More than ever we need to be reminded what BLUES is really like.
As we continue to lose the legends, Albert King, BB King, Stevie Ray, Albert Collins…it seems more amazing than ever when you go back and discover the true great blues guitar legends and how in-tune they were to the feeling in a song.
Today’s generation of lip-synch, electronically created music, at its best, takes creativity – we have to give kudos for that…but not for a minute does anyone believe there is the degree of feeling, emotion and GUTS in just 60-seconds of a song like this one from Albert King.

Absolutely love the key of B and nothing beats a slow blues in Bm – there’s something about it being peaceful and soothing at the same time as powerful and uplifting.
Here’s a track I cut this afternoon that I have called “Slow Burn Blues” because it sizzles along to this solid backing track.

Oh yes, stuck a couple of lines of voice in there too…off the top of my head, will have to sit down and put something meaningful together for the next rendition.
