@oddiofyl Marcus reminds me of the enormous talent of Teddy Swims or some Chris Stapleton. |
People who like the Singer/Songwriter, "Hard" (traditional) Country, and Bluegrass genres (three included in the term Americana) are in luck, as those styles of music have a new generation of practitioners making records and touring. @slaw has already mentioned a few, and a couple more can be heard on Ringo Starr’s new album, they being Molly Tuttle and Billy Strings. Both have mighty fine albums of their own, and there are dozens more like them. For instance:
- The Secret Sisters (produced by T Bone Burnett). - JD McPherson (okay, he’s a little over 40, but looks younger), sometimes guitarist with Alison Krauss and Robert Plant. - Adrianne Lenker. Her Bright Future album was voted the best album of 2024 in many lists. - Brennan Leigh. I’ve seen her live, and she’s fantastic. - Melissa Carper. Likewise. - Charley Crockett. - Sam Outlaw.

Jazz guitarist (who's probably a genius, beside being a masterful musician) Julian Lage. I agree about Marcus King. Phenomenally tasteful player whose Jazz studies and harmonic awareness elevate him above typical licks-based players. A protégé of Warren Haynes. Terrific and terrifically soulful singer, as well.
