Do you like my song called "White Man Blues"? |
White Man Blues It funny, but just a wee bit on the racist side - there are plenty of white blues players that are just great - Johhny Winter, Joe Bonamassa, Walter Trout, and lots more. Hahahaha yeah man that was great.. Too funny... It reminds me of a song I think was called "Upper Middle Class Blues": no, but I guess it is truthful for you, so It has that ging for it I guess?. The blues , like country is about being authentic in whol you are, about yourself, it is not commercial music like rock,rap and pop and all the other "popular " radio tunes. people can tell if your genuine in feeling the blues the first line of any song you sing, it's in the character of the sound that gcomes out of you, they can tell if it genuine or not. Remember this," you cannot sing the blues unless you have been drag through the mud in life" you cannot sing what you have to experienced, and sound genuine to others. I do sing the blues, I am white, I don't try to be black, or sound black, I also sing country as well, both forms are extremly similar, and often cross lines back and forth, Johnnie cash and Hank williams could sing the blues, and the father of country music, Jimmie rodgers, was known as the MIssissippi blues yodler, and most of his 120 songs where very much blues and country. the LBues is mostly by blacks in the rural or urban poor communities , about bad luck with women,drinking, the law and relationships, and of course being down and out. country covers the same exact catagories and type of backgrounds, except the music is a little different. both use the repetion style of telling a story, and both are played mostly in 3 repeated guitar chords (E,A, and B7 for the blues, C<F and G for country). Don't wish you where anaouther race, be content with who you are, don't try an copy somene your not like or cannot relate to becuase you like the tune, find you niche, draw on your own llife. BUt if you ain't had hard times, if your heart has not been stomped on a few times, if you never been dirt broke,, well you aint been through the mud, so just enjoy listing to others, and keep you tunes to yourself No, I didn't really like it much. Whether you realized it or not, the lyrics had some racist overtone to it. More than that, it was just bad blues poetry....you indirectly ripped off Muddy's "Hoochie Koochie Man" during the next to last stanza. |
