Thank you all for some new stuff. I will check out. Does anyone like susan tedeschi? Her voice seems magical to me.???

Tedeschi trucks band is probably the best touring live band going right now. If you like blues and soul you won’t be disappointed seeing them live.

Big Bill Broonzy hasn’t been mentioned yet and is at the top of my list.

And I have load some of those from spotify and put them into my collection. I appreciate every response. I hope the thread helps fill the hunting void.. I just want to give thumbs up emoji to everyone with the great suggestions.
