My favorite blues track of all time is "Beale Street Ain't Beale Street No More" by the Preacher, the Reverend, Gatemouth Moore. No second thought.

It's the only blues song ever written that's all about the blues and at the same time ain't nuthin' about the blues 'cos it has no wimmen and drinking. It has the loss of a whole street... and that's more than wimmen an' boozin'.

Not only that, it's a masterpiece of blues vocals, and the repetitive but classic blues riff towards the latter half of the song make it an unique track that is a MUST for any blues fan.

Howlin' Wolf may be my favorite blues singer... B.B. King my favorite geetar player... J.L. Hooker the master of both vocals and fingering the six strings... but there ain't nuthin'... an' I tells you nuthin'... like the Reverend belting out some vocals 'bout a lost street!

Cheers! :bottle:

Unfortunately, I don't know much blues.

However and I do know that two of the most stellar people that I've ever come across are way into it. *cough* DG and Loons *cough*

That more than does it for me. I'm only a student though. I know that blues is the most comfortable and truly soulful for me to play on the guitar though.

I love all of the old tracks and wanna learn so much more.

DG got me into Etta James and that voice!!! WOW!!!

Anyhoo, I guess I have too many happy things within my life to really have the blues? However, that music 'tis the best of the best. It's the foundation for EVERYTHING we all stand for and our Toastmaster General.

Soooooo...

I guess I have the blues? Can you dig it?
