The Jazz & Blues Recommendation Thread (funk, punk)

[RonaldSays]

I recommended these Dutch performers in another thread:
Also I can highly recommend Dutch performers Benjamin Herman (also with New Cool Collective), Michiel Borstlap, Eric Vloeimans and Jasper Blom.
All worth checking out.

Considering I am a huge delta blues fan. I will just go ahead and direct you to some of the most respected, and heart throbbing blues artists I have had the pleasure of discovering.

Robert Johnson
Huddie Leadbetter Williamson (Aka: Leadbelly)
Mississipi John Hurt
Skip James
Charlie Patton
Blind Lemon Jefferson
ANDDDDDDDDDDDD Son House.

Hope you enjoy these great legendary blues musicians as much as i do!

Nostrovia!

Agreed on these suggestions; however, not all of them were Delta bluesmen. Also, it's Huddie William Ledbetter, aka Lead Belly, not Leadbelly.

Keeping with Southern flavoured blues, I'd like to add these bluesmen:

Blind Willie Johnson
Mississippi Fred McDowell
Lightnin' Hopkins
John Lee Hooker (his album Burning Hell is some of the best acoustic blues ever recorded)
Barbecue Bob
Big Bill Broonzy
Ishman Bracey
Reverend Gary Davis
Tampa Red
Bukka White

The Mississippi Sheiks were one of the, if not the most popular band in Mississippi, and most of the South, of their time.
