Chuck Berry never cut a blues record. His stuff is a lot closer related to the country music of the time than anything blues music

>>73965503

>no one has informed the OP that in order for him to get into the blues...

>he's got to pay his dues

I'm very disappointed in you, /mu/.

Sadly the best stuff is rather hard to get into because it was recorded on leaky tin cans made of wood. Delta blues is especially good. And I really like slide guitar blues.

If you just want to check out the popular stuff, most well known artists are the three kings (Freddie, Albert, B.B), Robert Johnson, John Lee Hooker, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters

Guys who are called popular "blues players", but are playing something can only be described as "inspired by blues": Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimmy Hendrix

>>73967654
That's a song, not an album. I should have said album instead of record
>>73967702
That's a song, not an album. Listen to Too Much Monkey Business on the same LP and tell me it's a blues record

>>73967919
A record is a recording anon. An album is a kind of record, as is a single, as is any one song. You fucked up with your wording and both the links posted are records.

As I said, I should have said album, so that's fair. But if you make that change in my original post, what I said is true: Chuck Berry didn't record any blues albums. He absolutely took monumental influence from the blues greats of his time; but it was country inspired stuff like Maybellene, inspired by stuff like Ida Red https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xW8u31u2pT0 that made him popular

>>73968148
Country and blues as a whole were a lot closer then than they are now. Jimmie Rodgers considered himself a blues artist.

>>73968189
If you want to categorize something, you don't rely on what other people claim to be, or think they are. Of course country and blues sounded a lot more similar back in the 1950s, country begins with the blues and other American folk music. But it's the synthesis of the two that is rock and roll, at least early rock and roll is basically the marriage of country pacing/rhythm and blues guitar progressions. Chuck Berry maybe didn't invent rock and roll, but he certainly WAS playing it, not blues or country

>>73968352
No one said otherwise. You're saying things everyone here already knows,

Listen to eric clapton. bluesbrakers album, cream albums and derek and dominos and that's all what you need to hear

You seem to think that just because anons here said Chuck Berry played blues that we're saying he played nothing /but/ the blues. That's not what's happening.

>>73968372
>Country and blues were a lot closer back when they both were more interrelated
You're not saying anything, anon. Why don't you collect your thoughts and come back when you have something to contribute?

>>73968402
But why would you recommend Chuck Berry to someone who was asking for blues music to listen to? It's the same as if someone asked me to recommend some bluegrass and I posted some random Grateful Dead song where they played covered some random favorite of theirs as a one-off

>>73968417
>Chuck Berry never cut a blues record
>except when he cut a blues record but I didn't mean that kind of blues record
Wow, thanks for enlightening us anon.

>>73968434
I never recommended him. My first post in this discussion was >>73967342 and then >>73967654

RJ isn't really delta blues, he's got a much wider repertoire.
>>73966075
The Centennial Collection has the best sound quality, if you can find it.

>>73965503
start with his first album like any other artist

Again, I said that I meant album, you're just being pedantic for focusing on one small mistake that I've already happily corrected. I'll show myself out, enjoy all those Chuck Berry blues records you've been listening to
