Nice and different but I wouldn't call it blues.

No, it isn't Chicago or Delta blues and derivatives, but to me it seems based on African blues, the root music in any case, in the structure and rhythms, lyrical structure, and call-and-response. I don't know, maybe it falls under the completely vague label of "world music".  According to Wiki, they are categorized under the Tishoumaren ("music of the unemployed") genre, which seems, being unemployed myself, to be a basis for the blues.   In any case, whatever the label, I really like them. The bass and guitar riffs are great. They are really great live, but in the US they seem to only get small club gigs (which was GREAT as far I was concerned, to be 10 feet away!), whereas in Europe they apparently sell out far larger venues.

I was clicking around and found this. It's kind of long but it's good...it's the guitar showdown from the Crossroads movie.

Bonnie Raitt and Taj Mahal....on tour right now I believe.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1edi...5659DC&index=0 Big fan of Francine Reed who lives here in Atlanta and sings back-up for Lyle Lovett. She's killer! Delbert McClinton and of course Clapton is always close by.

Blues can take many different forms, but the blues that I dig is guitar heavy and dirty.
For "new" blues, I like the Black Keys and Gary Clark Jr. However, it's still hard for anyone to touch SRV. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GSpb...eature=related Wow! Texbike

But nothing about them is NEW blues, nor much of what's been mentioned here. And on the rare occasion I do hear something that's both new and blues, it doesn't sound much different than the old blues. Which is just fine with me. Kind of like someone once asked George Thoroughgood why he never wrote any songs and he said "because Chuck Berry already wrote 'em all", which is how I feel about the blues. Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, BB King, and Jimi/SRV are all I need to know. Everyone else was/is just copying one or more of those folks. -Ray
