Etta James
This isnt much of a guitar jammin tune, but it is blues...share it with your ol lady tommarrow, youll thank me for it!
I heard this tune the other day on Sirius Blues and I just had to hunt it down...
Etta James-Id Rather Go Blind thats a live version(with Dr John), I found more but unfortunately not a studio version.
Heres a video of a chic painting to the same song, different live version(that sounds real clean)

Then heres a version of Faces doing it, kinda cool in a 1970s rock n roll kinda way(with Rod Stewart)

And heres one more(cover of the same song) with a nice Tele solo at about 1:45 Dana Fuchs Band - I'd Rather Go Blind (Etta James Cover)

Etta is one of my favorite blues artists! I have one of her early live albums kicking around here somewhere - it SMOKES! She sings with so much raw power and emotion! I also have a greatest hits album, and some tracks on various Chess compilations.
Other than SRV, who led me to the blues, I really dig the Chess recordings and the artists on that label. I was born about 10 years too late me thinks

The live album is "Etta James Rocks the House", her only live recording with Chess (1964).

Do you have Sirius satelight radio? If not GET IT! Sirius Blues has a show with Robert(?) Chess, son of the founder of Chess records...its about his recollection of growing up in the Chess studios and all of the artists that were like family to him...and he plays some SMOKIN tracks!!! A definate must check!I really dig the Chess recordings and the artists on that label. I was born about 10 years too late me thinks

here is a partial recording of etta when i saw her at carnegie. you weren't allowed to bring in cameras or video but i did
it was recorded with my point and shoot canon camera on movie mode....i had to cup the back of it to try and keep the screen from showing up while i was recording it! Pretty crappy recording....

I really just dont "feel" her music though...and they play the hell out of it. BUT she does have a really smooth voice for a radio blues show, she plays some good stuff and her stories are good...but her music?
With your account you are also able to listen online...which is really nice.
