Hi. I have posted a few times on this board looking for band members. I am interested in setting up a blues band. because let's face it, blues is the master genre of music. if interested, please let me know if you are interested.

as blues is a pretty wide genre... what sort of stuff would you cite as influential?

As Jon Spencer of the mighty Blues Explosion (quite rightly) says: "I don't play no blues... I play rock 'n' roll. But the blues is number one!"

Check out:
A Ass Pocket O' Whisky (R.L. Burnside w/ Blues Explosion)
Hooker "N" Heat (John Lee Hooker w/ Canned Heat)

Some classic old-skool-meets-nu-skool blooze. You'll never look at it the same way again.

Oh yeah, and pick some Hound Dog Taylor stuff.

John Lee Hooker, Buddy Guy, Muddy Water and of course, B B King.

I play bass and have done for about 5 years. would you be interested in setting up a blues band? i've been in a few bands, usually only helping out though because i never used to have the time to committ but i do now!
