heather: check out the blue worm in memphis tennessee
lavirosa: Me sad. I love Ray Charles.
pete: it's one thing playing them differntly it's another playing them badly
lavirosa: Yeah you would think he'd want the full Robert J experience with the covers, but maybe what he was shooting for was an moderazation of R.J's music rather than just playing the songs like R.J. Maybe he felt, he couldnt play those songs as well as R.J so he choose to play them slightly different.
pete: I agree with you Lavirosa, but on the unplugged album he done a fantastic job of covering Robert Johnson songs. The biggest dissapointment for me was the his new album was recorded with a eletric guitar and a band.
lavirosa: I guess the reason why I wanst so dissapointed, was becuase I didnt expect too much from him. Clapton is just not a Blues Musciain. He's a great musicians in his own right, just not a right fit for the blues.
Pete: Eric Claption new CD was a huge diapointment to me. I thought the magic was lost with Claptons interpretation.
lavirosa: Its cool. dont worry about it. Anyways, I freakin love Robert Johnson. He was so young and so talented. Its hard to belive a 27 year blues man could be such an Icon. Its too bad he died so young too.
pollygirl: sorry, that was me.didn't mean to post as an anony mous x
Anonymous: It's got to be worth hearing. Robert Johnson is such a strong influence on so many people. Hell hound on my trail sends shivers down my spine. I love it.
lavirosa: no not yet, ill probably sample it sometime this weekend. Im kinda curious of how Eric Clapton sounds singing Robert Johnson
lavirosa: Thats Buddy Guy a month ago in Boulder Colorado at the Fox Theatre.
Tim: Has anyone heard that Eric Clapton Album yet?
Mia: Well cool. This is a great idea, becuase I dont know jack about what going on in the blues world.
lavirosa: different sources from the net and from friends mostly.
Mia: Where will the news come from?
