There are blues bands in virtually every country in the world, and many of them are excellent.




About a year ago, I recommended an internet station (polskatstacja.pl/Blues) as the best blues program I had ever heard. They've changed and I no longer make that assertion. Part of the reason is that they have shifted more to R&B and rock, with far less diversity than they had before.

The other part is that about a third of the programming is now Polish artists. Most is blues; some is, erm, just . . . different. It is interesting how all the feeling comes through in the True Blues, even in an "unknown tongue." Blues music truly transcends language, borders, and culture.
