There ya go. I tried to list ones from my vaults of lesser known artists.

Thanks @rockadanny - a very good start!

I sort of remember hearing Rod Piazza with Honey and the Mighty Flyers at a blues fest years ago. I like his harmonica.

I look forward to some more great suggestions on this thread, and I encourage giving both the genre and the interpretation of "newer" a broad latitude so as not to restrict suggesting music that sounds good to you all.

Here are a few that may be a bit off the beaten path for some here:

• Fleetwood Mac - Before the Beginning - 1968-1970 *
• Dr. John - Duke Elegant
• Muscle Shoals: Small Town Big Sound

* For a couple of well done Peter Green covers, check out Black Magic Woman and Man of the World on Eric Clapton’s - The Lady in the Balcony: Lockdown Sessions (Live)

Eric Gales never disappoints me when I see him live.

Kingfish,  good entry.  Not new but new to me this last year or two is Tab Benoit.  Mix of southern Delta /Zydeco blues guitar/vocal.  Some great Telarc recordings too once he hit his stride.
