Muddy Waters Folk Singer

First time I ever heard this album....my friend let me borrow it. I just so happened to have a bag of shrooms on me. So, I indulged myself and played Folk Singer.....One of the most unforgettable musical experiences of my life. I will never forget it. It really is a good album though.....

Check out a movie called Cadillac Records if your into Mud.

I just hope we continue to see some great bluesmen in the future but I cannot see the future ever producing a John Lee Hooker or another BB King or a Buddy Guy or going back further Muddy etc. I guess part of it is a generational thing - these guys really came from humble beginnings and had so much to say when they played - maybe I am being unfair on the newer talent coming through.

The social conditions that produced the Blues no longer exist. I am afraid all the real blues recordings have been made. All we can look forward to is better technology to remaster them. I have a map of the state of Mississippi, that shows the birth place of well known bluesmen. I was stunned. There just has to be more bluesmen from the MS delta, than the rest of the country combined. It truly is a music from the delta.

Sorry Rok2id, Bessie Smith was belting out the blues with a big band before the delta players you refer to had picked up guitars. Delta blues is one subset of the blues but just one. There are many more varieties and lots of good blues still being played.
