Thank you for this article. It restores my faith, as there is nothing quite like the Blues in the world of music. To get a sense of it try listening to Muddy Waters Rollin' & Tumblin'.
Be great if Steemit had a podcasting feature or perhaps there is a You Tube vid featuring this song.
When listening to the Blues, the real Blues, we are pulled into an alchemy of enchanting experience that weaves the harsh notes of poverty, racial hatred, and the echoes of The Civil War into melodies of bone shaking enjoyment.
It is rooted music that brings joy and rapture to anyone who can identify its lyrics or rhythms, but above all to the sons and daughters of The American South that cherish it.
