The blues. Blind Willie McTell's Statesboro Blues is one of my favorites, but I couldn't declare any single song the best in any category. For me, it's the song that hits the right spot at the right time. One of my particular favorites is not a blues at all-Jesus on the Mainline. In fact, the artist, Joseph Spence, once said that the blues just never grafted to his head. Hard to believe if you check out his Original 1958 Field Recordings. While there are plenty of tunes that I find an incredible display of notes, it's Joseph's guitar work that simply complexifies my mind!
