damn, I hoped I'd get back here before anyone else did. my last post was way too harsh. I do think it's a run of the mill blues but my critique wasn't worded very diplomatically.
Bobbie, T for Texas was great 80 years ago, but now it's cliche. it's doubtful anyone would get anywhere with it unless they bent it with a clever turn of phrase. similarly the down on my luck blues is old hat. Blind Willie McTell's Broke Down Engine Blues is 75 years old and even then he used it as a metaphor for himself. without one sharp line or some hellacious guitar licks, a blues about a busted Buick doesn't have much to offer. again, that's just me.
