Love those classic tracks. I find when I'm jamming I usually throw on those raw ones as it's easier to carve out your own voice when you're only up against a tinny acoustical track/vocals.

Some more!

Eva Cassidy - known more for her Somewhere Over the Rainbow cover, and similar ballads, she has an amazing blues repertoire, and one of the best voices ever to back it up.



Jim Croce is all swagger



Muddy Waters



Ray Charles

I think Jack White perfectly sums up why I do enjoy the blues, and also whats wrong with a lot of modern music.


Also really enjoy his music, especially the great blues songs(whether originals or covers) he slips onto every record he makes


Also really like the early Black Keys albums for the same reason. Highly recommend picking up their "Chulahoma" EP, all Junior Kimbrough covers and all are incredible.

Love it. I'm a big Black Keys fan, love their sound. Try RL Burnside if you like that modern gritty bluesy sound

Nice. I mainly play acoustic so it's nice to hear some modern unplugged stuff.

I've always wanted to learn how to plays my blues harps but I really have no clue where to start.

I love just about everything in this thread! RL Burnside is outstanding, I'm surprised I haven't discovered him until more recently. Jack White has to be one of my favorite more modern blues kinda guys. After watching that documentary "It Might Get Loud" I gained even more respect for him.

Here's some favorites.








Also, I know it's just a movie but I love Samuel Jackson singing the blues, hahah. He's quite good. I feel like Black Snake Moan is worth mentioning!



The sound of his guitar in this one though is always stuck in my head.

Are Deap Vally getting noticed in the States yet ? They're playing near me this Thursday in the UK. Very Stripes/Jack White sound. Can see them making it big. :



Some great B.B. while we're at it.
