HW: Hawkwind and the Blues

[Jill Strobridge]

diverging off the previous topic a bit - I was listening to a Chicago
Blues programme the other evening and a lady came onto the stage and
launched into a dynamic and intense blues track I didn't know the name
of BUT the bass intro and the riff underlying it .... the same intro and
riff underlying Orgone Accumulator.   In fact the more I hear of blues
music the more I realise why I get drawn into (particularly the early)
Hawkwind tracks - that music underlies everything!

Looks like I'm going to have to chase down some live Chicago blues
albums.  I don't suppose anyone has any recommendations.....

cheers
jill
