You have to include in a list like this Gary Moore. Anyone who has seen the nine minute film of him and BB King perform The Thrill is Gone would have to inclue him.

New, third millenium, Niagara Peninsula blues, and this guy doesn't know who Jimi Hendrix is.
Amos Garret isn't a blues player. He tunes his guitar with the three top strings loose, loose, loose,
so he can sound like his most famous solo in "Midnight at the Oasis" by Maria Muldaur.

Anyway, "The thrill is gone, the thrill is gone away, the thrill is gone, the thrill is gone today,
you know you done me wrong, and you'll be sorry someday.
The pills are gone, what, you ate them all while I was away,
all the pills are gone, how could you do them all in one day,
I should have just flushed them all down the toilet, and let you find your own way.
The chemo is scheduled, and we all feel your pain.
The chemo is taking it's toll, and that's not a road to go down again,
when your hair comes back and you can eat, we will all feel the same.
The chill is gone, it's getting warmer every way.
All this global warming has come, and it's raining on and off every day,
And insurance has gone up the same way, only my security has gone away.
The thrill is gone, my friends, playing and singing in front of you here today,
oh, all the thrills are gone, just having to make it home our own way,
Don't feel you're going back alone, because I'm with you all the way.
When this online is gone, baby, when the wires get taken away,
oh, typing on Magle won't get easy, when there's no way to say,
You can just listen to his CD's, and let your imagination make your day.

I thought everyone went to Clarkesdale to take the last train from the station,
the midnight train.

Take it away John

The bills are all here babe, and I have no money today,
the phone calls are coming, and there's nothing to say,
It's time to double down, and hope to get it all and pay.

I'm typing here at on a forum, the free forum Magle dot dk,
I'm just sitting here fonting about music, and the stage seems far away,
if I was paying for all these services, I wouldn't be here today.

The world is whirling, spinning until I get spun,
our world is turning, turning on everyone,
the worst of times is here, and no good can be done.

teddy! You should know better than to encourage me.

There is a new millennium blues, and it touches each one of us,
it goes beyond paying your dues, burning your environment,
and when that cold rain rises up against your door,
"you've got me floating" won't sound so bon vivant.
