Every "Rock" artist has done a "Blues" song. What's your favorite?

It's no secret the blues had a baby named
rock 'n roll. Here are a couple of my favorites.

Pearl Jam dipped their toes in the water with
Driftin'

I remember the first time I heard
Tea for One
by Zeppelin. I stop what I was doing and became mesmerized, by Page's seductive riffs!


Then there's quiet possibly the greatest Blues/Rock song you've ever opened your ears too.

Jimi Hendrix - Born Under a Bad Sign

My Favorite.

Dave Edmunds' version of "I hear you knocking" is pure British blues/rock ear candy to me.

Plus I give him credit for his (barely audible) shoutouts to New Orleans r&r pioneers like Smiley Lewis, Fats Domino, and Huey Piano Smith during the solo.

good one...
It's a blues song on the sly.


When I close my eyes I hear Eddie Floyd or maybe Wilson Pickkett?

good stuff Pepe

good stuff, but you got to dig deep.

that's a given ...

I hold you to a higher standard.
Journey to the forgotten part of your mind, think about the best blues by a rock artist you've ever heard.



ETA:
Listening and grooving to Slash

Very good. I think I prefer Catfish Blues.

Also for ZZ Top "Jesus Just Left Chicago"

Marilyn Manson did a spin on "I put a spell on you" when he lived in new Orleans that I enjoyed, as a stretch from their typical.
