It's okay, but I don't have much to say about it.
I'd rather just listen.

Probably the 'Greatest One-Riff Song Ever'. Timelessly beautiful baseline as well. I'm impressed.... many people have heard various covers but not the original.

Nice. Don't think I'm gonna find any artist I don't know there, but I'll talk about blues with anyone.

I know Blues, but not nearly as much as I would like to. I listen to some Stevie Ray Vaughn, I got the complete Robert Johnson, and I also hear some Blues every now and then from artists I don't know, but I don't have an abundant collection of it like I do for jazz and rock. I haven't heard too much, but from what I have heard, I love it. So, if any of you can give me some good stuff that'll be greatly appreciated (mainly I want the names of some good albums).

wtf? i'm disappointed that no one has even mentioned bo diddly. if not outta interest then at least outta respect for the man T_T.
but one of my top favorites has to be oak cliff T-bone. some might know him by T-bone walker. i just like to call him by oak cliff T-bone because it pays homeage to where he originally started and its where i'm from ^_^.
oh yea, and its not really to hard to know the blues. it generally follows a very strict musical pattern as well as a strict lyrical pattern. if you shot a man in Memphis, its the blues. if you shot a man in Memphis and he lived, then its not the blues.
