Who owns the Blues, today ?

Posted on 08/29/2014 8:45:47 PM PDT by Zeneta

I think there was a time in which the left owned the blues but things have come full circle to a point in which we own the blues.

The Blues will never go away and conservatives need to push this into our culture. IMHO

The "Blues" cuts to the core of virtually everything that matters.

I will put forth my modern and somewhat obscure samples, as I hope to see yours.

Hey Bo Diddley (opening sequence from DA Pennebaker’s Sweet Toronto, 1969)

The Doors can be seen in one of the limos (they also played as did Alice Cooper and Gene Vincent).

The last Blues song I wrote was “Stuck here at Walmart”

Was it big in Reno?

No, but you just gave me a great idea for my next blues hit song, Burning Man Blues!! By Smokey Cottonmouth Nixon.

Got to catch Johnny Winter in a 3 piece band at (I want to say) The Lonestar Cafe in NYC, July 4th 1979 (or so)...the man wore out his guitar. Every song played had a 3 minute-plus riff.

Here’s “I Wonder” from Humble Pie (Steve Marriot’s voice makes it):

And here’s the Pie doing “For Your Love” acoustic, set to a bluesy motif (again, Marriot blows it out of the water)

Not sure about today but in 1970 Albert King owned the blues:

Charlie Patton owns the blues - everybody else just rents from him.

Albert King, a former bulldozer operator, is still my vote for the King. Well, he’s actually dead but you know what I mean.

I prefer as much harmonic as possible in my blues...

I had to put this song on here. If it’s not the blues, it aught to be.
