Blues Guitarists - recommendations please.

[Worried Man Blues]

Hound Dog Taylor if you want real blues, look up you tube, this man is damn fanbloodytastic and the rest of you should give him a look. Happy blues......

 

[seagully]

If you're looking for some local 'modern' blues I can recommend King Size Slim (not least because my brother plays percussion/drums for him)

 

[Boys 9d]

Lonnie Johnson, especially his duets with Blind Willie Dunn (really Eddie Lang the first notable Jazz solo guitarist).

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

RL Burnside. Also, check out the Martin Scorsese curated blues films.

Gary Moore (RIP) ex Thin Lizzy

Who cares? Watch any gig during this period-shivers down your spine imo

[blue'n'white]

Agree with "Worried Man Blues" - Hound Dog Taylor is a nutcase/genius in the same vein as Watermelon Slim

 

[Boys 9d]

Matt "Guitar' Murphy

 

[Mackenzie]

Another vote for Robert Cray. Lovely stuff.
