How does the Blues music affect your life today?

There is a lot of current blues musicians that deliver. Commercial radio ignores this so you have to go to places like Youtube to hear what you are missing.

now, I havent heard a good blues song today.

I like it. Try Stevie Ray Vaughn's music and see what you think.

Hi,blues music makes me feel free and happy,it doesn't matter if its old blues or modern day blues.My favourite blues is hard rocking blues eg-SRV,CHARLIE MUSSELWAITE,BONDI CIGARS,CHRIS WILSON,JIMI HOCKING(the last 3 are Australian).Some people say blues is depressing but for me it takes away my cares and woes,takes me to another place,i just get lost in the music.Its my escapism from everyday life.I attend a blues jam once a month. I have it on in the car or on the stereo at home.I'm sure many people feel the same way.Hope this helps.

Blues music is something you have to be able to recognize and feel the music. In all you have to have been in the situation then you can feel the music. Is is my favorite. If you can try to listen to Sir Charles hes one that is not that well herd anywhere but his songs are good

The blues is still healing today.

Especially for me. Everybody gets the blues, and the music isn't about making you feel sad, but helping to understand WHY you feel sad and to realize you never have to be alone.

The entire human race gets the blues every now and again.

Now, after the long years of guitar playing, I find myself in a blues band and am thrilled for the outlet of it.

Belive it or not it still infulences the music we listen to today! Like the very lovely ;) Amy Winehouse for examle, or some White Stripes numbers. also the bridge to the Foo Fighters "The Pretender" is the basic blues/boogie riff as is the brige to Fergie's "Fergalicious" yeah, really So performers are still useing the blues to express their ideas.. and I still have Robert Jhonson stuck in my head!!

Unfortunately - it doesn't.
