Hooray, Hooray, These Women Are Killing Me (Sonny Terry) 2:56
Baby Please Don't Go to New Orleans (Big Joe Williams) 4:52
from Sonny & Brownie's Last Train 2017
...“Brownie and Sonny were two musicians whose work will never surpassed, let alone improved on,” says Guy.
While that might be true, this writer is old enough to have experienced those giants on multiple occasions in my youth and, more recently, been blessed with the good fortune of catching Davis and Poggi in concert, too. Even though they deliver much of the same material as their predecessors, they achieve a level of intimacy that Terry and McGhee never approached – possibly because of personal differences...

Blues-rock guitarist who got his start with the band Bloodline before launching a solo career.Guitar mastermind Joe Bonamassa, a young player with the childhood dream of playing music similar to legends like Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Clapton, and Jimi Hendrix, was 22 when he inked a deal with Epic.
Joe Bonamassa
This Train (Joe Bonamassa / James House) 4:20
Blues of Desperation (Joe Bonamassa / James House) 6:27
What I've Known for a Very Long Time (Joe Bonamassa) 5:33
from Blues Of Desperation 2016
Despite its hardscrabble title -- a sentiment mirrored by the deeply etched black & white cover art -- 2016's Blues of Desperation is very much a continuation of the bright, varied blues-rock heard on Different Shades of Blue. On that 2014 album, Joe Bonamassa made a conscious decision to pair with a bunch of Nashville songsmiths to help sharpen his original material, and he brings most of them back for Blues of Desperation, too. The tenor of the tunes is somewhat heavy -- there are lonesome trains, low valleys, no places for the lonely -- and the production also carries a ballast, something that comes into sharp relief on the Zep-flavored title track but can be heard throughout the record...

Kevin Selfe has been electrifying audiences nationwide since breaking into the blues scene in 2006. His growing stature as a captivating story teller and passionate performer are surpassed only by his deft mastery of blues guitar. Having relocated to Portland, OR, the Virginia native is now a leading light in the Pacific Northwest’s robust blues revival.

Buy My Soul Back (Kevin Selfe) 4:52
Bluesman Without the Blues (Kevin Selfe) 3:21
Virginia Farm (Kevin Selfe) 4:02
Pig Pickin' (Kevin Selfe) 4:48
from Buy My Soul Back 2015
Multi-talented Kevin Selfe and his band, the Tornadoes, have been wowing audiences from their adopted home base of Portland, Ore., for the better part of a decade, but should make waves nationally with Buy My Soul Back, a thoroughly modern album that delves into themes that regularly run through the blues.
Originally from Roanoke, Va., Selfe discovered the blues late in life, when he was a student in meteorology at North Carolina State University. His roommate, a bass player, introduced him to the works of Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf and Elmore James, and, by the time he graduated with honors, changed his path in life from TV weatherman to dyed-in-the-wool bluesman.

2014-2019

Austin, Texas-based guitarist who gained fame in the '90s as Eric Clapton's right-hand man and who pursued a blues-rock career of his own. 
Doyle Bramhall II
Hear My Train a Comin' (Jimi Hendrix) 5:08
Mama Can't Help You (Doyle Bramhall II / Kz Jones) 4:22
The Veil (Doyle Bramhall II / Kz Jones) 4:53
from Rich Man 2016
Doyle Bramhall II put his solo recording career into hibernation following the 2001 release of Welcome, choosing to concentrate on his thriving career as a sideman and producer...  Bramhall channels all this experience into Rich Man, his first album in 17 years and also his best. The key to the success of Rich Man is how he loads up the album with thick, funky rhythms, pushing soul over blues over the course of its 13 tracks... By closing the album with a slow, churning rendition of "Hear My Train a Comin'," he consciously reconnects with blues-rock, but early in the record he's riding mellower Southern soul grooves and concentrating on tight songwriting. And that's the trick of the album: it starts expansive and keeps expanding, taking in all the sounds and styles he's played over the last 17 years.

Southern roots rock group led by Rebecca and Megan Lovell, formerly of the Lovell Sisters. Southern roots rockers Larkin Poe were formed around core members Rebecca and Megan Lovell, formerly the Lovell Sisters. A bit edgier and rockier than the Lovell Sisters, Larkin Poe's electric and slide guitar riffs quickly earned them comparisons to the Allman Brothers.
Larkin Poe ‎
Come On In My Kitchen (Robert Johnson) 2:11
Black Betty (Traditional) 2:44
Preachin' Blues (Son House) 3:21
Tom Devil (Traditional) 2:44
from Peach 2017
...But it’s through the release of their own records that the Larkin Poe female duo truly brandish their musical pedigree. And in Peach, they have a strong contender for Southern crossover album of 2017. With blues at its core, the album is a diverse work that incorporates opposing modern and traditional sounds onto a single record without ever sounding dissonant or contrived... Larkin Poe’s mantra seems to be “if it sounds great, then it goes on an album.” It’s one that fans and critics seem to agree works perfectly – with labels like “the little sisters of the Allman Brothers” being thrown around the music press. Peach proves beyond any reasonable doubt the Lovells are worthy of that accolade.

Please Tell Me Baby 3:37
Death Bell Blues 4:36
I'm Hurtin  2:49
from Benton County Relic 2018
It's always an event when a new Cedric Burnside album is released, for many different reasons. First and foremost, to remind us all of the huge contribution that the Mississippi Hill Country sound has given, in the last half a century and beyond, to the fundamentals of Blues in its entirety, through artists like R.L. Burnside, Mississippi Fred McDowell or Junior Kimbrough, for example.
Another good reason is that Cedric Burnside is one of the very few artists left in the world capable to recreate perfectly the Hill Country sound and atmospheres, thanks to his instinctive, inner ability to adapt the mood and the vibes of the Hill Country Blues to his personal tales about life, loss, fears and hopes.
Living temporarily aside the Cedric Burnside Project, the Mississippi Award-winning multi-instrumentalist and singer/songwriter has decided to go solo on his brand new album, called Benton County Relic, a record where Burnside digs even deeper than he has ever done on past records, from a lyrical perspective, into events that impacted his personal life in the last couple of years. Events that the American artist has been able to translate, lyrically and sonically, through twelve brand new songs of an impressive depth of intensity and raw honesty, two aspects that have always been at the core of Burnside's musical vision.
