“Them Blues” is a song recorded by the Lonesome River Band, the Virginia-based group that became one of the harder-driving bands in bluegrass after forming in the early 1980s. The band carried the song on one of its albums.
As the title promises, it is a song about the blues — the low, heavy feeling that settles in after trouble or heartbreak. The lyric gives that mood a bluegrass setting, pairing a downcast subject with brisk, energetic playing.
Blues-tinged material has long had a place in the Lonesome River Band’s repertoire.
