[QUOTE="Big Sky, post: 1230657, member: 3460"] As a teenager, I recall figuring out where all the great rock and roll - especially the British variety - came from: American blues. The blues has been relevant for 100 years and will still be 100 years from now. It's roots are in field songs slaves would sing. Someone once asked me why blues was all about feeling bad. I said I thought you play and sing the blues to feel better, maybe to feel good. Mr. King had a unique style on Lucille that was copied by many. Peter Green and Jimmy Vaughn come immediately to mind. BB was a spare player who could say more with one note than most could say with 100. Not technically brilliant or even flashy with his instrument, he had real taste and feeling. And no one could hold a candle to that voice. A class act. BB is gone but the thrill is not. [/QUOTE]
