I play blues for a living. Literally. All my income comes from playing the blues. I don’t listen to it for pleasure. I do it to survive.

Most blues is boring and why would I listen to what an incel faggot tells me to

where do you play?

soy begone

Where would one start in the blues? 3 entry level albums?

buddy guy n junior wells - drinkin tnt n smoking dynamite

lightnin hopkins - lightnin

WOKE UP THIS MAWNIN

Skip james and john lee hooker r best

robert johnson complete

Son House- Father of Folk Blues

gay bars and children's hospitals mostly

This is pretty accurate. I really like Robert Pete Williams too

You already have a better understanding of the blues than 95% of people alive today.

Is that still true when everyone knows the cliche?

I don't know user, does it?
Do the blues feel real to you?

because i dont like the way it sounds

I do, but your reasons to listen to it are cringe-inducing.

Why don't you go wander the fuck back to /daily/ you pathetic little turd

because

country > blues

Nah, Hoodoo Man Blues is better

Texas Flood, Hoodoo Man Blues, Electric Mud

Lmao you can't make me buddy, I wander where I please.

You're universally unwelcome.

Why not both? Country blues is the shit
Too bad bby.

Howling Wolf - Moanin' in the Moonlight

Country is far more rooted in melody and harmony and the guitar uses major and minor lead patterns. And the lyricism is better.

>And the lyricism is better.
Ehh this one is arguable.

You guys are idiots for believing him

Today's the day I leave forever
This town where we once loved together
Now that love is gone I guess I'm free
I'll leave behind both you and sorrow

And take just what I'll have tomorrow
When there's miles and miles and miles
Between this town and me
This town's not big enough for both of us to be

I can't go anywhere without your memory
In every window pane your face is all I see
This town's not big enough to hold both you and me
I'll drop the dreams I've held so tightly
Shed my tears and travel lightly

Anything to ease my heavy load
I'll find a town in far-off places
Where the windows have no faces
Many miles from anywhere along this lonely road

I'd say Death Letter Blues is on par. Not even mentioning any Jandek material that is pure poetry because people don't consider it to be "blues"

I live in central Texas. I play all over the south though.

The only idiot here is you thinking anonymous posters on here are just like you.

I didn’t ask for this. It just happened

I am.

I have but i find them a bit monotonous. Around the same period we have some superb groovy recordings from jug bands and other early jazz which i much prefer to delta blues. Also the genius here in pic related

I love delta blues but

>speaks up on issues that actually matter
It really doesn’t

youtube.com/watch?v=UuY6NROhCQw

Blues has some of the greatest guitarists who ever walked the earth.

>>speaks up on issues that actually matter
Lmao no it doesn't. PROTIP: It mostly speaks about the same issues that your common trap rapper does: getting loaded, getting rich, getting bitches, and getting even. If you like delta blues then you like over 80% of the content in trap music.

So what should dudes have been listening to back in the 70's? Avant folk?

Delta blues is country blues

Nice but those drums and electric guitar instantly place it to other genres/era

yes, that's why it's not Delta blues, & i'm listening to this instead

Couldnt get your playing together to the point to play jazz. Thats a shame. You deserve the boredom that is your musical life, but then again maybe you sing like motherfucker so thats ok. Jurys out.

Country blues is most often used for the hybrid of country and blues popularized by Jimmie Rodgers and Jimmie Davis.

But blues actually requires some effort to make, and you can really feel what their singing about. Trap doesn’t make me feel anything except annoyance

Jazz is stupid meandering amorphous bullshit though

You haven't listened to early jazz have you?

That's tge only kind I like, but he couldn't make a living playing that today.

Charley Patton - Founder of the Delta Blues

This nigger done said chikusho at 1:22

Well youre one of those guys pretending to know what he is talking about. The truth is they are actually all just playing Charlie Parker licks note for note. No different than blues players all playing the same licks.

I went down to the crossroads
