List your favorite ten blues songs performed by British bands/recording artists?

Thank you Lemony. Most adults who can work a radio are familiar with Eric Clapton and Cream. An especially classic LIVE recoding of "Crossroads" would be great. Eric Burdon's cover of "The House of the Rising Sun" is clearly a classic. If you can think of some gem that is less well known that would be great. Maybe Keith Richards and Robert Plant played together at the Isle of Wight. Perhaps Jimi Hendrix and Van Morrrison played together one night at the London equivalent of The Boston Tea Party. (I meant to include Irish as well. Any Irish blues singer, band or an exceptional LIVE performance on Irish or British soil.) Maybe Jimmy Page and Steve Winwood performed with Taj Mahal one summer's evening. Any uncommon groupings that led to a great blues performance would be greeted with great fanfare here in America.

Keith are you out there? Connecticut is not that far a drive from Boston, Massachusetts. Why not go and surprise Carter Allen this Sunday morning. He likes his donuts with a

dark French Roast chaser. (That was the ending that got cut off from the comment above.)

Kelly, thank you!!!!! Those performances rock. Roger Daltrey has one of the great raw voices in rock and blues history. You can tell it's him singing from a mile away! Rory Gallagher is outstanding too. Many thanks for your good taste.

Thank you Miles and Kman for the Sonny Boy Williamson and Savoy Brown Band suggestions. Both excellent, and the Yardbirds too! I think "Train Kept a Rollin'" is a classic and their cover of Bo Diddley's great song "I'm a Man." Clapton, Beck, Jagger, Page, Mayal, Richards et cetera were an important part of a generation of British musicians who breathed new life into the blues. I realize that the blues are going to go the way of latin, but until they do recognition should be given to a great group of musicians who kept the blues vitally alive for another generation of listeners. Thanks again!!!

Thank you Groundhog. All wonderful suggestions!!! I just listened to Jeremy Spender doing Red Hot Mama from a performance at The Boston Tea Party around 1970 and then Canned Heat from a London show in 1970. They don't perform like that any more. Then I was listening to Keith Richards and Faces (Rod Stewart) do an acoustic version of Dust My Broom. Very uptempo when compared to the Elmore James version and absolutely great. Richards was an amazingly handsome guy back then. I have Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page doing Freight Loader over Draggin My Tale. Both great songs. Thanks again!

Martin Couch thank you very much. I thought Christine McVie only performed with Fleetwood Mac. Her version of I'D Rather Go Blind with Chicken Shack is wonderful. John Mayall and Eric Clapton on Hideaway and Jeff Beck on I'm Going Down!! (Beck will be playing Boston later this month at the Wand Theater. Savoy Brown Band is around too!) They could get a dead man's heart pumping again! Those tunes should be standard protocol in all ERs! Cyril Davies and All-Stars, what a treat to hear great harmonica early in the morning. By the way. WZLX 107.1 FM streams. Sunday at 2PM @ GMT. Thanks very much for your thoughtful recommendations!

Thank you woogieman for your selections. There is no doubt that Gary Moore and Paul Lamb can play the blues. I came across Gary Moore and BB King performing "Since I Met You Baby" and a number of great performances between Paul Lamb and Louisiana Red. Peter Green has some great collaborations with Fleetwood Mac, John Mayall, Santana and others. I thought Katie Melua's cover of Canned Heat's "On The Road Again" was unexpectedly moving. I've thought about how it from the female perspective. She's also great on "What I Miss About You," which begs for a bluesier treatment. I screwed up and combined the radio frequencies from WZLX and WBCN. BCN is 104.1 FM and a shell of the station it once was. It's sister station is ZLX, which is now the better station, and whose FM frequency is 100.7. But when I visited the WZLX radio website I could not find a way of submitting song selections to Carter Allen's Sunday Morning Blues. In the old days you could call a radio station and a human being would
