Brain fade on my part, Fistful. I did mean to say "rural."
But there's a great side to the urban blues as well. Don't know if you've ever been to Memphis, but Beale Street is the place to go.
If you haven't been there, check out the Rum Boogie Cafe. Every blues artist of any fame has played that bar. They have guitars from some of the greats hanging on the walls.
And, of course, there's B.B. King's club. Pretty $$$ just to get in, and the food and drinks are expensive, too. But we've seen some great bands play there.
