Jack the Sailor, mentioning Johnny Lang in the same breath as B.B King, Stevie Ray Waughn and Eric Clapton is akin to sacrilege.

Murray

Sacrilege??? We're just talking about music here, just the first three that came to my head that you could find easily in a record store. Besides, I wanted to include someone alive and younger than 50. (Not an easy thing to do with big name blues.)

Point is, as someone else said there are thousands. Of artists doing and who have done the blues. Anyone mentioned Ma Rainey?
