Hello, ...I'll parrot Chris' and Skip's comments on Hound Dog Taylor and Pat Hare. I'll add two cuts from Muddy Waters, "Still a Fool" and "Standing Around Crying". While I'm a big fan of nearly all of Muddy's stuff that I've heard, these two songs possess an edge that is unique to his stuff. The way Little Walter's whining harmonica combines w/ Muddy's guitar and his absolutely menacing vocals is a claustrophobic treat on "Standing...". Leonard Chess actually plays drums on "Still a Fool" and his playing is the embodiment of "simple". The MCA Muddy Waters 3 CD box is a great thing. Pat Hare is in his band for a dozen tracks. He's not as wild as on the Sun stuff he did, but he still sounds grand. There's just so much terrific stuff on that box. The original "Rolling Stone" and the wild-ass guitar of "Honey Bee", "She Moves Me" , which has more of Chess' drums ("all" he "does" here is thump a bass drum, but it sounds FANTASTIC), and too much more to go into right now. If it's in print (my god it SHOULD be) you may want to spring for it, or find a good comp of his '50s stuff. The good comps are usually on Chess records and will very likely include most if not all the songs mentioned above. I remain....

I love the old blues from long ago, but want something more harsh and electric. Something that burns (and not in the Stevie Ray Vaughn way!)... Are there any current artists that are out there that I should check into?
