Damn kids, always thinkin' NEWER means BETTER!!

You can't keep eating the fruit without tending to the root.

Starting on the Delta, naturally: Robert Johnson, Charlie Patton, Tommy Johnson, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Sonny Boy Williamson. (NOTE: If Big Bill Broonzy's voice does not result in physical chills, consult a cardiologist IMMEDIATELY)

Then if you must sate the electricity fetish in your overstimulated 21st century ears, move on to Elmore James, Junior Wells, John Lee Hooker and Little Walter.

(WARNING: By the time you get up to Freddie King, Albert King and Bobby 'Blue' Bland, you'll never feel quite the same awe for the Allman Brothers, Clapton or SRV again.)
That concludes today's curmudgeonly music lecture. Download homework at your leisure this weekend.
There will be a quiz.



Dolye Bramhall Sr. and Doyle Bramhall II too.;) Gatemouth Brown........I saw and met him last year. Katrina was too much for him, he lost his house and died about a week after the storm.:|

MARC BROUSSARD!!! oh dear GOD this boy is amazing... you'd probably recognize his song "home" from previews for the show "medium" this summer... anyway he has a major release called "Carencro" i HIGHLY recommend it... though his independant release is more bluesy.. i think you can still get it on marcbroussard.com but dont quote me on that...

for a more raw blues you should check out RAY LAMONTAGNE....this guy is freakin PHENOMINAL
