Memphis Blues Music Remains a Time Honored Genre
Memphis Blues music first appeared in the 1920s in Memphis, and Memphis ever since has been a Mecca for Blues music lovers worldwide. Beale Street, the heart of Memphis music scene, is home to everything from jug bands to jazz.
The sub genre of Memphis Blues music that is Jug Band Blues emphasizes syncopated rhythms and sounds of early jazz and folk songs. Jug bands play on homemade, simple instruments, such as harmonicas, banjos, washboards, and kazoos, and of course, jugs.
After WWII, Memphis Blues music saw the birth of electric instruments. Many musicians flocked to Memphis to the Blues scene with these electric instruments, changing the sound of Memphis blues. The musicians would gather on Beale Street, where there were recording studios up and down. West Memphis saw the same influx of musicians, who would record the most famous and renowned classic blues, rhythm and blues, and rock & roll records. Once of the most famous of these studios was Sun Records, who would also record the likes of Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Presley, among many others.
The beginning of Memphis self expressive music was attributed by a certain sound that became familiar to the colored workers of the cornfields, the sharecroppers. Much of the early Memphis blues music was an attempt to capture the sound of the singing workers. This sound at first was nicknamed the gutbucket blues. Some of the more popular topics of the songs were those of prayer, faith, and life.
Even today on Beale Street, songs are written and recorded in the small studios by artists with their dreams in tow. The streets in Memphis are just as alive today with the Memphis Blues as they were in the 40s and 50s. The clubs and bars in Memphis fill up every night with tourists and people who sit for hours listening to the artists and their music, much the same way they always have.
With all of the new and ever changing genres of music that have come about, people may wonder what gives the Memphis Blues music such staying power. The answer is simple. The Memphis Blues remains such a huge part of tradition in Memphis because it is more than just music. It is an entire culture and lifestyle that gets passed from one generation to the next.
Ever since the Memphis Blues music was born on the curbs of Beale Street, people have been flocking to Memphis to enjoy it ever since. Chances are pretty good that it will continue to be enjoyed and loved for many more generations to come.

What company makes the best harmonica for playing the blues?
I don't want to spend a ton, but I am willing to make this somewhat of an investment. I'd rather buy something I can "grow into" than just buy a cheapo one and need to buy another down the road. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!
Hohner,
The Hohner Marineband harps are one of the most popular for blues if not the most popular. Hohner's Blues Harp MS are good also. Big River harps made by Hohner have plastic combs and are less expensive so make a good choice for beginners.
Some use Lee Oskar harmonica's. There are some custom harp makers but these harps are much more expensive.

Thin Lizzy Tickets for Thin Lizzy + Supersuckers
Thin Lizzy are an Irish hard rock band who formed in Dublin, Ireland in 1969. Thin Lizzy band were led throughout their recording career by bassist, songwriter and singer Phil Lynott, and are best known for their songs "Whiskey in the Jar", "Jailbreak" and "The Boys Are Back in Town", all major international hits still played regularly on hard rock and classic rock radio stations.
Thin Lizzy band's original lead guitarist Eric Bell, who was a fan of John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, bought a copy of The Dandy comic after seeing Eric Clapton depicted reading a copy of its sister publication The Beano on the cover of the 1966 album Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton.
Eric Bell suggested Tin Lizzie, the name of a robot character from the comic, itself named for the common nickname for the iconic Ford Model T car. Bell also suggested they change 'Tin' to 'Thin' to play on the Irish accent's propensity to drop the 'h'.
After a while, Lynott and Downey agreed to the idea and the name stuck, as they thought the confusion was amusing and would create a talking point. For some of their early gigs, the band were mistakenly promoted as "Tin Lizzy" or "Tin Lizzie"
Thin Lizzy band members include:
- Ricky Warwick - Lead vocals, rhythm guitar (2010-)
- Scott Gorham - Lead guitar, rhythm guitar, backing vocals (1974-1984, 1986, 1991, 1994, 1996-2001, 2004-)

- Marco Mendoza - Bass guitar, backing vocals (1996-2001, 2005-2007, 2010-)

- Brian Downey - Drums (1969-1983, 1986, 1991, 1994, 1996-1998, 2010-)
Thin Lizzy has released 14 studio albums so far: Thin Lizzy (1971), Shades of a Blue Orphanage (1972), Vagabonds of the Western World (1973), Nightlife (1974), Fighting (1975), Jailbreak (1976), Johnny the Fox (1976), Bad Reputation (1977), Live and Dangerous (1978), Black Rose: A Rock Legend (1979), Chinatown (1980), Renegade (1981), Thunder and Lightning (1983), Thin Lizzy Greatest Hits (2004).

Largest Free Blues Festival in the World Celebrates 25 Years
Chicago is home to many great festivals and events. One of its greatest is the Chicago Blues Festival, held in Grant Park each June. This year's festival is a landmark celebration for the 25th Annual Chicago Blues Festival. The largest free admission Blues festival in the world, the four-day festival offers the best in national, international and local Blues entertainment on six stages with more than 70 performances, preceded by a month of Blues activities, known as Blues Season, throughout Chicago.
In commemoration of the 25th Annual event, the festival will not only feature a quarter of a century of the blues festival highlights but also celebrate the centennials of Louis Jordan, Tommy McLennan, and Blind John Davis. Throughout its history, the festival has presented countless number of blues notes and moments to millions of blues fans from around the world on Chicago's popular lakefront park. Chicago Blues Festival honors and keeps alive an important part of the city's heritage. The city's first Blues festival in 1984 helped open the Chicago summer festival season and came a year after the death of Muddy Waters.
Through the years, the festival has celebrated many benchmarks and celebrated the men and women who lived their lives playing and singing the blues. Where else have blues fans been able to watch as Chuck Berry shared the stage with Keith Richards, did circle dances with Janie Hunter, or John Lee Hooker performed a "Boogie chillen'" solo for a crowd of hundreds.
The 25th Annual Blues Festival will deliver the same snapshot moments crowds have come to expect. Crowds will receive the royal treatment on Friday evening, June 6, with headliners Koko Taylor and her Blues Machine, Eddy "The Chief" Clearwater, and a special set honoring the past, featuring Ruby Andrews, Cicero Blake and Jackie Ross.
The Queen of the Blues, Koko Taylor, is no stranger to Chicago, which she calls home. Known for her rough and powerful vocals, Taylor has recorded for Chess Records, and most recently with Alligator Records. She has won more than 25 W.C. Handy awards and performs more than 100 concerts annually. Her talent has influenced powerful female musicians such as Bonnie Raitt, Janis Joplin and Shemekia Copeland.
Eddy Clearwater is a versatile Chicago blues performer who has been nominated for and won several W.C. Handy awards. He is known for his stage performance as a showman, which includes his left-handed upside down guitar playing. On Friday evening, he will perform with the entire cast of his newly released CD, West Side Strut. The project features Billy Branch, Otis Clay, Jimmy Johnson, Lonnie Brooks, and band members of Ronnie Brooks (son of Lonnie Brooks), along with Eddy's band mates. Chicago Blues Festival fans will be fortunate to see these greats playing together on one stage at the Petrillo Music Shell for one memorable night.
On Sunday evening, June 8, Chicago is in for a royal treatment with an appearance by Blues legend, B.B. King. The festival's final night will be majestic with headliners that also include Little Willie Littlefield, Bobby Parker, and Karen Carroll with Charlie Love and special guest Lurrie Bell. Known as the King of Blues, B.B. King has graced the stages worldwide, and at age 82, he continues to tour as often as he did in his youth. King last played at the festival in 1988. With one of the most identifiable styles in the music business, King has influenced a myriad of talented musicians, including Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and George Harrison.
The Chicago Blues Festival has grown tremendously in its 25 years and now features more than one hundred performances on seven stages and extended hours of 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Chicago Blues Festival is known world-wide as one of the biggest and best Blues events on the planet, drawing hundreds of thousands of people from around the world to Grant Park, year after year.

I want to learn to play the blues tune in this song on acoustic guitar in the easiest way possible...?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oM32RxwAycs --- theres the typical blues tune in this song but i want to learn to play it on acoustic, who can describe what to play? Also if you could tell me how like this " index finger on 3rd string, hit twice" for example, that would be great.
Your question is kinda hard to understand. That song is bad to the bone by george thourogood. He plays it with a slide in open tuning , probably open G. You can play it on acoustic the same way. May not sound too great but you can do it. Your tuning would be G , B, G, D, B, G from high to low. Experiment with it and find your own way to make it sound good. Improvise man , Thats' what blues guitar is all about. Good luck to ya!
