help me out with your favorite blues artists

I saw Stevie Ray Vaughan and Robert Cray live at an amphitheater concert just before Stevie's copter crashed.
They were the best.
Broken strings and just kept whaling.

Stevie played a small bar in town while I was in college, saw him twice in that dive bar in Nac.

I will throw Marcus King's name in the ring, great new blues artist

 

[FarleyMcJohnson]

I was just going to say Marcus King. Gary Clark Jr is also a favorite of mine, I've met him twice now. I go see him every time he's been in Minneapolis and drove to Austin TX to see him open for Tom Petty the year Petty died.

I'll throw in Robert Bradley's Blackwater Surprise.

Not sure if they are considered 'blues" By JJ Grey and Mofro as well

For straight ass bad to the bone E guitar, check out David Grissom

Heck out Christine Ingram. He’s pretty awesome!

Popa Chubby, Warren Haynes, Alvin Lee, Charlie Musselwhite, Walter Trout, Albert King, Ronnie Baker Brooks. Jeff Beck, Keb Mo, Etta James.

The whole recording “In Session” with SRV and Albert King is amazing. One of my favorites.

Great suggestions: SRV, Jimi, Allman's, plus all the OGs.

Black Keys Chulahoma is a great album of Junior Kimbrough covers.

Check out Seasick Steve for some interesting bare bones sounds.

Grateful Dead has a ton of blues influence and their sound changes over the years, so you can always discover new gems.

Saw BB King once and he broke a string. I thought to myself “now we’ll see if the IS only 1 Lucille”. Guy came from side stage with a string, the song never ended, BB replaced the string all while singing. That answered it. GOAT.

Saw Buddy Guy this year and his act was remarkable. He’s so easy and plays effortlessly. Eric Gales really impressed as his opening act. Now that he’s sober, it’s even more amazing to watch him play.

beyond jealous. I would have loved to see that guy. His guitar grew out of him.

Going to see him at the infamous Surf Ballroom in a week & half. Will be #2 for the wife & I. This is it, his farewell tour.

So I know a lot of 80 metal were blues oriented, from dime bag to ..... whoever. I love the guitars (can't play one), and I love any music blues influenced. Hunting season is slow so I hope we can talk the blues, until hunting season, I love muddy waters, lighting hopkins, john lee hooker, susan tedeschi to big mama thorton. Stevie ray is still my favorite. If anyone can steer me to some blues, I am all ears. The blues are all american to me. help me find some older classics while I wait for my moose hunt
