If you’ve seen us perform or listened to our album, you know we love The Blues. Most Southern Boys just can’t help it. It’s deep rooted in our culture, and in ourselves as musicians. There’s a lot of Louisiana Blues musicians we could look to, but today let’s take a look at our sister state to the West. Straight out of Houston, Texas, ZZ Top is one of the most recognized blues artist today.
I love it when one song blends into another. When done correctly, it hits you just right. Looking back, these songs that we’ve picked for today are the first ones I can remember having an early impact and awakening me to what can be done to flow into a second song. And, even though this example may be more of an abrupt change than what we hear a lot of other musicians do – usually flowing into a song by having the last note and first note of the songs be the same without any rests – this just goes to show that there’s “more than one way to skin a cat”.
