In that time, this purely American art-form has managed to blossom in nearly every country in the world. The Blues has been transformed into nearly every language and is understood by every man and woman ever born. No one can honestly say they "have not" had the Blues at one time or another.In this presentation, BluePower honors a man for his contributions to the Blues and Rock from the beautiful country of Ireland.
