Topic: Joe's Best Slow Blues?

For me it would have to be Joe's rendition of "Chains and Things" from Tour De Force. Gets me every time!

Re: Joe's Best Slow Blues?

I would say Reconsider Baby for me too.
Unless Sloe Gin would be considered slow blues

I still like the early version of If Heartaches Were Nickels from the ANDY DVD performance at Ft. Wayne best, which was a lot less "slow."

Regardless, I'll jump on the Reconsider Baby bandwagon too.

Re: Joe's Best Slow Blues?

I love every slow blues that has been mentioned so far and Midnight Blues also deserves an honourable mention. But I think I have to add my vote to Xavier - Chains and Things on TDF is really something else.

I consider this to be one of the best slow Blueses and guitar sounds ever brought on stage.
