@hoodooman49 - yes but blues came out of ragtime, jazz, spirituals, etc. as well. such as scott joplin the black ragtime pianist. they were other forms of blues for their time. and blues influenced rocknroll which evolved to punkrock and metal, etc. early rocknroll like wynonie harris was blues-influenced."ragtime"denotes sadness or blues,raggedy times or hard,sad+weary times. i must find the brownie mcghee song "rainy, rainy day" off of a mcghee disc. you know it? its a magnificent blues song.
can you upload "rainy, rainy day" by brownie mcghee? it was used in the moody, sometimes jazz-driven soundtrack of the movie "angel heart," but the song has dialogue out of the film off the soundtrack, and want the song just by itself. do you have this brownie mcghee song, "rainy, rainy day" off of a mcghee disc? it is a most Mysterious blues song.
@MattHungGa John Hammond Jr also has his own title for his version

I love the picture of Brownie looking smooth with his lid tipped at an appropriately rakish angle.

Didn't Little Walter redo this song calling it "tell me mama" it's cool to hear the original.

I agree but it is very good. I saw him live twice live in 1980 with Sonny Terry*****
I like to invite you to watch my BLUESCARTOONS VOLUME 1-3 (JIMMY REED, SONNY BOY II, JL HOOKER).
Hope you have time to watch & enjoy it.
