Modern Blues Guitar Players

I started a previous thread on "feel for the blues" on this forum but I also what to listen to knew artist to get inspired. So I've gotten down most of the classic legends of blue but now I wanna listen to more modern guitar players like John Mayer and Robben Ford. So if you could please listen so dudes I would greatly appreciate it

Matt Schofield I think is a great new playet

Michael Burks, James Blood Ulmer, Derek Trucks.

Guy Clark Jr.
Kid Anderson

+1 for everyone already mentioned.

Joe Bonamassa.

I named a few in my reps one's to your earlier thread...

Robert Lockwood Jr
Keb Mo
Tab Benoit
Anders Osborne
Jimmy Thackery
Danny Morris
Jimmie Vaughan
Smokin' Joe Kubek
Susan Tedeschi
Anna Popovic
Duke Robillard


So many more that don't get the credit or popularity they should...

Popa Chubby is great.

Ronnie Earl is another player who deserves a wider audience.

Joe Bonamassa.

For some reason I don't really like bonamassa. He's more rock than blues to me. But no doubt in my mind he's a great guitar player

Matt Schofield I think is a great new playet

I just watched some of his stuff guy is awesome!

Of new actual 'blues' players - Kirk Fletcher deserves a serious listen.

Not sure why it didn't occur to me to promote my buddy Pat and his band... check out The Blues Buckets (http://www.bluesbuckets.com/)! I always enjoy their shows.... Duh....

Go get Kirk Fletcher's newest album. He has some tracks with Michael Landau. He really is one of my favorites and definitely a BLUES guy.

I think Joe B. is really misunderstood. He primarily influenced by Blues but is also heavily influenced by country, jazz and 60's brit rock. Although he has a signature style every one of his cd's sound completely different. He does have a pure blues cd "Blues Deluxe" which is a good solid cd but actually my least favorite of his

I'll +1 Derek Trucks, when I first heard him I wasnt all that impressed but when I saw him on stage with Joe and Billy at the Rock and Roll HOF I took another look and actually really started to like his stuff. The only cd I'm 100% familiar with his is "Already Free" cd and there is not a single song that will let you down.

If you like the 60's Brit Blues/Rock sound The Black Keys are great. I just recently found them out (I am a bit slow :mrgreen:). A lot of fun and a great sound.

I'm a big fan of Mayer and Kenny Wayne Shepherd, although KWS is more rock, you can hear so much SRV in his licks.

+1 to all listed. Except for Bonnamassa :sad: Seen him live, he's a fantastic guitar player, but that's really all.

+2s to Matt Schofield, Gary Clark Jr, Kirk Fletcher, Alvin Youngblood Hart, Tab Benoit, Derek Trucks. I'm just naming guys below 45. Benoit's 44.

Shout out for Seasick Steve.

I'm too old for this thread. My "Modern" Blues players are Hook, Wolf, and my friend Robert Jr. And Robert got too modern for me sometimes! Really barely knew him though. He liked my fingerpicking Country Blues. Most of the Modern players, although wonderful players, leave me somewhat cold.

What's Matt schofields best blues album?

Actually this guy is not new, but severely underappreciated, Donald Kinsey of the Kinsey report. I've seen him live before and he is easily as good or better than anybody mentioned. Also another player that has fallen off the radar is Larry McCray. You'd be wise to look into these players because they are great.

Nicked this link from TGP.

Cool to have these guys show up at your local Blues Jam!
