Filthy took me to Whiskey Junction in the Cities and we got to see him. He sure drew a crowd. We got his newest cd but I don't think it is as good as his earlier ones.........

Almost forgot.......JOHN PRINE FAN TOO!

editted to add........Hot is the lead singer from Otis and the Alligators. Any man that can play a harmonica like that.........*sigh*

Blues?

What about Hendrix??? He played some rockin blues.....

What about other Genres???

Crazy-- Yep- add them all!! I started with the Blues cuz it's my favorite genre. I didn't list the more popular stuff like Hendrix or Stevie Ray Vaughan or Eric Clapton cuz everyone knows them. My thinking was that someone who might like the Blues might try one of the less well known groups I might have listed and end up with a new favorite of their own. Alot of the bands I listed in this genre were recommended to me by others- I hadn't heard of them before. It's a great way to expand one's music library!!!

Someone else might want to list some bands/artists in country or Jazz or New Age, etc, they really like that others might not be aware of- not the mainstream stuff.

String Cheese Incident, are GREAT!

Personally, no one can top Muddy Waters, he is my hero. Keb Mo is pretty good too.

If you guys want to check out a great website in my opinion: http://www.thebluehighway.com/

As far as things that aren't blues, but still rock in my book Jim White(kinda country funk, folk fusion--GREAT Lyrics!: http://www.jimwhite.net/ ), and Squirrel Nut Zippers (kinda a dixie-land, swing, sound--very fun for road trips http://www.snzippers.com/)
