On December 21st, 1992, Blues guitarist and singer Albert King passed away. King is often regarded as one of the greatest and most influential blues guitarists of all time. He, B.B. King, and Freddie King, all unrelated, were known as the "Kings of the Blues".

Recommendations for songs like “hell hound on my trail”
I’ve recently gotten really into blues after watching the first season of Reacher and I’ve become obsessed with Robert Johnson especially because of all the folklore about him selling his soul to the devil. Any recommendations for artists or songs that have that dark/melancholy/slow feel like “Hellhound on my trail” and “Me and the Devil Blues”. Also does anyone know why Blues was considered “the devils music” and don’t say racism because I know that was part of it but it wasn’t just white people that thought that

Why is blues in the key of B so uncommon?
I tried it and think sounds great here.
Are the 5 sharps more difficult to play on other instruments?
