Primal Scream's Riot City Blues album is the only style of blues I can stomach, it having a manic twist and is brilliant to have on in the background on hot & sunny days 👍

What's your point, caller?

More politely: to which kinds of 'styles' of blues are you referring?

All blues makes me depressed. This album (whilst not strictly the blues, I suppose) is awesome, with the exception of Sometimes I Feel So Lonely which is something of a compelling downer.

Blues music originates (as I assume - and/or hope - that you know), from the black working class in the Southern (*) US. It's real, and it reflects their struggles.

(* And later, e.g. in Chicago, from the necessary movement of that same working class.)

I still have no idea what point you are trying to make in your original post.

"The blues isn't about feeling better. It's about making other people feel worse."

What even John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf?

The Blues ...

Waking up with a hangover and wondering why your lass has dumped you.

What was the first line of that old standard "Student Blues" again?

Oh yeah:

"We-e-e-ell I woke up this afternoon..."

Thought this was gonna be about Cardiff!
