A bit of a mystery: why were so many young British musicians of the late 50s, early 60s, so deeply influenced by The Blues - sounds and voices from another somewhat alien culture? Then listen to the brilliance of Skip James singing Hard Times Killing Floor Blues and the mystery is solved.
Wonder if this speaks to kids these days? Sadly, I suspect it doesn't. Happily, I might be wrong.
