No one's mentioned Mato Nanji, front man for Indigenous. Saw them years and years ago open for Lang at Chastain Park in Hot 'lanta. Incredible!!!! Still one of the best shows ever. The two of them played a few duel numbers at the endof Jonny's set.

Geeeeeez....Joe Bonamassa...."yawn"

"Wow Joe you play crap written 70 years ago real good...I know they are originals but my statement stands"....

Good player but come up with something. He is like the guitar version of Tony Royster Jr. Way ahead of their age early, major hype....turned out to be quality musicians and all...but not all that outstanding.

Its all the same...I mean I like listening to this genre once in a while ( 99% its SRV, Skinnerd or the best country rock/prog band Molly Hatchet and Indigenous is no where ear that level)....but it hasn't changed in 70 years...I can jump on stage with any blues band, not knowing the material and you would think I was in the band from day one...is old and dated, sounds good but its tired.

Just gotta stop putting these players as best of anything but playing recycled music.

Hello and welcome to 1996. Tell me, what color is your rock and does it have indoor plumbing?


That kid blew up the scene 20 years ago when he was 15. Beats is right though, it all starts to sound the same after a while.

Uh well....no...I don't own one..but there has been nothing new in that genre for 70 years, not saying it sucks, it has its place, good jams and all, I do enjoy it when in the mood, but just been so done so the same for so long...when they are mentioned as "best" in a genre that's so stagnant is well...best at doing what everyone else is and has been doing...uh...yeah

Innovation, creation, adaptation, change..then you can use "best'...which is all silly and subjective anyway.

No true, techno blues is relatively new. A good example would be Little Axe.

Why do you suppose that is?

I would guess that perhaps mainstream, if not rich, white guys can imitate all right...but blues....real blues...came from an entirely different segment of society

or...maybe...many purist aficionados of any genre tend to turn their noses up anything that comes later...whether derivative or truly innovative
