i don't think the thread title can't be answered in full w/o writing an extensive work of literature; but in brief, the blues is what's killing your soul, one day at a time, w/o hope. The blues covers all aspects of life love, "womins", money, addiction, etc. It's both a confession of hopelessness and a plead for relief through music.

C.J. Dupree and King Curtis explain it better than i:

Champion Jack Dupree and King Curtis explain it better than I do.

Somewhere, in some out-of-the-way dive (could it be Bob's Country Bunker?) Ms. Danielle Nicole Schnebelen knows what it means to play the Blues.

^^^ Obama, King of the Blues States. ^^^

Black Man in a White House can only sing the blues.[Click to View YouTube Video]But he is surrounded by all the pretty womens in spite of it.

Now that's Blues Power.

Albert, King King. True royalty. Like Alfred, Lord Tennyson.[Click to View YouTube Video]Slow Hand took this one to the bank.

But he is no "poseur." Merely one of the finest living bluesmen.
Blues Power (Live, Johnny Cash Show) Eric Clapton, Derek and the Dominos
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vE2Ilvek4So


It's never Too Late to "keep on keepin' on."
http://musicalstewdaily.wordpress.com/tag/derek-the-dominoes/

Check the thirteen year old playing Layla with the Dominios! Eat your heart out, Ron.

From this link, also, an unfortunate event, one of a series of them, probably, the first being THE USE OF A HAMMER IN A CLEAN HOUSe!

They banned him.
http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/jailed-drummer-jim-gordon-denied-parole-20130517

Jim Gordon (drummer for Derek and The Dominoes, Delaney & Bonnie, Zappa, Joe Cocker, Dave Mason, etc., composer of the piano outro in “Layla” and the man Clapton called the best drummer he ever worked with) brutally killed his mother with a claw hammer.

Gordon had been hearing voices in his head since the mid-70’s, which his doctor attributed to alcoholism and treated him accordingly.

Obviously a mis-diagnosis, Gordon continued a tortured existence, which inevitably led to him bludgeoning his mother.

Gordon was sentenced to 16 to life and is serving his sentence at the Atascaderio State Hospital in San Luis Obispio.

I hear voices, man.
