Christian blues.

Thanks Guilty/Forgiven.
Check "m" out later.

"The Electric Rev" 

Just a warning on the Jimmie Bratcher stuff.  While all of his previous albums have been very Christian in nature, his newest one "Secretly Famous" is definitely a secular project.  There's nothing that I see to be objectional with it, but there are some who might not want this due to the shift in lyrical content.

Thank you for telling this.

I like Crimson Blues quite a bit.  I'm new to this forum so it won't let me post a link, but go to Amazon and search under digital music for Crimson Blues & check out their album "Live and Kickin."  It's good, down 'n' dirty southern-sounding blues rock.

I had heard of these guys but never checked out their sound samples.  I might just have to download this!  Cool to find another good blues band!  Thanks, Deepfriar!

Thanks Deepfriar, will check them out.

np guys

I don't know, alldat, half the songs are over 6 minutes.

True, but there is something about a blues jam that I can follow.  Of course, it is mostly the leads being played over the same 3-4 chord progression.

I'm surprised people haven't mentioned Larry Howard and Q-Stone yet.

Try Chris Lizotte and Soul Motion for a sound that is similar to SRV, but not a clone.

Are all of his albums like that?  If so, I NEED to check those out!

Unfortunately that is the only one in the blues style.

Then I am going to snag that one up!  That one song is absolutely brilliant!

Although not Christian, I am probably going to get the boxed set of Stevie Ray Vaughn.  The man was a killer player.  Most of his stuff was not lyrically bad, either.

Another good one is Craig Erickson
Although not Christian music lyrically, Craig is a Christian.
I remember when he first came on the scene his cds were reviewed in some Christian magazines.

Sounds almost just like Rex Carrol Band!

I scored a cheap copy on Amazon of this.  Man, it's really good stuff!  I wish they'd done more.

The guitarist on this project is Raymond McDonald.  You may remember him from his two solo discs when he went under the name Sleepy Ray.

I made a new discovery this weekend that some of you might want to check out.  The band is called 10th Leper.  It refers to the 10 lepers that Jesus spoke of in a parable.  You will remember that all of them were healed but only the 10th leper returned to thank Him.  That is what they are referring to.

Their website is here:  [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

You can get their only album that was done in 2013 here at CD Baby:  [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Samples are available at CD Baby as well.

I remember Craig Erickson, was supposed to be like Stevie Ray Vaughn.

I really like the songs of Craig Erickson.
His songs reminds me so much to the blues Rex is playing.

Just came across this Ashley Cleveland track and it certainly seems fit for this topic. I love her raw voice. You can't go wrong with Ashley Cleveland.

I need to track down some Q Stone.

There are so many cool blues bands now that it's hard to make a choice what to order.

I finally tracked down the 2nd album from The Steve Riddle Band called "Trust".  I have had their debut for many, many years now and wanted to find the 2nd release.  Believe it or not, I found it still available through the band for only $10.  You just have to order the old fashioned way--through the mail.  I have to send a check or money order to them and they will send out the CD.
