Rock in all of its forms is a derivative of rhythm and blues, the blues and country music so there would be no Rock without Black folks.

I'd put him right there with Miles, Trane, Clifford Brown, Dolphy, Getz and Brubeck. Actually i'd put him right above them as far as his creativity goes.
I'd add John Coltrane to your list but otherwise I totally agree with your post.

Amon Amarth doesn't need soul, they have blood and guts!!!

I've never gotten into jazz but give me some good ol' dirty blues and I'm happy as a pig in ****e.


Son House - Forever on my Mind - YouTube

Just a man and a guitar; compelling and heart wrenching.

How are things in your part of the desert, desertdetroiter?

Thanks for sharing the music not really my kind, but it's relaxing and makes me what to have a glass/bottle of wine, I don't even drink

I like that we took a race baiting thread and made it into something positive. Sharing music is always a good thing, even if some of you lack the taste to realize the greatness that is Amon Amarth.



Good night all. See you in the morning.

I agree!!
The Stones say they were rooted in traditional verities, in rhythm-and-blues and soul music Muddy Water & Chuck Berry. Mick has said he carried the albums around and listened to them a friends houses
