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.

Bold Chicago Blues powerhouse music
It's a great Sunday evening here in the historic state of Georgia. Sun's out and the flooding has gone for which we are thankful. Harmonicas with their bold blues music edge...well, that's what I needed today. Had to have some Chicago blues. Decided to listen to some fine, kickin' blues harmonica work from the magnificent, so exciting artist, Little Walter. The guy has the potent, Chicago blues sound wailing out so perfectly. His number called 'Juke' and another with the name 'Fast Boogie,' well Lord, the man can really rock out as the old-time scribes used to say. The man's music is so pulsating, so just right. Little Walter can enliven one's whole soul. That big sound of Chicago is so inspiring for us all.

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.
