You’re probably right, and yeah I think classic blues is dying unfortunately, but with that said I don’t think the genre is in a bad place. There are still plenty of awesome artists even if they sound more modern.
The musicianship in today’s blues is a whole lot more technical. But that was the beauty of the blues years ago. It was not fancy. Players were not very well educated. It was a true art that could not be taught. It was just in the blood.
Heard of Justin Johnson? If not, check out some of his videos on YouTube. Love some of the old cigar box videos. Fav is Gimme Back My Bullets on an ammo can guitar.

Still gotta get through this one and the new Chance. Hesitant with Chance. 6 years later and I’m still recovering from whatever The Big Day was.
Don’t think I ever listened to The Big Day. Acid Rap is great.
This JID is good.

Yeah you right.
