I have recently decided that the blues is my favourite genre ever.
I know another blues thread exists that was born and died last November, and I’ll attempt to revive that too.
However, I have compiled my own playlist of all my favourite blues through the ages but I can only imagine how many artists I have not yet discovered.
So, if you have any recommendations you’d like to share of artists I’ve left off, or even other songs by people I do have on there, I’d love to hear them!
Here is my playlist for reference:
I don’t discriminate based on instruments or eras, so send it all!
