Blues Artists Really Rock!

Blues music provides us with so many dimensions. Sometimes the numbers can be so slow that it almost tightens your jaws to listen, but then at other times....The Big Blues music can really take off. One of my favorites in the Blues world is Little Walter. I listened to an old tune of his today called 'Juken' and it was mind-popping. Good tight music. Also, today I dug John Lee Hooker. Getting into that wild, tough guy song...'Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom' was truly Super. What is it about raw blues sounds that really gets us? Maybe, just maybe it's the rugged emotion and splendid passion that comes with this stuff. Little Walter and Mr Hooker are two powerful musical souls.
Blues artists rock.

Nice Writing

THE GOOD terse writing of Ernest Hemingway is a real joy.  He does not use too many adjectives.  His 'Torrents' is a fine tome.
