Nobody does love songs like the old blues men, often times rather dirty, frequently painful, but always deep and interesting. The kind of love adults have, not something a 12 year-old girl would be able to connect to.
Oh yeah.
I'm partial to the "love" songs of Lightnin' Hopkins, Son House, John Lee Hooker, Skip James, Big Bill Broonzy, Muddy Waters, Albert King, and Howlin Wolf. ....among others.
Too bad they're all gone now. .....although Otis Rush, Buddy Guy, and James Cotton are still with us.
