Suggestions for current blues guitarists

For acoustic blues, try Rory Block. For something a little more mainstream, try Susan Tedeschi. For something w a little bit of a jazzy groove, try Duke Robillard.

Wow thanks for all the excellent suggestions folks. This gives me a lot of music to start checking out as the weather gets colder and I stay inside much more and listen to a lot more music.

Black blues player? Melvin Taylor from Chicago. Closest to Jimi Hendrix alive today. Plus, he plays a lot of soulful blues too. This guy plays the lights out. "Rendevous with the blues" is the latest i've heard of. "Dirty Pool" has a few Stevie ray covers that don't disappoint.

Loki, You can listen here: Gary Clark, Jr. music

Sonny Landreth is a great call. The guy's fingers are longer than my arms - which doesn't hurt when you're playing. For an added bonus, check out his very, very early stuff with the Zydeco singer Zachary Richard. Less flahsy than his later material, but great, great music.

Other good players include Joe Bonamassa, John Mayer (yep, that one - with Steve Jordan and Pino Palladino in the JM Trio), and Lance Keltner.
