New Blues

With the general decline of new blues musicians and radio programs that feature the music, it's not everyday I hear a new blues song that really captures my attention that I haven't heard before in one version or another.

Luckily, Rochester is home to a great blues show, "Blacks & Blues" hosted by Doug Curry on WRUR 88.5, Friday nights from 9 - Midnight.  I happened upon this song on the car radio on my way home Friday night that made me smile.

John Mayer - Born and Raised:
Easy listening as a compliment and a criticism.
Over repentance in musical form.

Norah Jones - Little Broken Hearts
When the one who leaves gets to keep the cooler sound of loneliness.
