Blue Guitars - Album Number Eight - Gospel Soul Blues & Motown

Gospel Soul Blues & Motown

While the basic structures and rhythms of the Blues remained true to the original, still a new generation moved the Blues onwards, banjo style played on electric guitar became the electric "sitar", the sound hit the nerve of the Indy/Hippie generation, instantly recognizable: Tamla Motown. Softer and easier accessible than previous hybrids of the Blues, basically every song was a hit.

Famous quotes containing the words gospel, soul and/or blues:

    “This is the gospel of labour, ring it, ye bells of the kirk!
    The Lord of Love came down from above, to live with the men who work.
    This is the rose that He planted, here in the thorn-curst soil:
    Heaven is blest with perfect rest, but the blessing of Earth is toil.”
    —Henry Van Dyke (1852–1933)

    “The soul can split the sky in two,
    And let the face of God shine through.”
    —Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)

    “Holly Golightly: You know those days when you’ve got the mean reds?
    Paul: The mean reds? You mean like the blues?
    Holly Golightly: No, the blues are because you’re getting fat or maybe it’s been raining too long. You’re just sad, that’s all. The mean reds are horrible. Suddenly you’re afraid and you don’t know what you’re afraid of.”
    —George Axelrod (b. 1922)
