Question hey i was just wondering what is blues like is it kool and what are the different types of blues
Answer Hi Ramodrick,
Blues is Kool! The faster moving songs will pick you up when you're down, the slower ones will mellow you out and relax you. An example of a fast moving one is "Sweet Home Chicago" (from the Movie "The Blues Brothers"), a slow one is "The Thrill Is Gone" by BB King. You can give it a try by listening to WDCB on Saturday night, www.WDCB.org, at 7pm Central time (That's 0000 UTC Sunday if you're outside the States). Let me know if you have further questions! Thank you for this question, I appreciate it! Regards, George
