Good point JHH! I am a fan of Blues also and I think this same thing applies to the Blues, they lived their music in the old days.
I don't think that Led Zeppelin, Stevie Ray, or Kenny Wayne Sheppard ever worried about the levee breaking or where the next meal was gonna come from. Whether it's blues or country, it's in your soul. You don't have to suffer to sing/play the blues; you just have to sing like it
But singing and playing are not what makes for great songs. Lots of people can sing and play. Great songs come from the writing of them. And any great song writer will tell you that they get this through their life experiences.
Ps. I do not think any of those listed are who people think of when it comes to great Blues, 1st off Led Zeppelin in a Rock Band, Stevie Ray Vaughn was blues and rock but mostly all he was, was a great guitarist. Great Blues artist were people like B.B. King, Buddy Guy, John Lee Hooker, T-Bone Walker, and Muddy Waters.
Sorry for going Blues on a Country thread!
