anyone could recommend some good new blues artists or maybe someone I haven't checked out. I've got mass quantities of the old stuff i.e B.B King, Lightnin' Hopkins, Buddy Guy, Roy Buchanan, Michael Bloomfield, Shoogie Otis, Albert Collins, Johnny Winter, etc. Any Clues?

Great selection of the older artists.. I really enjoyed Bloomfield and Buchanan years ago.. but newer stuff? I like Chris Cain from the SF. Bay Area.. Robben Ford, Garth Webber, Volker Strifler and a good all around guy.. Johnny Nitro.

Those are some pretty interesting questions. The music i hear depends on my mood and mind set. It is always possible to enjoy and observe the different skills and beauty in other genres.

The Northernblues label has a lot of good artists. Watermelon Slim is on there.
Also try Jimmy Thackery and go to Youtube.

Listen to "Ball and a Biscuit" by The White Stripes.
The vocalist/guitarist is Jack White.
He's into the roots.
*Also: Absolutely, this weekend, go out and get
introduced to Doyle Bramhall II the way I did.
He plays as Eric Clapton's sideman in...
"Sessions For Robert J".
It's a Cd/Dvd released in 2005 and none other
than Billy Preston plays keyboard throughout.
The acoustic set was recorded physically at
the address and I believe, very room that
Robert Johnson put down his work.
Bramhall II and White are the two BEST "new" ones
I know of. Truest to the roots.
For some of us THAT is what it's about.
Thanks.

Try listening to the internet blues radio stations. I found out about a lot of artists that I hadn't heard of before, including Joe Bonamassa and Walter Trout. I usually listen to "Absolute Blues Hits" on the Apple iTunes internet blues stations. A download of iTunes is available for PC users for free.

Well Jimmy Thackery isn't new, and has been around for about 35 years, but he is good!
Danny Gatton died young, but he was good (website link below). He didn't always play blues, though.
The newest I can think of is John Mayer (when he plays blues, look out!)
