Question: Who do you think the best blues artists are at the moment
Answers: Who do you think the best blues artists are at the moment
Look into Doyle Bramhall II--he plays on
nearly every track of "Sessions For Robert J."
which was released in 2005.
Talk about impressive!
Also, don't dismiss Jack White. He too is the real deal.
It is still Stevie Ray Vaughn
BB King, Eric Clapton,There is a new group playing in Memphis right now called "Delta Highway" great band, excellent harmonica player.
bb king, buddy guy, eric clapton, robert cray and tommy castro to name a few of the best that i like
Rod Piazza & The Mighty Flyers-perennial W.C. Handy award winners
Tom Ball & Kenny Sultan
Little Charlie & The Nightcats
Shemekia Copeland
Buddy Guy
Hubert Sumlin -both still gigging regularly!
and the most captivating performer around-John Paul Hammond !!!(often mistakenly called John Hammond Jr.)
By saying "at the moment" you mean "Alive and working" - so I'd go for Norah Jones (Yes she's blues!), JJCale (who influenced that fly by night waste of time Clapton) and Johnny Winter (who is still going!).
Oh and Stan Ridgway, but what genre he is noone can really tell.
B.B. King!!!! Especially when he does singles with Muddy Waters and/or Eric Clapton!
Walter Trout-Ruf Records.In England he was voted the 6th best guitarest of all time and Jimmy Thackery-Blind Pig records
