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:

    “He has the earnestness of a prophet. In an age of pedantry and dilettantism, he has no grain of these in his composition. There is nowhere else, surely, in recent readable English, or other books, such direct and effectual teaching, reproving, encouraging, stimulating, earnestly, vehemently, almost like Mahomet, like Luther.... His writings are a gospel to the young of this generation; they will hear his manly, brotherly speech with responsive joy, and press forward to older or newer gospels.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “And he whose soul is flat—the sky
    Will cave in on him by and by.”
    —Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)

    “It is from the blues that all that may be called American music derives its most distinctive character.”
    —James Weldon Johnson (1871–1938)
