Let's not forget The Blues

[daddyoh70]

Dedicated to those who influenced the likes of Clapton, Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Blues aren't big where I'm from so I never heard a real Blues song till I was about 15, B.B. King's The Thrill is Gone. From then on, every payday was spent trying to find Blues records at the local record store. While I listen to almost any music, it's The Blues that really makes the hair on the back of my neck stand out and really gets my heart pumping.. anyway, here are a couple of my favorites. Hope there are some other Blues fans out there that can appreciate this.

My personal favorite, Buddy Guy
