Overview

Most boomer babies as teenagers in the late fifties early sixties had trouble finding music that spoke to them in the wasteland of popular music. If you worked at it you began finding former blues guys like Bo Diddley and Check Berry creating rock and roll and others, Ray Charles, Loyd Price and Fats Domino, polishing it into Rhythm and Blues. Over the years, if you stayed interested, R & B evolved into Soul and Funk. Rock took in dashes of Folk, Jazz and Country and vice versa and splintered into various sub genres and combinations. In the 60's and 70's many artists in different genres included blues songs on their albums demonstrating their support and its foundation. Through the years players like Johnny Winter, Stevie Ray and the Allmans caused you to reconsider the Blues. In the late eighties many of us discovered the blues festival and that some of the masters and new disciples were still performing and in some ways better than all the rest. For many of us we turned a corner. Blues became the primary and all the others, while not disregarded, became secondary. This book is about my journey through this progression with album reviews, connected, connecting, thoughts and opinions.
