Any bands that sound like Badbadnotgood? Modern, noirish feel to their sound, I dig it.

Start with Robert Johnson, move forward to B. B. King; insert Clapton while resting.

I know this will prompt some disagreement, but please be respectful... it's just my opinion. To put it mildly, including Clapton in the same post as Robert Johnson and BB is disturbing. To put more of my heart into it, Clapton is overrated... he tries to play himself off as a blues guitarist, but he's a rock guitarist influenced by blues greats with whom he dreams about being in the same class.

There are just too many great performances of Scott H. Biram for me to choose which one to post... so I picked one of the first I saw on YouTube. If you haven't heard of him, give this a listen and maybe look for some others. If you get a chance to see him live you will be in for a treat - a rawnchy, vulgar treat but a treat nonetheless!

First of all thanks alot ...
BBking Clapton Johnson and Scott H Biram are awsome , but not the specific type i was looking for...
Beacuse i'm new , i'm not allowed to post URL to other sites , but if you will type "swampy slide guitar" on YouTube , you will find a few slow, istrumental , creepy tunes that i was talked about ..
Do anyone of you guys know an artist\band who plays (only) tunes like that ?? Beacuse I search 4 hours without any results..
Tnx again

Guy,
Actually, I hadn't intended SHB in response to slide guitar. I will post more soon (possibly as late as sometime this weekend though) about slide guitar folks. I know the sound you're talkin' about.

Hello. I'm looking for more big band musicians of today, sort of like Gordon Goodwin for example. Could you please help? Thank You.

Hi there,could somebody recommend me some dirty and raw contemporary blues artists ?

PhD Researcher · 03-17-2013, 01:51 PM

Check out Scott H. Biram. Especially his live stuff. He pretty much exemplifies dirty and raw when you put him behind a microphone
