2022. Sigh — still dealing with Covid, but things are better now, and our live music activities are finally returning. The blues music industry came out really strong, with no less than three career-defining works released this year by Buddy Guy, Tedeschi Trucks Band and Eric Gales. All three are mind-blowing works showcasing the blues, and should not be overlooked by any serious blues fan.
Our Blues Music Fan Radio DJs submitted their top 20 lists, ranked, and that was compiled into a master list. This top 20 list is a result. I think you’ll find the blues music industry well represented here. Enjoy!
