Hello MBH forum! I need a little help compiling a list of chromatic blues songs to make a nice mix. I checked the archive and all I could really find was a compilation of Little Walter songs including his chromatic hits and a couple other things. This is NOT a top 10 list! Jazzy blues is ok as well.

Thanks in advance!!!

These artists have lots of great chromatic numbers in their repertoires; George Smith, Rod Piazza, William Clarke, Dennis Gruenling, Kim Wilson, Lynwood Slim and lots more chrom cats! or is it specific song title you want?

Here is UK cat West Weston layin' down some sleazy shit on the chrom!







One of my all time fav's SOUL FEET....


And Lynwood Slim doin' his take on SOUL FEET...


And the great Carey Bell on the Chrom at about 45.25...

No specific song just a heap of them for a good mix. I do have a decent collection but I do not think it is large enough. I really love listening to just chrome once in a while. I do know Steve "West" Weston. A real cool cat. I met him up in Hildesheim when he was playing with Trick Bag at BB and the Blues Shacks 25 year Party. I am looking forward to seeing him again this summer with Mud at the Gaildorfer Bluesfest. Thanks!!!

I am unable to play most of these videos due to GEMA laws in Germany. It is a Musician Rights, Gig Taxation and a bunch of legal mumbo jumbo that all musiians here hate. Even with YT unblocker I cannot get most things to play for me.

GRRRRRRRRR!!!

have you tried a proxy server/anonymizer? These can obscure the ID of your location. I haven't messed with them, but reading suggests that they might help.

The late Gary Primich had some nice chromatic work going on.

Early Stevie wonder was pretty bluesy !

Thanks for the start. Soul Feet is real nice. What I am looking for are individual songs. I know who plays chrome but I wish to compile a mix of individual songs. I will compile them from the info here and post the mix when completed.
@Winslow and Mastercaster I have tried a proxy and I just get too much malware spam and advertising. I do use YTunblocker which almost always works. It worked this morning.
@Mastercaster if you are an angler opener is right around the corner. If you are molder well you should get fishin' once in awhile.
Thanks guys!!!
