  Title Artist notes
1. Hard Time Killing Floor Blues Chris Thomas from the o' brother where art thou soundtrack
2. Stuck Inside Of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again Bob Dylan
3. Cumberland Blues Grateful Dead
4. Ambulance Blues Neil Young i prefer the anthology version
5. Yer Blues The Beatles

other great blues songs: 'dreams' by allman bros, 'tombstone blues' by dylan. 'old brown shoe' by harrison, 'revolution' (white album version) by the beatles would be super high on this list, except they're not really songs about the blues, but rather bluesy songs.

ever heard the original of #1? skip james is amazing. if this list was just blues songs, his 'devil got my woman' would be #1 on mine.

ah good catch. no, I was gonna put old brown shoe, but decided later that it wasn't really a song about the blues

I think your note on 4 was meant for 5...? Either way, solid list.

wow it is 'of'! that's wiggity wiggity wack! i feel like such a goon!

yeah the list could be totally different if it were blues songs.. even harder.. that's why i chose to do songs about the blues.. narrows it down a bit. and it's definitely "suck inside of mobile".. as in mobile alabama I'm assuming..?
