When you think of the blues, you think about misfortune, betrayal and regret. You lose your job, you get the blues. Your mate falls out of love with you, you get the blues. Your dog dies, you get the blues.

While blues lyrics often deal with personal adversity, the music itself goes far beyond self-pity. The blues is also about overcoming hard luck, saying what you feel, ridding yourself of frustration, letting your hair down, and simply having fun. The best blues is visceral, cathartic, and starkly emotional. From unbridled joy to deep sadness, no form of music communicates more genuine emotion.
 
I have to say that I appreciate the blues genre, but let's be real - how many of us have gone through the same shit that they have been through? Because I haven't.... I appreciate the form and the stylistic nuisance of soloing but when it comes to listening to an album, I like something more young and fresh. I've been really into h t t p : / / bit.ly/aEtzX7 Joe Bonamassa lately, you should check it out!
