Podcast Summary

The Texas Blues Café is a virtual cyber blues cafe. The mission of the Texas Blues Café is to promote blues back into American culture. Blues music originated in the United States and has evolved with the times.

In some parts of the world, blues music has become more popular than in the states and has adapted to a more culturally relevant sound.

Blues legends Muddy Waters, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and ZZ Top are key influences in today’s Texas Blues. It is hard to say where the blues stops and rock 'n' roll begins. Many blues artists play both. While this seems to bother some blues purists, as Muddy said "The Blues had a baby and they named it Rock 'N' Roll". [Article context was Johnny Winter]

Texas blues and roots music is as diverse as its people. We intend to promote blues music using independent blues artist's locally and from around the country. If their music represents the styles embraced in the Lone Star state, we will "give them an invite".

Keep an open mind and be ready for a new experience in blues, Texas style. We hope you enjoy the experience. Copyright © 2009 Texas Blues Cafe - All Rights Reserved.
