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?

I've seen quite a few of my artists mentioned by other posters. We saw Buddy Guy in concert a couple of years ago...what a master of the guitar! Two artists that I didn't see mentioned are Charles Brown and Gene Harris. Gene's piano playing is fabulous; he had many recordings on Concord Records when digital became the thing; I haven't found many of his albums on vinyl.
