Contemporary Blues

I guess I don't want him to sound like some washed-up rock-and-roller

Well, you call it "washed-up"...... I just call it authentic.
Below you have one of my countrymen and the result of several years of beers, booze, weed and cig´s........ Pretty good, I´d say 😉

Quite an applause in the Jimmy Fallon video YT suggested. Multi-instrumentalist too I see.

Being in Denmark, YT did not suggest any Jimmy Fallon.

Have you tried Steve Cropper's new album 'Friendlytown'? Just been nominated for some blues award I think.

 

[Charles Darwin]

It has been nominated in the category Best Contemporary Blues Album.

You never heard of the Colonel? How is that even possible did you live under a rock or on top of a mountain? 😉

here something local:

I love that storytelling style (have no idea what the story is but certainly recognize the style!) and that Bass player is awesome.
It reminded me of a song I like but it took until now to figure out what it was..........Robbie Robertson 'Somewhere down the crazy river'

 

[e3k]

yes has some similarities. sorry you cant understand the lyrics but never mind it was too abstract for me to understand it also. all i get is women.
tittle: information about the air

This one kindly comes across as pop but its based in blues/soul and demonstrates a new take on old styles……not something I would normally listen to but as a package (video) it’s really cool imo 😎

edit; anyone know who the woman on the stand up bass is? She’s awesome!

edit II; I noticed some of the previous video links are dead so I better start including labels…..Jon Batiste, I Need You (live from the red room)

Blues piano classical?

Julie Rhodes 'Hey Stranger' ...... blues collides with reggae! Vocals are like velvet, the whole album is really good.
