Buried Alive in the Blues
Big Dave
I found yet ANOTHER theme I've never done - covers! There are plenty reinterpretations of songs written by other people, and it's a long and proud tradition in the blues and other genres. We're gonna genre-hop a little too. We kick off with Otis Rush (pictured) covering BB King's "Gambler's Blues" and then off we go. Dig!
Genre
Blues & Folk & Funk & Jazz & Rb & Rock & Soul
