Newer Blues Artists or Recordings

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.

I will start with a couple of newer, young artists that I enjoy...

  • Marcus King (try, Carolina Confessions or El Dorado)
  • Christone "Kingfish" Ingram (try, Live in London)

If you like slide Delta blues, Justin Johnson is another great talent.

+1 for Dr. John’s "Duke Elegant".

+1 for all Warren Haynes/Gov’t Mule

+1 for all Tedeschi/Trucks music (or the prequel Derek Trucks Band’s "Songlines")

+1 for Marcus King (have seen him twice, most recently last summer; saw him open for T/T a few years ago on the Wheels of Soul tour).

I vote for ABB’s 2003 "Live at the Beacon".

I’d add Jimmy Thackery and the Drivers, and a Michigan band that gave up its keyboard player Ben Wilson to Blues Traveler, Big Dave and the Ultrasonics. I believe they’re now defunct, but if you can find a copy of their live CD "No Sweat".......it’s a barnburner.

Robben Ford, Gary Moore and Jeff Healey would round out my immediate list.
