As in, every song I write begins on an acoustic and could have been written at by one of these people. Then, when I transfer it over to my electric, I add a few simple effects and spice up the rhythm a bit. Comes out as something new and I write lyrics to whatever it is. 
Other than the blues, I like a lot of indie, proto-punk, some pop punk, alt rock, classic rock, grunge. Lol the list is pretty vast. |
Well, you did say you are a music addict, so I should hope your list would be long!
I don't know much about the delta blues so I'll look forward to seeing your posts about your heroes. That's nice that you like a genre enough to continue its life in your own music.
The only song relating to the delta blues that I can think of is one I rather like because of the pretty piano. I also like the way the lyrics evoke the sense of a specific place so well. I don't think the song itself is blues, though!
Here it is, anyway:
Marc Cohn - "Walking in Memphis"
