Yep, I grew up on the blues, learned to play em on the guitar and bass and even though I have become the stereotypical rap/hip hop listening college student I still always come back to the blues. Anybody else? Gotta love some B.B. King, some Stevie Ray Vaughan, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, some Jimi Hendrix (yes he played the blues) etc.

I don't listen the the Blues....but I watch them play in person and on tv.

There's a great blues bar up here in NYC called Terra Blues. Always have a good time there.

http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/rotflol.gif http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/applause.gif Soooo true!

Yes Devil I was raised listening to blues as well.. My dad was a HUGE fan. I have a whole hard drive full of all sorts of good stuff. If you ever want something you dont have or cant find let me know http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif I'm partial to the Mississippi/Delta Blues and Chicago Blues (Lightnin' Hopkins, Big Bill Broonzy, Muddy Waters, Harvey Mandell, etc.). Most early rock'n'roll was directly ripped off from the original black acoustic blues musicians.

http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif I've been trying to find a copy of "I'll Never Love Again" by Harvey Mandell (http://www.jazzreview.com/article/review-4242.html) for about the last 20 years or so. It was a track on a Chicago Blues compilation album I got rid of when I switched to CD's back in the 80's. Me = Dumbass for getting rid of all that precious vinyl. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/bitchslap.gif

Most if not all. Same thing w/more contemorary stuff too.

My buddy's son was washing his car listening to Zack Wylde and Sonic Brew. I asked him if he liked the blues. His response: Naahhhh....that shit's for geezers like you.

Ahhhh the ignorance of youth. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/rotflol.gif

http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif Tanks, meng! I doubt you'll find it though. I've looked everywhere - even CD Universe doesn't have it.

not a big blues fan and i'm mad that my local radio station is all blues on Sunday nights (The Sunday Night Blues with Beef Stew) from 6 pm until midnight. That's the night I'm almost always listening while either working in the garage, driving limo or doing housework. Seems to me they should shorten the show to like 2 hours or something. After all it's a rock station.

I love blues! I think that's why I'm such a big fan of a lot of blues based classic rock. I tried to teach myself blues harp, but with no one to show me stuff, I kind of hit a wall and didn't progress any. There seems to be very few blues harp people in the world! I was a huge SRV fan. I have his last live appearances on VHS (Sound Stage on PBS). I like some of the stuff Johnny Lang does. I used to think he was a poser, but after seeing a live performance on TV, I changed my mind. Remember Jeff Healey? He did a tune called "Blue Jean Blues". Check it out if you haven't heard it...

NOPE!

I'm listening to Omar and the Howlers right now

Jesus Christ. I'm older than some of you and I don't know of ANY blues bands. Get with it!!! http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Rhythem and Blues is one of my favorite types of music. Aint No Sunshine is a good one.

Yes. We have a pretty cool little blues bar here Stevie Rays. I like BB King, Muddy Waters,ZZTOP,Allman Bros and others

The blues rule. Roy Buchanan http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/punk.gif Muddy Waters, BB King, John Lee Hooker... too many to list.

Saw BB King a couple years back. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/icon_rant.gif

I did a search for that Harvey Mandell. Found one song (Mad Dog) on Lime Wire, nada on Napster and even a google search only brought up one site that had his name but a search on that site didnt even have any of his music http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

I listen to Bluegrass does that count http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

99% of any type of music w/ a banjo and/or a fiddle is a http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/nono.gif in my stereo. Pretty much only thing w/ a fiddle I like is that Devil Went Down to GA song.

http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif Bluegrass rules. Wish I had more knowledge about it & knew a decent radio station that played it. Went camping up in the VA Highlands a couple years back and found a great bluegrass radio station - nothin' better than sitting next to a campfire, burning a stick and listening to some sweet bluegrass music. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/punk.gif

People do not give the blues the repsect and recognition it deserves. Most people would never guess that RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE uses mostly blues scales in their songs.

I love me some blues, there's a blues joint here called the Rusty Nail and I haven't been in forever. I need to go, I ned to pick the guitar back up.
