We're all always dealing with something, and as long as that is how life goes, we'll always find a home listening to timeless blues songs. 

We also compare the writing of Hemingway, Faulkner, Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, Jim Thompson, and James Crumley as they capture the common human struggle the blues epitomize. 

And, if that isn't enough, we talk about two remarkable songs, "You Don't Know Me" and "Me and Bobbie McGee" and how they in different ways are quintessential blues material.
