Too many stellar choices to pick just one. Can't believe nobody has mentioned Kenny Wayne Sheperd. We saw him when he was 18 at a small club in Denver and I thought it was Jimmy back for a visit. Johnny Lang also has chops.
We saw Coco Montoya, John Mayalls ex-guitarist, in October and the phrase blistering comes to mind.
Certainly, Captain Trips played some awesome blues. David Hidalgo is one of my favorites.
How about a shout out to Rory Block who has been playing acoustic blues her entire career. Here she is performing a scorching Preacher Blues:
