Blues Recommendations?


I love Johnny Lang (his older stuff, not the gospel) but would like to know if anyone has any recommendations for others blues singers that have that raw, sensual quality to their voice?

The rawest Blues voice of all time is Blind Willie Johnson----2 incredible current blues artists are Little Toby Walker ( who has won many blues awards ) + Conrad Oberg who is a blind 13 year old prodigy who has played in concerts since he was 3 & has played with Buddy Guy, Dr, John, John Hammond, Ray Charles, Jerry Lee Lewis & Hound Dog Taylor among others.....Lastly....some really sensual blues are : " Please Warm My Weiner " by Bo Carter + " My Big 10" " by Bull Moose Jackson

Howlin Wolf
Muddy Waters
Buddy Guy
Johnny Winter
Chris Youlden (early Savoy Brown)

I have my own CD and it has that raw Blues sound you are looking for you also might want to get some Muddy Waters, Leadbelly Sonny boy Williams, Robert Johnson , Ma Riane, Terry Winter, If you go to a record store you can order these CD

Check out Son House.
Taj Mahal gets down too.

Check out Keb' Mo', he's awesome! He opened for Robert Cray a couple of months ago and totally stole the show.

Kenny Shephard!Bonnie Raitte, some nora jones,
try jack jonson, he isn`t real ruff sounding but he is good!

Kenny Wayne Sheperd
B.B. King
