[mohomoho1]

Erect a shrine to this man America,he is a musical treasure to this country.

[3rdStoneObliterum]

thıs ıs an afro-savannah-chıtlın cırcuıt-psychedlıc form of blues that Blood ınvented, retunıng that axe ın dıfferent ways and gettıng those half tones and harmelodıc madeness.

[nassreiskulturen]

Whats the stuff in the intro?? Is it part of an actual tune? Does anyone know?

[guitarmaan]

Now that is what i call BLUES!

James you are the man, and no mistake.

Amazing music, amazing mojo. Awesome feeling and expression.

Just great!

[MrGutterslide]

Soul, Blues, Heart. Wonderful!

[Unclemoparman]

A wound G string!?

[dalekenjarvis]

That has tons of soul!!

[omerthekat]

Blood is so great.

[scottmontreal]

Blood Ulmer has a unique sound, a combination of drone, melody and rhythm at the same time. Saw him live a few years ago, and he just blew me away. Stunningly beautiful music.

All you have to say is "Thanks, Man".

[scumgod13]

Hell Yes!

[jinalanguniafrika]

blood be doin it!

[DannyDesperate]

Pathetically speechless (you know how it his when you finally meet a hero) after an incendary M.R.E. gig in Wales I nervously staggered over to shake JBU's hand. My own puny bunch of 5 vanished into his massive palm and were then duly held immobile by this guy's awesome grip while I tried (and failed) to find something meaningful to say.

What I meant to say was, "Sir, you are a true musical giant and have helped light up my life over the last three decades."

Better late than never...?

[greencouch18]

You could have said something simple like "I admire you and your music."

[DannyDesperate]

I agree, anything to that effect would have sufficed and on paper seems so easy, but tongue tied and overwhelmed as I was even that was beyond me....

[arttu321]

You're not the only one: the very same thing happened to me last year in Italy - expect that I only had the nerve to hand him my copy of "Black Rock" and a pen for an autograph. :-)

I'm sure I still couldn't find any words to thank him.

[meckerschorsch]

Dope quality for one of the greatest of our time

[wolfamon]

Excellent !

[krkincaid]
