Tab Benoit. Learned his chops with the late great Albert Collins. Cajun flavor but grounded in the blues. He is a purist, in all respects and his band is oh soo tight (just bass and drums). He produces his own music and the recording quality is first rate. Check out Live: Swampland Jam (check the song "Too many dirty dishes")or These Blues Are All Mine. Great blues voice, technical skills and most importantly, passion. He is ALWAYS on the road. Check his web site at tabbenoit.com
