There was Delta Blues, Chicago Blues, Texas Blues, and then Ted Horowitz, aka Popa Chubby, came along and created the New York Blues. He brought together the laid-back feel of traditional blues and the electricity and urgency of the big metropolis with a very modern sound that also acknowledges punk, Hendrix or country. Popa’s snappy Stratocaster licks are obviously the main attraction here.
