This album is Great! I can see where The Animals, Yardbirds and Stones must have loved this album. Boom Boom dares to be cranked.
I dunno if I think if this as more blues, or more gospel, either way, probably the one I'd pick if I was forced to pick one:
Nice! i'll have to order me a copy of that for sure , thanks for the info & good luck on your new addition to the Collection
The first song on Blues On Fire sounds like it may be sourced from an acetate or or 78, lots of surface noise the rest of the LP is not like that. Just John and his guitar. The Vee Jay album Burnin is full band and sounds fantastic.
John Fell, from your icon you'll be happy to know I was blasting the Sundazed mono of The Blusebreakers Crusade about 1:00am last night.

This question is loaded Too many great albums to pick one: (A man and his guitar alone, And look at the track list.) I'll choose this to start:
There's many solid titles already suggested and many that I have but Folksinger by Muddy Waters has remained my favorite blues album for years.
Always loved this one by Memphis Slim - my favourite Blues album but also love the later Muddy Waters singles.
