"My Favorite Blues Playlist"
POSTED BY MEGHAN

I recently realized that I have not yet shared with you any of my favorite blues music.  Blues is one of – if not my favorite –  types of music.  As I’ve mentioned before, I occasionally deal with insomnia, and so usually play the blues when I can't get to sleep at night.  Below I have included some of my favorite blues songs and artists; however, I encourage everyone to explore this genre on your own because there are many, many great artists here to be discovered!  Also, B.B. King's "The Thrill Is Gone" is one of my top five favorite songs of all time. We'll be back on the road soon!
