"If Larry McCray isn't blues, nobody is."
What is blues music, then? How far does it go before it isn't blues anymore? For that matter, what isn't blues?

@J
Wait a second, weren't you saying that some of the stuff Adam posted wasn't really blues? And now you're asking for the definition of what comprises blues music?
I'm confused.

Really? Don't be. It shouldn't be so confusing, and it also should be quite obvious that I have a pretty specific idea of what blues music is. I've been playing and loving that music since I was 16, and I'm 60 now.
What I'm asking for is opinions. So I ask it again:

Oh, hell. Let's just say that everything is blues music; that's the way things seem to be going.

And I'm supposed to know what is going on inside YOUR head as far as YOUR idea of what blues is?
Self-absorbed much?

I had a long response written up, but decided to edit it down to the following:
There are plenty of black artists playing blues that should be on that list. There are also plenty of white artists schooled by the previous generation of performers that should be on that list. That list is just crap. It's not hard to find these artists. People just need to open your eyes and look.
It's a lot like learning about Blues history. It's not hard to find. You merely have to be open minded and willing to listen/learn.
The original list was lame.

No, you're not supposed to know what's going on inside my head. Do you have a point to make?
I have an idea. Let's not talk to each other anymore, okay?
