I was thinking of Tedeschi Trucks Band. Derek's playing, Susan's voice, that crazy dude on sax, the rest of the band... they gel wonderfully in my opinion.

For me it would probably be Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Bob Brozman is still the best acoustic blues guitarist I've ever seen in concert.

:confused: Wow.. too many to list for me at least.

In no particular order:
Michael Burks (RIP)
Eric Clapton
SRV (RIP)
Joe Bonamassa
Jeff Beck
Duane Allman (RIP)

I'd always like to come up with something different and call someone very little known player the best, but to be honest, I have to be generic, again.
Stevie Ray Vaughan is great, but I think the best one is Clapton. But they both are white people and my knowledge about blues is pretty little, so I guess there could have been better player somewhere but they are not as well known as those two.

Let me help you with that question, the Best Blues Guitarist was Albert King.

^ That`s an intricate piece which really showcases GL`s playing, Frownland.

Have you heard the album Rishte that he made with Najma Akhtar ?
I found it pretty disappointing because Gary`s contribution is largely lost beneath Najma`s vocals. It feels like he relegated himself to acoustic rhythm guitarist.

At least in this clip with Najma Akhtar, he`s plugged in and doing something noticable, so imo it`s an improvement on Rishte:-
