Undiscovered blues gems.....


Can anyone recommend recent blues gems that you feel are worthy of merit? I enjoy both acoustic and electric blues. I'm looking for something that might have flown under the radar, so to speak.

I've been listening to Little Charlie and the Nightcats since 1986 and their new CD "Nine Lives" is killer. If you like that get "Night Vision" by them. "Jail Break" and "Straight Up" pass on though.
Another artist that has been around for a while but I just discovered is a brazilian harp player named Carlos Del Junco (hunco). This guy is really good, reminds me of Paul Butterfield and he does alot of stuff that just reminds me of Flat top haircuts and fins on old Cadilacs. His "Big Boy" and "Blues Mongrel" are worth investigating but if you want more vocals check out the "Blues" Cd.
Jimmie D. Lane. He did an album with Double Trouble last year that was produced by Eddie Kramer. I think it's called "It's Time". You can order it from acoustic sounds.
Anything by Magic Slim & the Teardrops, Tinsley Ellis, Mike Henderson & the BlueBloods- First Blood, Anything by Luther Allison, Smokin' Joe Krubreck, Bryan Lee, Joe Beard,
Get the latest Ten Years After CD, without Alvin Lee It will suprise you. Walter Trout,For older stuff, Anything on the Excello LP label or the reissue AVI label (swamp blues) Flyright LPs that pertain to blues. And Don't forget the Blue Horizon stuff. Very rare & expensive. Get the Fleetwood Mac Box set early years.
Enjoy.
