*BLUES* what are some of your favorite Tunes?

[Analog]

Some of my favorite Blues tunes are re-makes by 60s Rock acts like Cream, Zep, Traffic, Canned Heat, Stones etc. I especially like Cream's cover of Spoonful and Crossroads. Also the Stones "Midnight Rambler". Not sure if "you shook me " by Zep is a cover, but it is a damn good bluesy tune. Any other good ones? I'm trying to think of some from the Who, but I can't come up with any...

I Can't Quit You Babe - Led Zep

I've actually really gotten into Zep's bluesy stuff lately. Great music.

Of course, I love pretty much everything by SRV...

Maybe - I do not know.
I know the Stones covered Howlin' Wolf's "Red Rooster" - I actually heard them play it live in the '80's.

Check out Coco Montoya. "Just Let Go" is a good CD.

Link. My favorite is "Fear No Evil".
