What are the best blues instrumental music tracks? It is a big question. Blues and lyrics go hand in hand, but what if you just want the blues without all the words? This question I mind the best instrumental buried in the blues musical landscape to be found. Here is my list of the best instrumental blues and a little background about the musicians that gave them life.
The # 1 spot on my blues instrumental music chart goes to "Juke" by Little Walker. Little Walker, whose real name is Marion Walter Jacobs, is a known and respected blues singer, harmonica player and guitarist. He is one of the greats and is compared with other major artists like Charlie Parker and Jimi Hendrix. He changed views on what they expect a harmonica player by showing them what was possible. In March 2008 he was placed in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the sideman category and was the only to get the artist for his work with a harmonica.
The # 2 spot on my blues instrumental music chart goes to "Hide Away" by Freddie King. Freddie King, also known as "The Texas Cannonball", was a great blues guitarist and singer. His guitar style was based off of Texas and Chicago influences he developed his twenty years recording career. He has inspired many great musicians such as Bill Freeman, Denny Campbell, and Jimmie Vaughan. He was also one of the first artists to a multi-racial band on stage with him. Unfortunately, at the young age of 42, King deceased due to heart failure on December 28, 1979.
The # 3 spot on my blues instrumental music graph goes to "Albatros" by Fleetwood Mac with Peter Green. Fleetwood Mac is a British / American rock band started in 1967. Through the years the band members came and went, but they still were able to get any success. The only band member of the entire stay was drummer Mick Fleetwood. Their most successful period was when they were led by guitarist Peter Green in the late 1960s.
These are just a few of my favorite instrumental music and they are just skimming the surface of all the great blues instrumentals that are be. I hope you enjoyed reading about them and challenge you to get out there and find some of your own and share them with the world. Until next time.
