Nobody can tell you how the blues feel unless they have the blues. We all take it differently.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There's no way in the world I can feel the same blues the way I used to. When I play in Chicago, I'm playing up-to-date, not the blues I was born with. People should hear the pure blues - the blues we used to have when we had no money.
The blues brings you back into the fold. The blues isn't about the blues, it's about we have all had the blues and we are all in this together.
When you are through with the blues, you've got nothing to rest on.
Blues is easy to play, but hard to feel.
There were times I thought I was going to turn to the blues, but then I'd hear better blues players.
Sounds like the blues are composed of feeling, finesse, and fear.
To me, blues is more of a feel and a vibe, rather than sitting there and saying, 'Well, I'm gonna play bluesy now.'
The blues is life itself.
I think the blues is fine for blues players, but free blues has never made much sense to me.
You don't have to live the blues to play the blues.
