I’m 65 and have been a blues man since high school. Love this band and style of blues. Great video.

[@faustotorres6500]

Jesus! How competent these guys are!!! It's just sublime! Johnny Winter must be rejoicing now! Congratulations guys! You kick ass! Greetings from Brazil!

[@terada1444]

Wow! when I hear the blues played like this it takes me to a whole different place. So glad it's being kept alive by guys like this. Thank you.

Really, I can understand a little of your feelings. But.... TRUE it is.

Como eu agora, nesse exato momento e sempre quando ouço esse blues ou outro com a qualidade, me transporto p o Mississippi, Detroit, New Orleans, Luziânia, meus deus não me acorde, me deixe sonhar, fujir p bem longe, como no sonho dessa linda música, abraços a todos de fino gosto que curtem essa Arte.😅

Blues seem to tell such a soulfully heart felt story... And when you add singing and a harmonica or any other kind of musical instrument the story becomes deeper.

It’s 2 in the morning, the venue Moe’s Bar and grill, you’ve walked in of the rainy wind swept streets of Chicago, the bar is winding down for the night, just a few stragglers left, along with a couple of duty cops and the odd street hustler and this band playing their last number. Tell me you don’t feel it

Fell in love with the blues when I was fifteen and I will be seventy this year and am still in love . Thank you for keeping it alive , although I am happy as shit but its' melaqncholy and soul prevails not to mention it is really easy to dance to slowly ! Long live the buckle shiners ! Keep up the good work and may God bless

[@tomcooley3778]

Me too,78 next year .

[@terryallen9546]

Good memories. I turned 70 last year. But when I turned 16 and could drive, I'd take my camera and harp and hit as many blues clubs as I could. In the outlying areas of the SF bay area, there were old country granges. Old agriculture meeting and get together halls. I guess dust came up thru the old floorboards. People danced like they were just part of the dust. It was beautiful.

[@jda4887]

Discovered the Blues with Dan Aykroyd's Blues Brothers in 1981, still on it since that day. So many talents singers left to discover !

[@frankiejames6651]

Same here at 15 and as of today 66 and still listening. A good glass of bourbon and the blues. Not for everyone but then again I'm not one of the crowd. Different drum beat.

Met the lead player from Kingsnake on a night in a poorly attended gig. When I apologised for such a low turnout he said it' s just the blues. Just the blues, I love them especially when they are played with this quality. Keep it up.

[@papaldanondo]

Tremendamente bueno ... " La vida es dura " La vida no es fácil Es un largo camino, duro y rocoso Bueno, es perro, vamos perro perro Y la supervivencia del más apto por lo que me dicen la gente No importa cómo lo intentes La vida es dura y luego mueres. Este viejo mundo es un enredo No puedes confiar en tu amigo más cercano Sabes que el diablo viste un vestido azul Y ella está tratando de hacerte daño asta el final No puedo contar las lágrimas que lloré La vida es dura y luego mueres. Sí, es difícil ... [Instrumental] Todo el mundo ... Tiene su propia cruz para llevar Blanco o negro, rico o pobre Tu sabes que el blues está en todas partes (en todas partes) Basta con mantener el accesorio al cielo La vida es dura y luego te mueres.

Nothin but blues, that's the way to go, I could listen to or play blues 24 hours a day. This reminds me of sittin in a sleazy bar with a scantily dressed woman (or several), havin a few drinks and just listening to this great music. Great voice for blues and some great musicians.

My hubbie, who was also my soulmate through and through, passed away in 2020 and he used to joke a little sometimes when he he used to say things like this, maybe in a slightly different version, more like "life sucks and than you die" but hé, it is almost the same to me. It is bittersweet to listen to this, makes me smile and tear up at the same time.............

Ciao

[@ProMachinist]

@@SCACCOMATTO100 Good morning Antonio. Everything seems to be getting back to semi normal or should I say the new semi normal lately. Thank you for asking. Hope you and your family are staying safe. I sure hope that someone finds an antidote for this dreadful pandemic. There has been enough pain and suffering in this world already. Its time for the world to heal and for the people and leaders to unite. The war is against the virus, not one another! Regarding 12BBB, I also noticed that the group are kinda doing their own thing. I'm sure that theres a reason for it. But as you said, the 12BBB left us with an awesome playlist. Theres nothing better than a long drive in the country while listening to great music and that being the 12BBB. Today is a Holiday here so it looks like I'm.going for a drive in the country.. Stay safe my friend.. Regards, Andy..
