"I Got My Mojo Workin" -- The Blues Thread With all the other threads that have popped up the last few days, it only seems fitting now to also have a Blues Thread, since the blues did give birth to rock n roll (with a little help from country music, of course). So, post links to your favorite blues songs and artists, and comment on why you dig 'em. Doesn't have to be A to Z -- that's sort of limiting, I think, when we're talking about a whole genre like this Okay, I'll start with a clip of the song this thread is named after. Here's the famous Muddy Waters performance of "I Got My Mojo Workin'" at the Newport Jazz Festival http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhTCYqJsfqs -- Edited by IntoTheMystic at 05/09/2008 12:39 AM PDT

Yeah, that was sort of the "sequel" -- that was the song that was a hit and made em commercially popular for a while
Here's Jimmie & Stevie Ray, from their Vaughan Brothers album. Not really blues, but pretty punchy rockin-R&B
"Hard to Be"
