I somehow feel that "nice feelin'" and "cookin'" has got to take a lot of the real blues out of the blues!

I'd have loved to have seen Buddy and Junior playing in a Chicago club in the 60s BUT if I really wanted to hear really deep, lonesome, nothing to do with showbusiness blues, I have to take a walk back in time to a street corner in Wortham, Texas...

Tunesmith, who said that true Blues must be lonesome? Im sure Etta Baker never though the Blues of her region was "fake blues" or "lonesome".
