Great video, but you know I’m a blues hound. Pretty jealous of some of those finds. So Peter Paul & Mary recorded a Rev Gary Davis song and unlike most of the people at the time, made sure that he got the royalties. He bought a house in Queens, NY and lived there to the end of his life. He called it, “the house that Peter Paul and Mary built”. True story. Roy Bookbinder, who’s still touring and playing took guitar lessons from the Rev and always has great stories to tell about going to his house in the mid 60’s. Thanks for posting and keep digging for those blues LPs
Son house ! He was living in Rochester NY working for the railroad when he was found in the early 60s. I have heard that members of Canned Heat came here ( I’m outside of Rochester) and convinced him to get back into music. Rumor from the Canned Heat community is that they had to teach him some of his old songs because he’d forgotten them. Very cool collection you have.yes. I’d love a history of the blues
Hi Dillon, Living here i the U.K. we had lots of opurtunities to see these guys. The american folk blues festival was a favorite. Also Albert King, John Lee Hooker, Memphis Slim, Homesick James, Bukka White and several others. I have a lot of Lightnins records from the 60s including Jewel Records from Shreveport still in cellophane wrappers.
One thing I like about you and your channel is that you know the history behind the music. I'm the same way,I don't learn the history of every artist I listen to but I know a thing or two plus I already like history. It's always interesting to find how these little things connect to different artists/people/places etc.
Wow man, 2 days in a row of straight fireballs ....you are throwing haymakers left and right. About 75% of what you showed today and yesterday are albums that have been sitting in my wantlist for quite some time haha....excellent pulls my friend! And I wondered the same thing about Freddy vs Freddie as I have the Freddy King sings and the Hideaway and I didn't know which one was the typo haha. Cheers buddy!
Hi Dillon, fantastic video on your blues records, right up my street.would love a history of blues video from you.been collecting blues for more years than I can remember as my favourite form of music.hope you keeping well.best regards Mike
An awesome selection, I recently came across some test pressings of howlin wolf ,muddy waters and John lee hooker.here in the uk and added to my blues vinyl collection.
Hello Dillon, I believe I told you that I have Sonny Terry on 10" 1958 folkways record with an insert I picked up from my record store great harmonica playing. Great video I love me some blues.
Prestige Bluesville is local to me in NJ and can be found pretty easily locally. I need to check out T Bone walker and a few others on your list. Thanks for this video.
Dude, that Son House white label looks super clean, huh? Sweet. I bought a collection of over 3,000 records spanning the 50’s - mid 90’s, a lot of which I’d never heard of before all this virus madness started. There’s a ton of old blues and jazz stuff, but I also came across a NM 1st press of “Ride the Lightning” on Megaforce from ‘84 still in the shrink, and almost sh*t my britches. I’m still going through em and just looking up info on each record on Discogs, and now’s the perfect time to do it. I’ve still got about 500 records to go through. Good luck, stay safe, and be well, man. Any grails or anything ya might be looking for, btw? It’s no MoFi, but I’ve got a 1st press of “a real summit meeting too. Forgot what label. I think it’s a kinda common record anyway.
I just got one of a early, early pressing sealed copy from the Michael Hobson collection from Classic Records. The Back is labeled & initialed by M Hobson as proof. So, do I open it or keep it sealed. I have another N/M copy of the same to listen.
Love the video Dillon, hope you and your family are safe. I would love to purchase a Noble Records t-shirt in black 3xl if you have that size. I would like to represent in New Mexico.
That was a cool Albert King album. I enjoyed your discussion on the 12 String guitar. Not being a musician I find those discussions interesting. I have never heard of a 9 string guitar. I really love Elmore James. Terry and McGhee really grew to hate one another. I guess they were together for too long lol. Stay safe. Steve
Lightnin' recorded a LOT and not really with a consistent location or producer. Lee Roy Parnell tells the story of a very focused and young white engineer/producer busily setting up mics etc while Lightnin' watched bemusedly and tuned his guitar. Finally Lightnin' asked "Excuse me sir. Are you the producer?" "Yes Mr Hopkins, I am" "Then produce me a bottle of wine"
Wow...i have all these guys on cd and more,sadly is not easy to find them on vinyl here in Belgium (same with jazz) and if i find one,they ask way to much for an lp you can't play. lol
I will literally take any video you decide to do, especially now that I have even more time on my hands than before. Maybe you could do something like the soundtrack of my life videos where you go through records that are special to you in chronological order
Beautiful Blues collection I'm definitely taking notes here that T Bone outstanding Dillon I hope you stay open and I hope this pandemic goes away fast this video made my day great blue collection. Lovellandrew
Thank you for this. Really great to see what you've been buying. I know what you mean about the raw acoustic Blues. Bought a Leadbelly LP recently which is just great. A story which is never told but is legendary is that of the 2 Sonny 'Boy' Wiiliamsons. The Sonny 'Boy' Williamson most people think of (the harmonica playing one who often appeared on stage with a hat) is actually Alec 'Rice' Miller. He adopted the name Sonny 'Boy' Williamson pretty much illegitimately. It would be great if you could compare the two bluesmen and perhaps run through their respective discographies giving your opinion on each.
Alan Wilson the guitarist and harpist for the band Canned Heat was the guy who brought back Son House. When he was rediscovered he couldn't remember or play his old songs at all. Wilson retaught Son House all his songs and how he played them and then Wilson played harp with Son House frequently after his return. Alan Wilson was a very interesting individual.
Rev. Gary Davis was a big influence on Jorma. See if you can find a copy of Hound Dog Taylor and The HouseRockers debut. I bought it for quarter in college. One of the best investments I ever made. A little rough but it still plays.
My favorite is Roger Hubbard's "Belle Brighton Blues". Blue Goose records put out a bunch of great blues records in the 70's. Luv your channel. Just recently discovered it. I am mainly an XTC collector. Peace out.
I really feel your videos are lacking Condition and Price :) I find myself binge watching Pokemon Vidz just to see the prices and always like WOW! Food for thought
another great video, I have been collecting blues here in Australia since late 70's after an accidental meeting in hamburg germany with champion jack Dupree. keep up the great videos. don't let the covid-19 bug get you, enjoy the music. take care
Man, I’m green with envy for the tbone walker and K.C. Douglas (and all the other records I don’t have). I’d highly recommend buddy buys autobiography, “when I left home”. On top of the fact buddy is a hell of a blues man and a beautiful human his story is woven so deeply into the blues the book gives a first hand view of the lives of people that lived the experiences that made the blues from the Deep South to ol chicago. based on your taste i can tell you won’t be able to put it down.
There's a jazz player in my village who developed a nine-string guitar where each string is separate. He designed it to make is easier to play complex chords like jazz pianists play. He explains the rationale of his design on his website: 9string.com/about/
Perfect time for the blues but I gotta stay high and mighty happy. Stay well Dillon and keep showing records. 🎸🥁✌🏻😎

I also have a video idea,maybe you can make a list of the most unique artists in your collection.
Wow man, 2 days in a row of straight fireballs ....you are throwing haymakers left and right.

It’s supposed to be “Freddie” 🤣 but yeah I should show my recent finds more regularly. They stack up on me like this 🤣
I hear you.....I just showed all my acquisitions from the start of the year and it was a 39 minute video haha
Hi Dillon, fantastic video on your blues records, right up my street.would love a history of blues video from you.been collecting blues for more years than I can remember as my favourite form of music.hope you keeping well.best regards Mike
Home not feeling well this cheered me up. I love the Blues have a couple of 78 blues not enough on vinyl yet but working on it.
An awesome selection, I recently came across some test pressings of howlin wolf ,muddy waters and John lee hooker.here in the uk and added to my blues vinyl collection.
Waow awsome Blues collection. The T-Bone Walker is great. Jim
I love the blues, and would welcome a history of blues video.
Hello Dillon, I believe I told you that I have Sonny Terry on 10" 1958 folkways record with an insert I picked up from my record store great harmonica playing. Great video I love me some blues.
Big Bill Broonzy is the best...no clunkers and timeless.
Muddy's my favorite too. That Lovejoy album is excellent. Your collection is something of envy.
So cool blues selection!! More more video in this corona virus situation
Enjoyed this.. tx I've been collecting blues lps for a long time ..Have some rare stuff Joseph Spence,washboard Sam,Nighthawk,Homesicjk James ,,etc
Thanks for the vid. Don't sleep on Otis Rush he's the real deal

Yes. Please do a history of blues. Are you interested in the way back New Orleans blues? Buddy Bolden? Professor Longhair?
Dillon,
I’d like to hear your opinion on Peter Green - F Mac, Pious Birds album.
I just got one of a early, early pressing sealed copy from the Michael Hobson collection from Classic Records. The Back is labeled & initialed by M Hobson as proof.
So, do I open it or keep it sealed. I have another N/M copy of the same to listen.
Love the video Dillon, hope you and your family are safe. I would love to purchase a Noble Records t-shirt in black 3xl if you have that size. I would like to represent in New Mexico.
No buddy guy?
I have a bunch of buddy guy, these are just what I found recently
That was a cool Albert King album. I enjoyed your discussion on the 12 String guitar. Not being a musician I find those discussions interesting. I have never heard of a 9 string guitar. I really love Elmore James. Terry and McGhee really grew to hate one another. I guess they were together for too long lol. Stay safe. Steve
Check out Blind Willie McTell.
Love blind Willie mctell
I'd love a history of blues video. I think you might like a guy named Abner Jay
Lightnin' recorded a LOT and not really with a consistent location or producer. Lee Roy Parnell tells the story of a very focused and young white engineer/producer busily setting up mics etc while Lightnin' watched bemusedly and tuned his guitar. Finally Lightnin' asked "Excuse me sir. Are you the producer?" "Yes Mr Hopkins, I am" "Then produce me a bottle of wine"
And the number 1 is ELMORE JAMES!
IDK. John Lee Hooker recorded 100 albums and so influential to most of the Rock bands of the 60s & 70s.
Coleccion the john mayall and bluesbreaker and blues england please from Ambato - Ecuador
RIP John Mayall.
Wow...i have all these guys on cd and more,sadly is not easy to find them on vinyl here in Belgium (same with jazz) and if i find one,they ask way to much for an lp you can't play. lol
Yeah they are hard to find here too, but I imagine even harder find outside if the US
Not enough blues talked about in the VC.
True. A lot of Jazz, Classic Rock & Soul albums. But not so much Blues.
First comment
I will literally take any video you decide to do, especially now that I have even more time on my hands than before. Maybe you could do something like the soundtrack of my life videos where you go through records that are special to you in chronological order

Thank you so much!
Please do a history of the blues. It would be greatly appreciated.
Even Freddie King jumped on the surf craze in the early 60's. I'm a big fan of Albert Collins and Robert Cray.
Yeah I love Collins as well. I’ve seen Robert cray live a few times, love him.
