buccaneerparrot asked:


I used to have the XM satellite radio until my subscription ran out. I used to love listening to the old Blues station. There was a song that they would play almost every night and I loved it. I THINK it was by a guy named Super Chikan.
The lyrics went something like
“Oooh it aint the same no more…”
The singer talks about growing up in a crackhouse, there were so many cracks in the wall that they had to stuff the cotton up in the cracks to keep out the rain.
I loved this song, it was true old school Mississippi Delta Blues.
Also anybody out there know of any other good stuff? I’ve already got alotta Robert Johnson and Stevie Ray Vaughn and some Muddy Waters. What else is there?

I got one explanation Chicago blues: What is Cub Koda? bands and names?

“… classic Chicago Blues style was developed in the late ’40s and early ’50s, taking Delta blues, fully amplifying it and putting it into a small-band context.
Adding drums, bass, and piano (sometimes saxophones) to the basic string band and harmonica aggregation, the style created the now standard blues band line-up.
The form was (and is) flexible to accommodate singers, guitarists, pianists, and harmonica players as the featured performer in front of the standard instrumentation.
Later permutations of the style took place in the late ’50s and early ’60s, with new blood taking their cue from the lead guitar work of B. B. King and T-Bone Walker, creating the popular west side sub-genre (which usually featured a horn section appended to the basic rhythm section).
Although the form has also embraced rock beats, it has generally stayed within the guidelines developed in the 1950s and early ’60s. — Cub Koda
