In need of some good sad blues songs

[Docpepper]

Was wondering if you guys could give me some good sad blues songs ? Wanting to listen to something different that what I have been listening to , trying to expand my musical tastes

[METALMAN]

Try some early Fleetwood Mac. Think along the lines of "Need Your Love So Bad".

[Skummy]

Leadbelly's "Where Did You Sleep Last Night", Son House's "Death Letter", Billie Holliday's....well, just about anything by her... Hank Williams' "Lovesick Blues"...all those are a good start.

[Ash J. Williams]

"Who's Been Talking?" by Clutch.

[paulbd]

Stormy Monday by The Allman Brothers

Yer Blues by The Beatles

[Jayzon]

Ain't No Sunshine by Bill Withers. Sad, moody, great.

[Number of the Breast]

Seasick Steve.

[New Damage]

I was gonna suggest "Where Did You Sleep Last Night?" By Leadbelly/Nirvana myself.

Mmm, "Leaving Song" by The Exies? It's sadish, acoustic, slow (and short at about 1 min 30)... dunno about bluesy though.

I'd recommend the Leaving Song by The Exies to anyone. If only it was another few minutes longer and had another verse or two.

Robert Johnson - "Cross Road Blues"

[Lowerdeck]

Stormy Monday by The Allman Brothers

which is a cover of Stormy Monday Blues by Bobby 'Blue' Bland

so I'm recommending this version

[MalaCloudy Black]

JJ Cale's got a lot of good stuff. "Same Old Blues" etc.
