Which one? Riley B.? Freddie? Kaki? And what makes him "better?"

Was blessed well indeed to have seen Albert K and Buddy Guy jam songs like this at a KC Blues Festival or two, and at The Emporium, as well...I am so glad RP serves so generously to keep the unique American Blues experience propagating those sweet waveforms into Infinity and back around again!

Being a white boy from northern Wisconson, you grew up with versions of cream all around you, that's for sure Cheesehead!

A lot of people criticize the British invasion for ripping off american blues artists but if it wasn't for them, I may have never heard this music until much later in life.
Just my 2 cents.

Now as to how we get out from under the Bad Sign; ahhhh, there is the question our more astute listeners and correspondents herein could attempt to answer.

Be clever.

My answer: The human race is totally fucked.


You are quite simply mistaken. The Universe is benign.

And certainly , we humans have quite a lot of work to do.

(I was going to get all clever here, and say "Are you going to help?") But I think you already are helping . {#Cool}

You do have the option of lightening up, if you choose to accept it.

Written by the excellent Booker Jones specifically for Albert. It don't get no better than that!
