I can't stand the blues

Can't go wrong with Howlin Wolf.

You can if you try to wear him like a hat.

I beg to differ. My grandma wore him as a hat to church every Sunday.

Her trapezius muscles must have been breathtaking.

As an accomplished yogi, Howlin Wolf was able to levitate.

Hello,

Shouldn't this be titled "I can't stand them blues"? Just curious...

Ahh shit, been getting back deep into the blues. Old pre-war shit and the delta blues revival stuff that Fat Possum was digging up for years. I think the first blues CD I ever owned may have been R.L. Burnside's Mr. Wizard. This track is still a fuckin' banger after all these years:

I can appreciate it and accept it as an art form, but I still don't like blues or jazz. Speaks nothing to me. Now reggae is a different story, I've been hooked on Reggae since I first saw the movie poster to The Harder They Come, let alone the movie. Reggae speaks volumes to me and I can relate. It is the healing music, the sufferer's music.

Fucking great Flex.

One thing I miss about Maj and Kaleb's podcast from like 10 years ago was Kaleb occasionally mentioning old blues tracks that I ended up really enjoying:

[Low Down Low]

I like the blues, both old style delta and white man variants, though not particularly knowledgeable about it. Nice to have thread resurrected, some good tracks posted and even one or two mentions for the truly awesome Rory Gallagher. Love it.

[revbob]

Yeah, but the Stones and Yardbirds mixed pop sensibilities into their blues, that made them much more palatable (to me).

So, you dislike Blues except when you like it.

Well, there is exceptions, I must admit. But it's usually "blues mixed with something" that I like. Say, AC/DC who have the hard rock edge or the poppy British blues of the sixties.

Yeah, but technically Clapton is "blues mixed with shit."

Wolt cleared up this topic several times as seen above

[Low Down Low]

AC/DC a pretty decent shout imo. A lot of the focus understandably on Angus, but for me the key was always that tight blues based rhythm section. And Bon could sing the blues proper when he wanted to, Brian maybe not so much.

Dr. Feelgood.

Yeah, some really great electric blues rock tunes on those early LPs. I think if you just know the radio hits, you get surprised at how bluesy the deeper catalog really is.

[Dr. Medulla]

Really, since Gira started up Swans again, they've been doing blues (often channeling the Doors) (play "A Little God in My Hands" as an example).

Somebody officially remixed a lot of Burnsides tracks into , at least 2 album, "A Bothered Mind" and "Come on In". Worth checking out if you're into that thing
