"It's nice to know the young are carrying on the tradition"

I hate to be an old grouch, but I don't hear much tradition in there. Unless you mean the tradition of white-rock-electric-guitarists-influenced-but-not-necessarily-playing the blues. As in Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Stevie Ray Vaughan et al. Amex Card blues, pained-face Telecaster soloing blues, in the style of Robert Cray.

A list of young(ish) people who are a little closer to a country blues tradition, who make better music, might mention include the likes of: Pepe Belmonte, Samuel James, Duke Garwood, John Drain, Jack Day, Boycott Coca Cola Experience, Smoke Fairies, David Broad, Hat Fitz & Itchy, and others.
