It's a shame isn't it?
Back to the article, I do think one point is important, that it's gotten to the point where it's getting really hard to define what a genre is. I mean, look at Joe. Perfect example. We consider him blues, but he's playing hard rock, he's playing jazzy stuff, he's playing Indian music, he's playing country chicken pickin' stuff. It's not the blues that B.B. King played. And it should be mentioned that B.B.'s also not the purest of bluesmen when it comes to playing music. He's very open to other styles of music, he's done funk, rnb, rock, even rap (a duet with Heavy D on Keep It Coming off of Deuces Wild). But the point is that the blues influenced rock and roll, jazz, rockabilly, funk, rnb, and a host of other genres. Well, now those genres are coming back and influencing the blues. So it gets really hard to define a genre. What we get a bazillion subgenres: blues/rock, Chicago blues, Texas blues, British blues/rock, soul/blues, hip-hop blues. So, I do like the fact that the guy from the Black Keys just says to play music and don't worry about titles, because honestly, it's getting harder and harder to classify music. Like for instance, in my iTunes, AC/DC and Chuck Berry are classified as Rock. You can't get farther away in the spectrum of rock than those two. But it's enjoyable, and that's all that matters. That's why you'll see me listen to everything from Robert Johnson to Joe to Stevie to BB to Gnarls to Travis Tritt to John Fogerty to the Foo Fighters. It just matters anymore whether you like it or not.
