This whole thing is just a ***** joke now... dumbasses thought they were going to create something worthwhile but didn't have the right people in place to think it out up to 5 years ago.
I'd rather walk the Glen itself, one of the most beautiful places on earth.
Who else would you put in this category? If I had to pick anyone it would be John Cipollina. QMS never had commercial success but was a very excellent band. He died at age 45 so who knows what "could have" happened.
The majority of commercial music sucks anyways.
I put on Highway 61 in the car this morning... for nostalgia's sake.
Nice read on Michael Bloomfield, if you are familiar with his musical history... or heard his name and wondered who in the hell is this guy.

There was no electricity involved with the original blues masters...
Oh I agree that the blues "type" of sound is still around but the original blues masters are long gone. I'll take what I can get nowadays... which is usually 60's and up on vinyl. Youtube has a lot of clips of the true blues men too.
The old blues sound has been gone for decades... unless you're listening to 30's, 40's music from way back. What we hear now is watered down, basically "I'm trying to sound like those guys with an instrument made post 1980" or so.
Rolling Stone is a mere shadow of what it once was.
John Mayall.
Prince I find hard to mix into the blues. Fleetwood Mac would have been a better option to compare newer blues. The old blues I don't think many are doing anymore... hard to replicate that sound and feeling.
