Remember when I said white guys can't do Blues?

[Archae]

I completely retract that statement.

Just heard Bryan Lee do "Dope Smoking Blues" on my Pandora AC/DC channel, and he is GREAT!

1. He is good, very good

I highly recommend Albert Castiglia.

2. Ever hear of Chris Smither?

3. As a black musician

I'd agree.

The blues knows no race.

The blues has no boundary.

A not blues band once said "everybody hurts". This is a profoundly huge statement. We all have the blues in us. It's just a matter of time.

4. That reminds me

I have to put down a deposit for the Blues Cruise.

5. I can think of several.

SRV, Clapton, Johnny Winter, And a bunch of others I've heard over the years here in Austin.

6. You never heard Rory Gallagher, then.

OTOH, there's always the classic comment by Sonny Boy Williamson (the Second) on the British blues players: "Those British boys want to play the blues so bad. And they do."

On the gripping hand, Rory was Irish.

7. Sonny Boy with Clapton (Yardbirds)

8. I think Sonny had this in mind when he made his comment:

This is a pretty sad album, but obviously those British boys learned quickly.

9. Has to be the Bryan Lee....

10. Geoff Muldour

11. Stevie Ray

nobody like him

[nolabear]

12. Does guys include girls?

Because I know several. And guys too.

[SwissTony]

13. BB King heard this guy and thought he was black.

Dutch Tilders. A Dutch born Aussie, he was booked to support BB King on BB's Australian tour. BB heard him playing but couldn't see him. He assumed Dutch was black and was surprised when they were introduced.

14. I remember. You got schooled.

I'm surprised it took three years to retract it.
