Blues - What you listen to in this genre? Tell everyone about it
My idea with this thread is to start a conversation on the Blues.
What are you listening to? What should we be listening to? What's good and what's not and why? Etc. I will go first - Today on the way home I listened to a few tracks from a CD I have spoken about before. Hope Waits, Hope Waits. I just happened to see this CD while looking for another artist on amazon. I listened and immediately liked what I heard. Songs like Fortune Teller, Crossed the Line, Ring Them Bells, and Ignatius showcase her abilities to the utmost in my opinion. Her voice is very strong, and her playing is also good. Her band comes together as one cohesive group here and really makes for a great first CD. I hope to hear more from Hope soon. The CD is a keeper, and if you haven't heard her yet go to Amazon and listen to the song clips.

While I am certainly a fan of blues, I don't have any music on CD of the stuff...
Live though - WOW. BB King rips it up, and pre-Katrina New Orleans had some incredible street/bar music (sorta 50/50 between blues and Jazz).
