Blues legends
Great blues legends today, and that stands for a full hour of great guitar work and rasping harmonicas. Yet, though that's what people first think of with the blues, a lot of the greatest songs in the genre were pretty well orchestrated with horns and a piano, especially in the forties and before. So before the guitars and harps you'll get a blues that is orchestrated like a symphony.
And for the bluesmen and women that go by today, there's always a lot to tell of them. Some are so obscure that we can only speculate whether he is or is not the same person as another as obscure bluesman. Another one is taking pride in the gritty life he had in his childhood. And today there's even a bluesman who found himself a woman in that little country of mine and he left her a child.
