The guy is like most, he knows BB King. Can he talk Texas piano blues, nope. Can he talk those Memphis Jug Bands, nope? Can he talk all those blind blues cats from the Piedmont, nope? If I listed a dozen blues cats and asked.....what region do we associate them with.....he has no clue.

Them blues is very regional, its....

Mississippi Delta (all Miss blues gets stuck here)
Memphis (can join Miss as Delta blues)
Texas
Louisiana
St.Louis

Her voice was strong and unique. Not to trash their music, which is decent to good; the problem is the actual band is ho hum.

Yeah...I liked her voice. But it doesn't matter how good her band was if they were going to be playing those songs.

If you mean overly simple, that's because the band was not much better than your typical college campus players.

No, I don't mean overly simple. There are plenty of simple songs that I like. And there are plenty of complex songs that suck.

But to me, there wasn't any hooks on their songs to pull me in. That being said, I only heard the handful of songs that were on the radio or MTV. Of those, Zombie was pretty good.

I really never paid much attention to the band but as I said I liked the drums on Zombie. I doubt they're as bad as you think.
