For that alone, the Brit Bluesmen should be lauded. And dammit.. Their interpretations were usually inspired and fun an really good stuff etc. Also guffaw, as if Eric doesn't know the blues. Look up his life sometime; if it weren't for Pete Townshend driving his car through the front of Eric's house and kidnapping him to the emergency room, he'd have died of an overdose from the depression he suffered after his wife left him. And we won't even get into losing his young son. |

I don't like this song in any incarnation, but grudgingly, I have to agree with Papernapkin - Foghat's version is the one that sticks in my head. And I do like Muddy Waters' version much better. The song itself makes me want to rip off my own head... Yeah, I know it's old blues and history and allathat stuff, but I just can't embrace it as something I'd want to put in my CD player and listen to while traveling from northern Nevada to Oregon... |

Or you could say the music was preserved and promoted by devoted fans and performers so it would stay alive to be adopted by succeeding generations. |

Question for you aficionados: What is the difference between "Delta blues" and "Chicago blues"? Chicago blues was born from (Mississippi River) delta (alluvial plain from north of Saint Louis to the Gulf of Mexico {farmland}) blues after mechanization made manual labor in the fields not as necessary. Lots of sharecroppers (black and white, including some of my family) moved north for factory and city jobs. Delta blues became infused with some urban themes and urban sounds in the process. |
