Joanne Shaw Taylor "The Dirty Truth"

Thanks for the heads up Mofi. Would you describe her as blues rock or blues? Personally, I like my blues more in the traditional vein.

I've recently picked up Kara Grainger, "Shiver and Sigh" She a young Aussie female guitar and vocalist, very easy on the eyes. She's reasonably bluesy but not hard core. The album is good and shows a lot of potential.

I really like Kelly Hunt. She's got a number of albums out and her latest "The Beautiful Bones" is really good. She sings and plays piano. The music is a mix of Blues, Gospel and Soul, which I love. She writes most of her material and her songs are uplifting and positive, which is a nice change.

I'd recommend checking out "Inspiration", A New Shade of Blue" or the new one for starters, but I like all her albums.

Mofi, I guess you answered my question in the first sentence of your post. I'm getting old, what can I say?

Tom...thanks for the recommendation for Kara Grainger and Kelly Hunt. Tidal has (2) albums by Kara, but nothing from Kelly. I'll have to look for her elsewhere.

I will check out the Joanne Shaw Taylor CD.

Have you heard of Chastity Brown? Just saw a program about her on local TV because she's currently living in Minneapolis. Thought she was quite a good blues singer. Think I'll check her out as well.

I also had her on my radar a couple of years ago. At that time there was no vinyl. Now?
