I admittedly know NOTHING about what good blues music is, but was once again provoked by Tony to try my hand at it. Here I am, stepping entirely out of my comfort zone to bring you a mix and match collection of blues that have caught my ear along the way and told me "I must have that tune". If they are chronologically screwed up...I apologize. If they are lousy examples of the genre, I apologize. If some of them would not even fit into the category had I consulted a purist or two-= well, the heck with purists. What is here is in my estimation a collection of great tunes that I own because they MADE me own them, not because I went and sought them out- as always, I hope you enjoy them.
