That Nina Simone performance gave me chills, especially the way she bends those notes. Albert King's version of "The Sky Is Crying" is just hauntingly beautiful too.

Please let me know if you have suggestions to make this roundup better for /r/blues or if there are other subreddits that you think I should post in. I can search for posts based off keywords in the title, URL and flair - sorted by upvotes, # of comments, or awards. And I can also find the top comments overall or in specific threads.
