Calling all Blues fans,
Been a big Blues fan my whole life, being a guitar player may have something to do with it!
The history is so vast, much music of today is the root of the Blues. I feel many of the early Blues artist never got the credit they deserve unfortunately.
To kick off this thread, any Blues people here want to "play"?
So many artists new and old that I'm not sure where to start, my hope is to learn of artists I may not have heard and maybe spark a new interest in others.
To kick it off lets keep it simple, these folks I would not call old Blues but you can't go wrong with the 3 kings. The 3 kings are Albert, Freddie and BB. My guess BB is the most popular.
It's tough to pick one of three kings I like best as their styles are so different. I'm going to toss out Freddie King as a suggestion to look into, his interpretation and playing is just fantastic, to me anyway. Listen to Sen-Sa-Shun, San-Ho-Zay and can't forget Hide Away. I would say these are not old school Blues by any means, not very "bluesy". My hope maybe this will make you tap your feet and dig in deeper!
What say you, thoughts, any artists new/old you want to share?
