What's Your Favorite Blues Line?
Must be thousands of them.
Not the best stanza or the best song lyrics, but just the line.
.
A big fan of Mississippi John Hurt, I was playing one of his tunes, CC Rider (Easy Rider) on my guitar yesterday.
Here's one of my favorite lines:
.
"Ain't no more potatoes, the frost have killed the vine..
Well, the blues ain't nothin' but a good woman on your mind." - Ma Rainey(?)
.
Another:
.
"Lots of people talkin', few of them know... the soul of a woman was created below." - Led Z
.
Oops, maybe not Ma Rainey...but Chuck Willis?
