I'm with you. I do like some jazz and had listened to Kind of Blue in my very early 20's. By this time I had already been listening to blues and seeing it live. Muddy "Mississippi" Water's live at age 16 was a favorite and had seen Buddy Guy at 18. Before I was 21, I was seeing Junior Wells and Lefty Dizz as well as others.

A friend recommended "Kind of Blue" who was more of a jazz guy. He was then hanging out with Kyle Eastwood and still does(i'm sure). That's just what they were into. I didn't get Kind of Blue then and have been meaning to give it a listen again, close to 30 years later.

Hardcore blues guy I am. I'm also quite fond of Rockabilly. Outlaw country flips my switch also. Give Dale Watson a listen.

Lately my Saturday nights have been working on my 02 with a killer blues radio program on(like 10 hours worth!), through my vintage Marantz w/ Klipsch speakers. I find it extremely satisfying.

Aja was listened to frequently in my youth and I still see way too much live music!
