Just recently discovered you, what a blessing you are. What I appreciate most about your style is, the ‘female touch’ to the blues, just too many female guitarists want to sound like men. I believe your style represents a wonderful sensitive true human being. Thanks a lot. God Bless.
Always fun to listen to and watch Sue Foley. I listen to or watch Absolution a few times every day; that song cures what ails me. And I aspire to play with half as much feeling and energy and soul as Sue does, just once in my life. Thank you, Sue Foley!
I'd known Sue Foley as a blues player for years, but had somehow missed the point. But when I heard her cover of Gatemouth Brown's Okie Dokie Stomp, it was a wtf moment. That's one of the great instrumental blues, and she did Gate proud with her effortless playing. Ever since then, I've been all about her music. She plays as well as anyone, and sings up a storm to boot.
Whether it's Beth Hart or Carolyn Wonderland or Sue Foley, I like a woman's perspective on the blues. You're right, Sue. The blues is about life. As Billie Holiday said, "There are happy blues and there are sad blues." It isn't all sadness. It's the full spectrum of feelings and emotions. Women are uniquely qualified to play the blues, because they feel emotions more deeply than men. Keep playing, and we'll keep listening. Thank you for being an all woman blues player, everything from your pink paisley Fender guitar to your sultry female voice and for being one of the very best of them all!
Great talk, so refreshing to hear from the mighty, mighty Sue Foley. There is a Legacy and a strong interest for more exposure so I personally hope to see SF sometime in the near future. Weather it be for flawless execution, powerful vocals or to revisit the early 90s feeling I got wondering how all this FUNK came out of this little package. Life is Amazing and knowing the Blues is everywhere I still am left to ponder, what on earth was James Cotton doing in Ottawa? Rhetorical of course but I am thankful he did, I can't imagine my musical education and most wicked nights out in Austin and whatever other Blues Festivals we found ourselves in or what got us there without his influence on Sue Foley. Just must have been meant to be and were all grateful
