I've pretty much posted many blues songs over the years on previous threads. Instead of reposting here, I'll just link to a couple of the other threads:

  i think the scourge of music is genre, an excuse to intellectualise music
  
  i have 3 genres, like, dont like and ok
  
  i have, what is considered a large music collection, three generations and growing, yet the only artists from this lot i have are spencer davis and ry cooder, chicken skin music, maybe, is that the blues? listened to a few clips, nothing jumped out as persuable
  
  think i might stick with george thorogood, hes fun
  
  is r n b the blues
  
  nah, sooner listen than write about it
  
  Thanks
