    Now I know that the popularity of blues has sorta fallen in the past decade or so, partly due to the advent of new talentless music that has flooded the market in droves. But that ain't no goddamn excuse for not having a blues appreciation thread in the Hall. So get your shit together blades, and let's get this thread a rollin'!

    Hope that link works, I've never tried to embed a video before. Note two things - lyrics are about weed, and it's 4.20 long :smoking:

    7/10 -- I liked it, but it just kind of rubbed me the wrong way... kind of hard to explain.

    [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uPIMH1G2dk]YouTube - Kenny Wayne Shepherd @ Antones 2-20-10 Slow Ride[/ame]
    I couldn't find a live version that I really liked, but this is good enough I guess.
