Mark Easton is “ a sick and twisted blues man” playing “dirty white trash blues” ! 😆
Certainly is a fresh sound…….I kindly like it! 😎
From QLD, AU…… I’m not sure but I think he’s a one man band?

Janiva Magness, Don't You Forget About Me (no, this is not a remake from the song of the same name from the 1980s!)
You gotta love this old girl...... Lucinda Williams.
Thsi swampy blue-rock hits me every time. Same, with Tony Joe White´s album "Rain Crow"

How about some tribute to the originals that inspired modern hits…….something tells me there‘s quite a few!
Here’s one most will recognize. This is Henry Thomas with ’Bulldoze blues’ (1928?)
It’s amazing what you learn just by digging into this stuff……what I thought was a regular flute all these years is actually the ‘quills’ a pan flute like instrument. Which was faithfully used in the Canned Heat interpretation. http://kzfr.org/broadcasts/211

I do! She can also get that 3am in a smoky bar vibe going on. I can play some of her stuff too, but a lot of what I like and can actually play is a little "girly" for me to try and perform, like in front of other people. "Sidewalks of the City" comes to mind.
I'll be honest: I just stumbled on to this thread recently. I normally spend too much time reading build threads and thought I should venture out more. Great work to everyone here, especially @mountainman bob. I'll be digging though even more of the thread now. 😉
Edit: I also appreciate that some of the posts here are Blues by form, and not necessarily Blues by style. Well done!
I'm a big fan of Auerbach, and this is quite a find for me. He gets such great sounds out of his rig; I'm always amazed. He even showed up on an episode of American Pickers at one point (see below.) Seems to be a super nice guy. Thanks for posting this!
Thought this was CeeLo when I first heard this the other day, but turns out it was Marcus King’s new single ‘Mood Swings’ 😎
At age 28, Marcus King has got the goods. Unique voice, incredible player, inventive music without being "out there" or requiring multiple listens to understand. I guess I only worry about that cigarette eventually killing his singing!
Ohhhh you prudent and always soooo double standard americans 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Everybody knows, that a decent blues voice is only kept in shape by lots of booze and three packs a day 😊
