Newer Blues Artists or Recordings

Kingfish,  good entry.  Not new but new to me this last year or two is Tab Benoit.  Mix of southern Delta /Zydeco blues guitar/vocal.  Some great Telarc recordings too once he hit his stride.  

Eric Gales never disappoints me when I see him live.

Thanks @rockadanny - a very good start!

I sort of remember hearing Rod Piazza with Honey and the Mighty Flyers at a blues fest years ago. I like his harmonica.

I look forward to some more great suggestions on this thread, and I encourage giving both the genre and the interpretation of "newer" a broad latitude so as not to restrict suggesting music that sounds good to you all.

Here are a few that may be a bit off the beaten path for some here:

• Fleetwood Mac - Before the Beginning - 1968-1970 *
• Dr. John - Duke Elegant
• Muscle Shoals: Small Town Big Sound

* For a couple of well done Peter Green covers, check out Black Magic Woman and Man of the World on Eric Clapton’s - The Lady in the Balcony: Lockdown Sessions (Live)

Byther Smith, "Blues On The Moon" (2008).

Chris Smither, "Leave The Light On" (2006).

Watermelon Slim and the Workers, "Watermelon Slim and the Workers" (2006).

There ya go. I tried to list ones from my vaults of lesser known artists.

Richard Johnston, "Foot Hill Stomp" (2002).

Rod Piazza, "Keepin' It Real" (2004).

Popa Chubby, "Big, Bad, and Beautiful: Live" (2015).

Trampled Under Foot, "Badlands" (2013).

And from that band ...

Danielle Nicole, "Wolf Den" (2015).
