What blues are you listening to today?


Blues is by far my favorite and most listened to genre. I don't know how many of us are in here, but I thought a continuing thread of this kind might be of interest. 

I'm listening to Buddy Guy's Sweet Tea. Buddy's covers of Junior Kimbrough,      T-Model Ford, CeDell Davis and the like are awesome. Jimbo Mathus sitting in on rhythm guitar doesn't hurt! 

So what blues are on your system today?

It seems the OPs focus is on classic blues rather than blues-rock.  However, some have responded naming blues-rock artists.  For some reason I never warmed up to classical blues like Buddy Guy, though I listen and respect the outstanding musicianship of these artists.  So I will error, like others, and maybe even further, in mentioning blues-rock artists that are some of my favs:

Stevie Ray Vaughan

John Mayall

Eric Clapton 

Jeff Beck

Walter Trout

… and even though he may be considered more singer-songwriter than blues-rock,  Leonard Cohen … who’s music may not have strict blues structure but has many elements that are bluesy.  

 

Pink Anderson (first name in Pink Floyd)

Early Fleetwood Mac

Elmore James

Little Walter

Rory Gallagher did a really good blues album

Otis Rush

Just to name a few...
