One of the blues greats BB King has passed away.. Admired his guitar playing from a very young age.

Another fine musician gone. Thankfully, we have Justin Beiber to fill his shoes.

I try to retain a balance on here, understanding others opinions, mostly.

 

But I have just put out a contract on your assassination Ken! :-)

Ah but didn't say that the Beibs could fill BB's shoes with talent. In fact, I'm struggling think of anything that the little tit could fill them with.

 

Thankfully, there are a few up and comers.

To me they are all blues rock rather than pure blues exponents, for that look at the likes of Keb Mo, Ben Andrews, Little Toby Walker and Gary Clark Jr.

For an even pure blues, try

Robert Johnson

Son House

Little Walter

Big Bill Broonzy

Leadbelly

Charlie Patton

Honeyboy Edwards, to name but a few.

I have a fair collection of Delta Blues recording artistes Tony

 

Keb Mo, got to agree there, great performer.

And another " new name " Eric Bibb, although he does cross a wide range of genre's, Gospel, Blues, blues, etc
