it’s a well recorded pub blews band… there’s nowt inspiring about his playing and his voice just lacks soul…
I gave it a whirl but my opinion hasn’t changed I’m afraid… there are other, arguably so much better blues artists that were putting out music in the mid 90’s when that was released…
just don’t get the praise for him
I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
My stand outs are 'Reconsider Baby' and 'Blues before sunrise'. Both capture the sound of the original recordings and are played in a very authentic style with nothing unnecessary added.
Wise words here.
Texas flood
sky is crying
zz tops first album
the crossroads soundtrack
just for starters…
you at the sherry again?
Agreed but influenced by doesn't make it the blues.
a white middle class racist from Surrey loved my accountants and middle management types countrywide?
Clapton is insipid corporate blews… it’s uninspired and uninspiring!…
im not judging on “technical ability” either… I’m judging it on musicality… of which there is none… it’s “safe” and about as edgy as a sponge…
really it’s the “anti blues” paint by numbers music designed to fleece the ignorant…
of course, it’s just my opinion…ymmv and all that… I’m just a lover of good decent music at the end of the day…
Billy Gibbons’ name has cropped up a few times - one of my hero guitarists, woefully underrated. ZZ Top were steeped in the blues, Gibbons is very open about that. They *weren’t* a blues band though - rock and roll, country, and their own unique Texas stomp.
Plus Gibbons’ vocal from the 70’s is one I’d give my right arm to have.
You can't tell if it's being played by a white man or a black one.
