The Blues. Oh so much fine music. Doesn't matter who you are, where your from or how much you have. Everyone has been down and out at sometime in their lifes and the Blues is a way to get out of it only if it only lasts as long as your listening to it. This is one of my favorites:
YouTube - Stevie Ray Vaughan Albert King--Matchbox Blues

Long time blues fan here. Thankfully, there is no shortage of blues festivals... if you've never been to one, make time to do so as soon as possible... you'll be very glad you did.
There is probably one within 100-200 miles of you... Festivals | Blues Festival Guide Online BlueFestivals.com If you're not a fan and wondering what all this adoration is about, you should check one out, too... you'll have a ton of fun and meet some great people (the fans)... and you'll find out that blues is much, much more than the typical slow, sad sounding songs that you tend to think about when you hear the word "blues." Early Zeppelin is blues. ZZTop's boogie is blues.

U Boyz all have forgotten that it was a bunch of Brit gits that popularized the Blues to white folks back in the early 60's. Before that it was called Race Music.

My musical tastes have been (politely) referred to as "eclectic" by everyone from my brothers and sister to old roommates to my wife and kids. Scratchy old blues recordings and late '60's through late '70's "prog rock" get equal billing at the top, with equal measures of folk and metal thrown in to keep it interesting. And if that isn't enough, I've begun exploring old jazz recordings. It's all wonderful music... Just no rap or techno, please...

But ever since I bought my 1st true blues LP in 1972: McKinley Morganfield aka Muddy Waters, I have been hooked. I saw Muddy – with Luther "Guitar Junior" Johnson at Toronto’s Brown Derby in the late 70s. The venue was almost empty if you can believe it. Disco ruled at the time – not blues. Ian Edit: OK, I lied. My 1st blues LP was the self-titled Taj Mahal that I bought around 1970.
