The Blues (Part One of Many)

I’ve been brushing up on my blues history recently, something I should have done years ago.  I never realized how uneducated I am!  I thought I knew a lot of the old great blues musicians - I’ve barely scratched the surface.

My current Blues Legend of Choice is Howlin’ Wolf.  I’ve been well aware of Chester Burnnett for a while now, but I never went much further than being aware.

Time to get on that.

Also, this is how I feel when I play guitar:

The Wolf.

And in honor of the Wolf, here’s probably my favorite Stevie Ray Vaughan song ever.  It’s Howlin’ Wolf’s Commit A Crime.  Watch it.  Watch it now:
