Some backup [backing tracks]

If you're like me and spend a lot of your spare time trying to learn to play the blues, finding a good group of people to back you up is a dream of yours. Unfortunately for practicing backing bands arn't really practical, but that is why backing tracks exist.
A lot of the time I will play along with songs, but I know most of the time I just stop and listen to artist (Mostly Stevie), but when I have a backing track my playing is front and center and I can hear how I'm working my way through the song. Finding good backing tracks can be annyoing though when you're like me are looking to not spend any money but there are a few sites that give out some good free backing tracks. My favorite tracks right now come from BT King. They're all free and sound pretty darn good, I really like Roadhouse Cafe which when I get pretty good on it I'll post a video of me playing along. You can ignore Space Groove Boogie though, it sucks.
Another spot you might want to check out is guitarbackingtrack.com. It's kind of full of spam but there are things there.
