while some of these guys aren't "little-known" i think they aren't exactly household names and may enlighten some of us to grab some great new music.

Blues/jazz crossover artist robben ford, i have many of his cds, and they all rock. truly a master improvisationist, but with "guts" and enough feeling to avoid being just a technical master and just play some damn good music.

Gov't Mule is some really ass-kicking blues-rock. guitarist warren haynes cut his teeth playing for the allman brothers, and broke out with his own trio and has never sounded better. one of my favorite bands of all time.

Chris duarte group. In my opinion, one of the best guitarists alive. while the recordings are good, nothing can touch the live experience of this band. think stevie ray meets hendrix with john coltrane mixed in. truly amazing woodshedding with some great bass playing by john jordan. if i ever need inspiration to keep playing, all i need is a dose of CDG to let me know what to aspire to.

melvin taylor and the slack band. This is just good modern electric blues, nothing ground breaking, but head and shoulders above many average bands for polish.



obviously my tastes are centered around a specific genre, let's hear what your faves are, please post a link to where we can get a sample. cheap cds usually has clickable samples of many, many artists.
