T&C Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 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.

With due respect,T/C...for you to bring some of those talents seems a bit odd if you didn't mention John Lee Hooker ...

I know, but you can't mention everyone I guess. Hooker in a way is the last of the old blues guard imo. Savoy Brown. 1

What we hear now is watered down, basically "I'm trying to sound like those guys with an instrument made post 1980" or so.

I don’t agree at all but that is your opinion There are hundreds of styles of different blues but the roots is still alive ... rare but still alive if you know where to look

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.
