Hmm... Luther Wright is tomorrow night...If I can force my attention out of the garden, maybe I'll check it out.(my garden is the great time vacuume from March to October).
And you're right, the mud man plugged into Chicago and made some new kinda blues that directly impacted rock. How about Howlin' Wolf? There's some raw wires. Yikes! Definitely a key contribution. Funny that it took the Brits revering these guys to wake America up.
Does seem that everything comes back to blues- its primal from the heart. Like with jazz- if jazz loses the simplicity, rhythm and emotion brought by blues, in my opinion, it deteriorates to empty chromatic exercizes. Over playing. dweedle dee dweedle dee- it doesnt express anything. Same with rock dogs- you need that true blue foundation. I suppose its like any art that chooses form over content.
