Haven't got a clue about that one I'm afraid. Definitely blues or WCS style music, so it might be hard to get an answer here.

I know bro, it was a hail mary...is there an equilvalent of swingdjs for westie or blues groups?

you guys are my only source if I cant figure a song out...

So many bands like that, and so many, many songs... They may be mentioning the title at 0.38, but I can't really figure it out. Elbows Faded Blues? Surely not.

Alva's Baby Blues is what he said, by Ray Sharpe. Here's another video featuring Mario Robau:

There's also a video of Myles and Tessa improvising to it. It shows up on lots of westie music top-n lists and forums.

I hadn't heard of Ray Sharpe. I don't can't find the album or compilation the recording can be found on. Wikipedia confirms that he's from Texas which I expected from his sound. It doesn't seem that he has a regular band. He's bounced around with a lot of the bands in the 60's have most of his success as a songwriter although he's played with some big names. His discography doesn't list the song. It's live so perhaps it's a bootleg recording.

In the last month two songs I have been searching for years have been answered because of this forum, this new one just gives me a new song to hunt for, thanks so much for the info bro! my hunt begins...

FOUND IT under Walter T Higgs - Alva Baby's Blues!

Thanks bro!

Ah, Walter T Higgs on harmonica. I like. His harmonica is nice and laid back, great tone and punctuation, a very Sonny Boy Williamson meets James Cotton inspired sound. Seems like he usually plays with a decent but unremarkable band, that's unfortunate.

ive slowly been getting into James Cotton mainly due to what I hear from that harmonica, do you have anymore suggestions on where Hig's rocks out?
