We
can never "capture" all of the great talents and songs of blues
history. Instead, we're going to feature some of them in our
"limited" discography (see listings below) and invite you to contribute
your views on other Blues Greats.
We are highlighting some of the "legends" submitted by our Members
to tell you why these Legends are on their list of favorites. Click
on the links below for information about their Choices

Instead of
just following the blues legends, we can also follow the songs
as they've
traveled
miles across blues history. Take a ride with us on

Following
the path of
"Some
Day Baby" - "Worried Life Blues" - "Trouble No More"
This song preceded Mississippi Fred McDowel in the Delta and Hill
country in North Mississippi--but we can't ask him where he
heard it. He called it "Someday Baby."
Otis Spann recorded it on "Otis Spann is the Blues" as "Worried
Life Blues" as did Billy Boy Arnold on "Back Where I Belong".
Muddy called it "Trouble No More" and recorded it in 1955 (CD same
name).
Sam Cooke called it "Trouble Blues" on his 1963 recording "NightBeat."
Many of us first heard it on the Allman Brothers debut in 1969 as
"Trouble No More."
So I know there is more before and after. Can you add to this
blues trail? If so send us an E-mail
to tell us about it
