Blues Fans: How do you feel about this blues duet?

That's a great song! I like both artists separately and hearing them together is twice as nice. When you say "this cross-genre collaboration", I'm wondering exactly what you are asking. That could be understood in a few different ways. What I'm hearing is what sounds like a typical Texas sounding blues. Listen to Johny Winter and Stevie Ray Vaughn. To hear more down home country blues listen to Sonny Terry and Brownie McGee. And for something real interesting check out some really old blues on the Yazoo label. I've got a cd with music that is like a cross between Irish folk, Country, and Blues. There's banjo's, fiddles and preaching on it. Something really interesting if you like hearing the history of blues.
