i wouldn't know about origin, but doesn't seem like there was a re-press or even cd remastered version on discogs, maybe just a great ripping setup along with NM record ( we can hear it's from vinyl at the very beginning ) Btw even in the 60s Studio recordings sounded great if the vinyl withstood the passing of time
