I’m trying to make this music a second language.  I’m trying to learn an accent that I already have.  I didn’t grow up as the child of Jim Dickinson, with every advantage to learn this sound.  I didn’t have RL Burnside and Junior Kimbrough and Mississippi Fred McDowell and Kenny Brown to sit with me and personally teach me how to do this.

So why does there music sound more like the Allman Brothers and other generic Jam Band stuff?  I’m not busting on someone because they’re not authentic.  Hell, I’m not authentic.  I’m just upset that the music doesn’t sound better.  Luther Disckinson can play circles around me on guitar.  But the name of his band is DAMNED misleading.

End of rant.
