Blues For Life Your place for blues reviews and news.

This almost pains me to post. Here is a list posted by the Gibson company on their own blog that discusses ten great electric blues live albums. My first comment is that isn't it interesting only three of the artists mentioned are players of Fender guitars. Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, and Albert Collins are the only Fender slingers on the list. I am inherently distrustful of  Gibson; I mean have you seen what they've done to Jimi Hendrix? Not only are the selling cheap Chinese made Fender knockoffs under the name of Jimi Hendrix but, they also posted about it on their company blog where outrage was so vocal by all guitarist that they pulled the articles in shame. Still though, not as much same as Janie Hendrix should feel what with her being a blood sucking leach.

However I will grudgingly admit that Gibson put together a fine list. It's not a top ten list but just a list of ten great albums.All the artists I previously mentioned are in great company with the rest of the roster filled by Lonnie Mack, Freddie King, Howlin' Wolf, Son Seals, Johnny Winter, John Lee Hooker, and BB King. Like I said there's nothing really to complain about; their not saying these are the best, just some great albums. Heck there are a few I don't have which are going to be added onto my must buy list. However, I will point out an album that should have been included. It's by some Fender player who is pretty popular.
