I am a fan of all types of blues and trust me it and dyin we only multiplyin. I am a college student and love the blues, it is a part of me, I listen to the -Sirius blues station non-stop. Led-zep is pure blues. The Blues is real, visceral, un-contrived. It is the next generation of musicians that has to realize where the blues has come from, where it has gone, and take it into the future. Always reinventing, always moving forward, but always staying true to the roots of the blues. The blues can survive the latest barage of bad music being spewed forth from the record company's because it is real. Everyone feels lonley, depressed, happy, or mad, and the blues makes these emotions almost tangible. You don't feel depressed after listening to the blues, it brings you through your emotions and dumps you out on the other end feeling cleansed and ready for the next challenge.
bucknuts1870 Reviewed by bucknuts1870 on . The Blues I started this in the Other Music section but I am pretty sure it goes here... The Blues; American as apple pie; American as, the blues... Who here is a blues fan(atic)? It is personally my favorite genre of music to listen to and to play. It is moslty all I play as a guitarist, and 50% of what I listen to. Some of my favorites are: Ledbelly, SRV, Albert King, John Lee Hooker, Muddy, Joe Bonamassa, Jimmy Reed, lightnin' Hopkins, etc., etc. So who are your favorite artists? Songs? Rating: 5
