If you dig SRV, you will love -------

I am a big Stevie Ray Vaughan fan.. wondering what other artists fellow SRV fans enjoy (similar genre, style)..

Thx..

Indigenous, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, and Ian Moore are some mighty good blues-rock choices, though Ian Moore is a bit farther away from the SRV style. And, don't forget Jimi Hendrix - Stevie Ray's style clearly showed Jimi's influence.

Hi Wayne -

Albert King was SRV's biggest influence and well worth checking out. Buddy Guy, Albert Collins and Stevie Ray's brother Jimmie are also among my favorites in that style of blues.

Excellent.. I will give both artists a try! Have a few Hendrix in my collection.. Quote:

You might also give a listen to the first Eric Gales Band album, the one that features Sign of the Storm, in the rock blues category. I wasn't particularly impressed with his later solo efforts though.

Joe Bonamassa. All of his albums are good but the one called Blues Deluxe is just amazing.

Hendrix!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KWS is a very good recommendation, so X2 on that, stick to the two early albums - Ledbetter Heights and Trouble Is.

Well Albert King is an obvious choice. "In Session" gives you an idea on how much inspiration SRV drew from A.King.

You can try Blues Saraceno as well, albums are slightly hard to find, but its totally worth it.

I agree on Joe Bonamassa. Also look at Walter Trout. I particularly like Full Circle and Go the Distance.

A little further afield in terms of guitar style, but pretty amazing in its own right is Sonny Landreth's Grant Street.

For more fun, check out Popa Chubby.

Check out Indigenous... they rock.

 

[Moocher]

Nearly forgot Luther Allison. Geez. Listen to Live in Chicago and Bad News is Coming for two different sounds from him.

Jimmy Thackery is worth a listen, too, though his technical prowess isn't up to Bonamassa's or Trout's, his group is very good and they do some excellent work.

If the intro when entering Blues Saraceno is any litmus test to the albums, it will be a MUST for me to find!!
