Blues

Son Seals is a Blues act. Their sound grew out of Bobby Bland, A.C. Reed, Rosco Gordon, Junior Parker and Robert Nighthawk. Those roots explain a lot about how Son Seals arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Charlie Musselwhite, John Lee Hooker, Elmore James, Koko Taylor and The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Phish, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 18 connections around Son Seals, reaching back through Bobby Bland and forward to Phish.
