Wow, don't know where to begin wit this, but today, I feel groovy and I want to feel my blood boiled, I want to howl like a wolf, I want to hear some blues.
If you're the kind to associate blues to sad song, well, you miss a lot of what it is. Let rectify that, shall we?
Mannish Boy, by Muddy Water, 1955
This whose song is a mood in itself. the slow drum like an hart beat accentuated wit the trio harmonica, bass and guitare who's responding to Muddy Water is what I call a power move.This kind of Blues Is called Chicago Blues and it's mostly associated with late night show in bars, but this song could be a wake up song.

What'd I Say, by Ray Charles,1959
Ray Charles is one of my favorite. This voice, this piano, this creativity... ...simply delightful. This song is classified as a Rhythm and blues and Soul genre of music. it have nothing in common with the RnB from the 90's, the definition of RnB have changed a lots with the time, but that's a story for another time. Ray Charles is know to touch a lot of style in his creation, not that he searched to do so, but he was simply following his creativity. Blues, country, jazz, and more...
As I know, this song was an improvisation at the end of a concert to fill the time and it turned to be one of his first song to push him in the mainstream media (I might be wrong here) Also, the song covered both side of the original record, that's why it's called What'd I Say part 1 & 2 on the following video.

Lucille, by B.B. King, 1968
This song is a love letter to his guitare. Lucille is not only represent his guitare, but also his story with it. Some peoples, like him, really affectionate memories over thing like object and memories, that's why he speak of his guitare like a partner of life. Also, The guitare that's referred as Lucil most of the time is a custom Gibson close to the ES-355 model without the F hole.
