Hard to rate anything by Stevie Ray less than a 9!

SRV did not read music, so whoever transcribed that sheet music had one hell of a time. Stevie just felt the music. It flowed out of him somehow. Transcendent. |

The art is in making somebody believe the story you're trying to tell and not every blues artist is capable of that.
So for me blues music is something really unique in the world of music, but like i said, i understand if somebody feels the exact opposite.
So that's another 2 cents...
Probably worth 3 or 4 cents at least. I can dig Stevie, Shostakovich, Thelonious and Thile... good is good. But, music is also enjoyed like a flavor and we all don't have the same palate. And it's OK. But man, Stevie is really delectable ! |

It's a gorgeous cover of a blues standard. How anyone could rate it less than a 6 (assuming they don't have a pathological hatred of blues rock) is beyond me. :) |

. . . was just thinkin' the same thing. It's the blues, beautifully interpreted by SRV and his nasty guitar; I don't see the problem. |
