NePb Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 He may be more to the rock side of blues, but I've been a big fan of Colin James for a few years now. I dunno how modern you'll consider someone who's first album came out in 88, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigzag Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Who says that genres can't evolve and performers can't cross over? Jelly Roll Morton is considered by many to be the father of jazz, and he was the first to record "Hesitation Blues." Blues, Jazz-Blues, Blues-Rock... it's all good. I'm still scratching my head over the point of the OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 ......SaRon Crenshaw.....Mr. Sipp......Michael Dotson..... I had to look these guys up on youtube and they are all damn good too. Modern singers of the blues indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 IMHO, ANY "Great" singer, worth noting, should be able to do some great/convincing "blues" singing, along with most other genre's, beyond their normal comfort zone. Just like any other "Great" instrument player. They may have their preferences, of course, but should still be able to shine in other areas, as well. But, that's just MY opinion, and we all know what they say, about opinions. CB I'm having trouble imagining Plácido Domingo shouting Mannish Boy or Boom-Boom.
