Newer Blues Artists or Recordings

Great thread!I love traditional blues but have difficulty finding newer artists that don't inject an inordinate amount of loud rock n roll into it. Larkin Poe and Joe Bonamassa are incredibly talented but the long guitar and slide solos are not for me.I appreciate having a few new ones to hunt for:-)

Peter Green Splinter Group - Hot Foot Powder or the live album simply named "Peter Green Splinter Group" are faves

Tony Joe White - Hoodoo or Raincrow are favorite albums

BB King duet albums are faves too - Live at the Apollo or Deuces Wild (yes they're old but excellent)

@ezwind - Tedeschi Trucks Band is on my list of "really want to see" bands, for sure.  The Bourbon and Beyond Festival in Louisville in Sept. is within striking distance for me so thinking I should jump on that opportunity.  Seeing them at Red Rocks would have been killer!  I believe I have seen YouTube videos from that show.

The Allman Bros. Live at the Beacon concerts, 2009, are a staple on my playlist - Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes, and Eric Clapton on stage together - amazing guitars!  I could listen to Derek's slide for hours.

Also, thanks for the Music Maker shout-out.

@vandy357 - Both Jonny Lang and Government Mule have played at a really cool old theatre in Kalamazoo.  Both concerts were outstanding.  Jonny Lang because he was so good for being so young (years ago) and Gov't Mule (more recently) because Warren Haynes is amazing and one of my favorites.

@treepmeyer - Thank @wharfy for the Eric Bibb recommendation, and thank you for Hans Theesink, lots of his music on Roon so I will listen.

Might want to take a listen to the Teskey Brothers.

nice bluesy Motown vibe to their music. 
 

For some Chicago-style electric blues/jump blues with terrific slide guitar check out:

Lil' Ed and the Blues Imperials, "Roughousin'", "What You See is What You Get", "Jump Start".

A great band to see live as well. I've seen them three times and they are terrific. Lil' Ed learned his style from his uncle, J.B. Hutto. Or at least that is what he told me after he stole my seat the bar (The Music Box) one freezing late night in Cleveland.

For some electric/swing/jump blues check out Big Joe and the Dynaflows ... "Layin' in the Alley", "I'm Still Swingin'".

And for some traditional/Delta/acoustic blues, check out Rory Block. IMO, the best acoustic blues guitar player alive, and with an angelic voice to boot. To start with, check out, "High Heeled Blues", "Last Fair Deal", and "When a Woman Gets the Blues". Some of her releases, such as "Tornado", while good music and a few blues tracks, can be more adult pop than blues. She is a national treasure.
