a young bluesman that has a bright futher.dont go talkin howlin,muddy, freddie,bb or any of that just yet.and hey,is e.c.,jimi or stsvie real bluesmen?maybe. maybe in the same way johnny winter,roy bucannon or rory gallagher are.....think about it
stevie is real blues. what the fuck is "real blues" anyway? now john mayor is not a real bluesman, he's all about attention, no longer about the feel of the shit he plays. he's JUST a fan. john playing with bb and eric was all for record sales and shit. but if you're talking muddy waters, howlin wolf, robert johnson, blind lemon as "real blues". i can vibe with the "real blues". i can't even believe you said something like that...
Real blues is Hound Dog Taylor, Sonny Boy Williamson, Magic Sam, Elmore James, R.L Burnside, Robert Nighthawk, John Lee Hooker, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Lightnin Hopkins, Leon Pinson, Hubert Sumlin, as well as others that you mentioned. Stevie is talented, but he over plays and did what to the blues what blink 182 did to punk. if you like guitar look for Earl Hooker and Freddie King. two of which Stevie could never reach no matter how many of their licks he took
freddie? oh i love freddie king! those guitar licks are...something else... and yeah what blink did to punk? i get what you're saying...if that's so then whaddya think of bb king?
@revan107 If BB said John was 'blues' that's enough for me. You can't put these people in boxes..some break the mold. Mayer is one of them. White, musically educated, came from money and playing coffee houses not juke joints and country parties but he gets IT..
A 'bluesman' was/is someone that lives the life..hard drinking, hard living, bunch of woman, bunch of kids, die early..thats a bluesman.
@CoachG1000 Case in point..........the most ignorant statement I have ever heard. The vast majority of these Icons didnt drink at all, many had no kids and several died very old. Most had easy lives cause they made a living. Do your research and stop being a parody of your self. Your very statement puts those people in a BOX. Are you not paying attn to your own thought process.
Awkward Eric. You are one fucked up dolt!
Great stuff here Gary Clark Jr.!!!

What are you arguing about "authentic" for? If you enjoy it, just go with it, your thinking about it too much..
