Watching Buddy Guy on Mountain Stage (on TV, during the period they video broadcasted as well) was a life-changing experience. Music became even more important to me after that.
Very cool! I'll have to listen to that soon. I'll go ahead and add the track "Done Got Old" to the Blue Wednesday playlist. Very cool song that I hadn't heard before.
A little bit on the darker side, but bluesy nonetheless.

MAN!! I haven't heard this in a while. Thanks for bringing this back to light. I've heard blues influences in Hozier's work since day one.
I listened to this album nonstop when it first came out. It's been awhile, and I forgot just how good it is.
It's fantastic. The man can jam with the best of them.

I didn't have a song in mind for Blue Wednesday today so I just looked up songs by John Lee Hooker because I was feeling him today.
I already shared "Boom Boom Boom", which seems to be his #1 hit, so here's #2: One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer.

An excellent choice Scoot! Added to the playlist!
Leon Russell was one of my favorites "back in the day" ...

I actually sorta kinda (co)wrote a blues song once. I had nothing to do with the tune, but the words are all mine. The story and the song are here:

What a touching story. Thank you for sharing, Kent. I love that you'll always have that to look back on when you think of your dad.
And that ended up being a pretty cool little tune. I know I've heard much worse! haha..
