Yep, I'm a blues fan. Are there more Christian blues bands than Darrell Mansfield, Glenn Kaiser? That would be cool to add some more bluesy CDs to my collection.

V.I.H. Raging Grace Dean Berry
There are others, but you will have to search them out to find what you like. There are plenty of unsigned Christian blues bands, but not all of them will be more rock sounding like ZZ Top, Stevie Ray Vaughn, etc.

If you want acoustic blues, there's always Blind Willie Johnson. An actual blind street preacher and slide blues player, his voice is kinda rough but you get used to it.

Many of those projects no longer have samples. Except for a couple of newer releases, that page hasn't really been updated or made user friendly in the years I've known about it.
You can listen on Spotify. If this ain't blues, nothins' blues!
I like some of Jimmie's stuff, but this new album is definitely a swing towards the secular. Sadly, it is good music.
I guess I will keep looking.

Just checked out their samples and I like the music. However, the vocals were definitely more screamo than blues.
Check out the band The Jongo Trio. Dark sounding down-tuned trio with a style similar to ZZ Top. With the downtuning, they don't exactly sound the same though.

Whoops....I misspelled it. It's JONDO Trio. They sound like a down-tuned ZZ Top to me with Waylon Jennings singing. If you are unfamiliar with Waylon, he was a famous country music singer who probably is the father of "outlaw country". If you have never heard of him, check out the theme song to the tv series "The Dukes Of Hazzard". That's Waylon!

I've had that album for years and had hoped for a follow up. Sadly, that is the only album they have ever done.

This website is shutting down all sales. I have everything from there I would really want and they don't seem to have picked up anything new in years.
Here's some decent blues by Sleepy Ray McDonald:

What about the stuff from Eric Turner? At the end of this month I can order some more CDs. So it will be hard if I order both Eric Turner CDs or the CD from The Righteous Blues Band.

Thanks for sharing. He actually has two albums you can get for free. One is his newest but you will have to download it track by track.
I've got another one downloaded now from eMusic.
