It's ten years ago now, but I still count that as contemporary.

 

[Killing Floor]

If you have to ask…

I do love the blues. I collect the Alligator and Blind Pig 5 year compilations. Lot of great music. I thank SRV for steering me back into the blues.

Going to see Buddy Guy tomorrow. Last time I saw him he was younger than I am today.

Cheers,
Geoff

Have another bluesman to check out. His name is Mike Zito. Real good stuff.

I have always loved the blues. Buddy Guy on my list to see if I get the chance. Lots of great blues artists many mostly gone, or long gone; SRV, Howling Wolf, Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, Freddie King, Albert King, BB, then going back farther of course Robert Johnson and his contemporaries for the Mississippi Delta. So much blues so little time.

Check out Kingfish if you are not yet jeeped in.

It don't get no more contemporary than a 20-some-year-old kid with a flipflop Strat shredding on some blues, baby!

Buddy is a Fort Worth boy who made good. He's a classy player and singer who plays with respect for the ones who have gone before.

I like blues, I used to love the blues, but it has become a style that has been beat to death. Very predictable.

Haven’t heard any contemporary Blues that impressed me. Like Country, I’d much prefer the classics: Muddy, Hank Williams, Howlin’ Wolf, Johnny Cash, Robert Johnson, Waylon, Hound Dog Taylor, etc. The new stuff just strikes me as a retread of better days gone by.

Kinda like comfort food...?

Most, if not all, genres are predictable and repetitive. The Blues has impacted Rock, Country, R & B, Pop, and so on and so on.

Where would Clapton, Page, Hendrix, Beck, and countless others be without the Blues.

I love the Blues as much for what it's not as I do for what it is.

The blues can make you happy, too.

Muddy Waters.

So many Blues tunes and Artists... and in this case I really mean "artists", not just performers.

So... have this classic:

 

[black_doug]
