Any suggestions for new’ish blues artists and/or recordings you have discovered and enjoyed over the past few years? Please include all types of blues music and artists - traditional blues, southern rock/blues (e.g., Allman Bros., etc.), blues/soul, slower blues (i.e., good for background music while working), and cross-overs such as blues recordings by well-known rock or popular artists such as Boz Scaggs, Robin Trower, Eric Clapton, and others. Let’s help each other discover new blues music.

Try a German version of SRV: Henrik Freischlader - Live at GuitarPoint (youtube.com) And his work with Layla Zoe: As an enormous fan of SRV and The Derek Trucks band I was immediately enamored with this work. |
Great thread topic! Thanks for posting. I’ve listened to the blues on and off for 50 years (yes, I’m old). After the passing of the greats-Muddy Waters, et al, I stopped listening for a bit. In the last couple of years I’ve started listening to newer blues. I think these are worth while- Eric Bibb-Spirit and the Blues Rhiannon Giddens-They’re Calling Me Home John Hiatt-Crossing Muddy Waters (an older release, from 2000, that I purchased last year) Jorma Kaukonen-Live at the Bottom Line Sue Foley-Pinky’s Blues Samantha Fish-Faster Larkin Poe-Kindred Spirits Dave Alvin and Jimmie Dale Gilmore-Downey to Lubbock |
