The Blues - Blues Music Downloads
- The Blues
- Jimi Hendrix said "Blues is easy to play, but hard to feel." - John Lee Hooker proves it. Robert Johnson, Willie Dixon, BB King, Son House and Muddy Waters helped make the Blues what it is today. The Blues spawned many imitators including several noteable white, English musicians, like Eric Clapton, The Rolling Stones, Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin and even Black Sabbath. You could argue that The Blues is the grand-daddy of all rock music.
- Delta Blues
- The Mississipi delta is where the Blues was born, carried over from Africa on the slave ships. The Blues evolved on the cotton fields and over the years spread to the stadiums. Notable Delta Blues artists include; Son House, Willie Brown, Tommy Johnson, Ishman Bracey, Skip James, Bukka White, Mississippi John Hurt, Howlin' Wolf and Elmore James.
- Electric Blues
- Muddy Waters used electricity to turbo-charge the blues genre. This made the sound louder and harder and it was this that turned-on a lot of white kids to the sound of the blues. The Blues is not about color afterall, it's a spirit, which you can't really fake; "I've said that playing the blues is like having to be black twice. Stevie Ray Vaughan missed on both counts, but I never noticed." B.B. King.
