The problem is that most people who start out in the blues feel the need to grow and make their own music. That’s not a criticism, the blues players from the 60s and the players from the Stevie Ray fueled blues revival of the 80s did the same thing. Also, the original black blues masters, the keepers of the flame, are just about all gone.
There aren’t many musicians willing to devote a lifetime to mastering the blues. That’s OK, there is always someone making good blues records. I hope that sometime in the future we will have a full blown blues revival, but I doubt I’ll be around to see it.
