The War Blues Playlist





Back in the early days, besides singing about hard times and love, bluesmen also sang about the tragedy of war. Indeed, the big boom was the 'post-war blues' of Chicago, but besides WW2 there was the Vietnam War as well.

I compiled 7 songs about war for you, please enjoy! (the blues, not war)



1- Lightnin' Hopkins - War News Blues



2- J.B. Lenior - Vietnam




3- John Lee Hooker - War is Over 



4- Junior Wells - Vietcong Blues




5- Muddy Waters - Herbert Harper's Free Press News




6- Big Joe Williams - Army Man in Vietnam




7- Big Amos Patton - Going to Vietnam Blues
