I added the "circle of 5ths" tag to it. There was one other thread tagged and probably many more we could tag that way as well.

Now some people don't understand. They think a blues player has to be worried, troubled to sing the blues. That's wrong. I'll put it this way; there's a doctor, he has medicine. He's never, sick, he ain't sick, but he has stuff for the sick people. So the blues player, he ain't worried and bothered, but he's got something for the worried people. Doctor . . . you can see his medicine, you can see his patient. Blues . . . you can't see the music you can't see the patient because it's soul. So I works on the soul, and the doctor works on the body - Roosevelt Sykes, spoken on Smithsonian/Folkways Classic Blues anthology

I think the "theory/analysis" tag generally catches all of these sorts of threads.
All best, Johnm I think I know what you're saying. The term "circle of 5ths" is very broad brush when we're talking about country blues, as is "12 bar blues" etc in the majority of cases. It's just a tendency. Uneven phrasing, variations between verses and refrains, middle eights or other breaks out of the main form occur more often than not.
Since people do use these terms, and someone asked, I went ahead and added the preexisting tag.
