I want a BLUES album

Hi guys,

what I really want right now is a great blues album by Prince. Mainly accoustics, with a little piano thrown in.

Not the classic style blues, but the Prince blues of "Sometimes it snows in April", "Old friends for sale" etc...

P L E A S E

Where does this definition of "Prince blues" stem from?

SISIA and OF4S have absolutely nothing to do with what people associate with "Blues"...

I made a great little 'blues album' from outtakes from the 1990/91 sessions.

The tracks are either quite bluesy in style, or quite melencholy, and it holds up well as an album from the era.

Prince - Get Blue

1. I Hear Your Voice

2. Player

3. Open Book

4. Uh Huh!

5. Allegiance

6. Old Friends 4 Sale (re-recorded version)

7. Well Done

8. I Wonder

9. Hold Me

10. The Voice

11. 5 Women (Original version)

12. Love Thy Will B Done

13. Get Blue

Like I said, not all blues, but it has a very nice lo-fi vibe to it, which is nice.

blah blah blah

I like the idea, but I always prefer an album of various styles, which is what got me into Prince in the first place.

But, if he did such an album, I would include songs that would have to be really seriously reworked to even sound like the Blues...But Prince could do it:

The Ride

Five Women

Old Friends 4 Sale

Blue Light Blues

The Other Side of The Pillow

Avalanche

I Love U, But I Don't Trust U Anymore

Computer Blues

Bambi

With You

Condition of The Heart

Strange Relationship

A Million Days

1992 Symbol album. just added the word Blues, to turn a reggae song into a blues song.

The only blues song I've heard from him is The Ride.
