The theme and the feel of a song can be pretty blue in many genres, without being blues songs.
Then we have happy-sounding songs like Sweet Home Chicago, which still definitely is a blues.
That can be today's riddle, if I may.
Let's leave it at that
Yeah, Keith has been always right in this one: "it's the same shit, man"...
But now when I recall, when I made several years ago a "definitive Rolling Stones blues collection" - is somewhere there in the back pages of IORR - I was very liberal in defining the "blues", but even then I didn't include "No Use In Crying" there, But maybe I am more liberal now. But it took me years to view "Down In The Hole" as a pure blues song, but seemingly for many here that is taken as granted.

What other genre would Down in a Hole be????? Not pop, soul, reggae,r&b...etc. I never thought it was anything but blues.

As Ronnie is a booze whore, and Keith was a drug whore and Mick and Bill were man whores, there weren't a lot other whores left over.
He's a victim of circumstance.

With those chords it COULD have been a ballad (from hell), but it's not...

Lol...True. I'm sorry if it sounded like an attack towards Do a, but that one caught me off guard. Funny how something you have heard one way for ever, someone else hears differently.

It's not a 12 bar blues, but it surely is a classic blues in every other sense - by instrumentation (rhythm and harp), the feel as well as the guitar playing.

A bit like a mid 60s R&B song. Clearly a part ripped off Time is on my side. And very much in Keiths late 70s early 80s "choir ballads"
