Don't it make you feel bad When you're tryin' to find your way home, You don't know which way to go? If you're goin' down South They go no work to do, If you don't know about Chicago. Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good, Now, cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good, When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move.

Going down... going down now... going down.... . Citer Link to post Share on other sites
Seneque 10 Posted March 3, 2011 Author Partager Posted March 3, 2011 Merci pour les videos (quoi que je n'arrive pas à les visualiser directement à partir du forum).. Je connaissais la version de Led Zep mais pas l'originale par contre .. Pour le blues de cette epoque je suis surtout resté bloqué sur le grand (que dis-je ? l'IMMENSE ) Robert Johnson ...

Clapton, Page et beaucoup d'autres considerent Robert John comme le pere du blues dont ils se sont inspires et pour qui ils ont beaucoup d'admiration.

Seneque 10 Posted March 3, 2011 Author Partager Posted March 3, 2011 Magnifique, sublime, prenant, émouvant ... je n'ai pas assez de qualificatifs pour cette musique du delta du mississipi .. Le blues est une musique qui me donne la chair de poule. Quand j'ecoute robert johnson, john lee hooker, muddy waters ou buddy guy je suis sur une autre dimension. Merci camarade, content de voir quelqu'un qui a les même gouts.. ;) Citer Link to post Share on other sites
