Blues n°1 : LONG LIVE BLUES

Cela fait plus de 6 ans que je m'amuse à rassembler les titres qui chantent le blues (dans le texte...) par des artistes vivants (depuis ils sont parfois décédés) ; ce sont majoritairement des bluesmen (mais pas tous...) et il y a dans ces sélections un certain nombre de clins d'œil que les amateurs découvriront... peut être !!!
6 années soit 6 fois 120 minutes de musique pour rappeler que le Blues reste une source inépuisable d'inspiration...
Long Live Blues!!!!
