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)

When I last saw Buddy Guy, the opener was Ally Venable.  She has a great voice and some serious guitar chops.  I hear her occasionally on Bluesville on SiriusXM.

Doug MacLeod - Audiophile recordings of some of the best original acoustic Delta and country blues going. Great story teller.

Delta Time - Terry Evans and Hans Theessink  with Ry Cooder. An another audiophile gem!

Christone “Kingfish” Ingram - saw him when he was 15 years old Redds Juke Joint in Clarksdale, MS.  He’s going to be a great one as he develops his own style and sound. Too be watched!
