Here’s one I just came across that I’m having trouble labeling, it’s got elements of blues but kindly pop’ish.......so would this qualify as contemporary blues in anyone else’s eyes or am I stretching it? Yola - "Stand For Myself" [Official Music Video] - YouTube
Greene is nice music !
The woman .... is that what they call today RN'B or soul, sort of ?
so not new, maybe all ready in that thread : I liked the clip and of course the song.
I like the bass guitarist in the chair : more casual than a jamaican guy in a long chair after a one meter walk
Alabama Shakes - Future People (Live from Capitol Studio A) [Official Video] - YouTube

Here’s one that caught my ear because I thought Gwen Stefani started singing the blues but on further investigation it’s Nikki Brooks from the south London trio ‘the jujubes’
The Jujubes - Where Are We Now... - YouTube
Edit: sorry, just noticed the clip is only 15 seconds long and I can’t seem to find a full version……if any one else can find it please post it up.

Cant put my finger on why I like this one but thought it was cool
Mikey Junior - She's Good at Being Bad - YouTube
The record release sounds a bit better but live is all I could find.
Edit……just to be clear I don’t just put up random stuff, it has to be in or just added to my playlist to qualify.

I like that sounds that comes back almost to the roots.
Makes me think about this grup : The Temperance movement. More charted like a classic rock band, but the musicians are awesome first class in their first LP.
so Blues, sort of : The Temperance Movement "Serenity" - YouTube
the lyrics of this one are pure blues while the music is less : The Temperance Movement - Only Friend (Official Rehearsal Session) - YouTube
what ******* good musicians... thanks guys for that God bless you.
Try to go back with some ethiopan "blues" music later...

Fado Blues from the Republica de Cabo Verde CESARIA EVORA - Sodade. Live In Paris at Le Grand Rex, April 2004. (HD). - YouTube
On a chance I got a used CD from Lucky Peterson, and really liked it. The heavy use of both Hammond and guitar reminds me of 60s and 70s rock. He died at age 55 only a year ago.

Yeah, cool guy, I even didn't know he was not still with us (RIP).
he overlaps, blues, Soul, rock 'n' roll !
Going back to this Thread title, I was wondering if this famous one was not the best ever modern Blues song (needs a definition though) : Wish You Were Here - YouTube
It touches the Sky.

Iggy, The Temperance Movement is awesome!
……Romani isn’t exactly blues unless you consider it’s rather depressing on a whole.
Fado blues is new to me, I’ll check it out deeper……..I grew up with a friend whose family were from Cape Verde, nice folks.
Ben, I had no idea Lucky died either……I saw him in the early 90’s (maybe even late eighties?) at a nightclub in St. Pete beach FL, I remember it was a blast!

What happens when you put Warren Haynes and Billy Gibbons together…….sheer awesomeness!

Well here’s a instrument I’ve never seen before, a resonator mandolin……apparently they were made at the same time as the resonator guitars starting in the late 20’s and early 30’s.
Here’s very cool use of one!
Like What You See? | WHEN RIVERS MEET - YouTube
Edit….when I first heard this (without the video) I thought it was a mandolin and a resonator guitar playing separately and was quite surprised when I saw what it was…..on recollection I believe I’ve heard the sound before but had never known what it was! Much like the slide banjo that had tricked me years ago before I’d seen some old footage of someone playing one in their lap slide style!

It's maybe not so Blues, cause often there is a sort of Joy beyond the hard days. I like those Ethiopians singers that were modern before the modern Africa. There was a tradition at Addis Ababa where the bars boss were at night singer in their bars... boss being a man or a woman, without any problem when it comes to sing and play music.
A very good, almost Blues, album : Ethiopiques vol 1 - YouTube with some joy beyond the curtain !
