AMERICANA | Traditional Roots & Blues (only)

Let s face it

I don' look like I used
Can't walk like I used
Cain't love like I used
Now things have changed
And I done got old
I caint do the thangs I used to do;
I'm a old man"

 
In my opinion, R.L Burnside´s best album.With some exception I m not a big fan of electric blues in general; Also perfect timing , i was trying to explain to my bandmates why I am so obessed by acoutic blues and the thing is is UNIVERSAL, like no other music will ever be, and is a tool with which you can talk about anything, from Jesus to drugs and booze, and it will ALWAYS work. Today I ve played this one to a guy who has sever depression and does not know a word of english and ...he felt better. And we ve never met, probably will never meet, still we got this connection . Dunno whether is the mix of morphine coke and booze with a xanax to finally go to sleep but there ´s definitely something that the blues has and other bmusic lack. Maybe because , as Alan Lmax said, Poor s boys long away from home described perfectly the general condition of the humanity of the XXI century? Here s trhe song I ve played to the guy (obviously in a simplified version)
