The Blues pages will take delight in the Blues including its history and the the people who play the blues.
Blues is probably the most important music in the world in terms of spawning the creation of most of the modern music heard in this century: Country, Jazz, Rap, and Rock (and all of Rock's children: Punk, New Wave, Disco, Metal, Alternative).
Robert Johnson

B.B. King
I have a great interest in the history of the Blues, its origins in Africa and Europe, its development in the churches and cotton fields, its migration from the deep south to Chicago, its recognition in England, its import to America by British artists, and a new appreciation by American music listeners and the emergence of great new blues talent.

Review of an Eldorado Kings show
Susan Tedeschi

Recently completed a successful tour last year warming up for Buddy Guy and B.B. King. I saw her in Boston (actually Somerville) in October '98 at a place called Johnny D's. Awesome!
