I'd add Kenny Wayne Shepherd to the list. His Live Alive album is one of the
best examples of Texas Blues out there. He went out on the road and recorded
sessions with many of the greats from earlier eras and just let them play
while he did backup. And Kenny Wayne is pretty incredible himself.

I was at a Christmas party tonight and was talking up Texas Swing. A
guy told me to look into Texas Blues - told me that Texas Swing was
fine but that Texas Blues was better.

He gave me three names.


Joe Ely.

Albert King.

Texas Troubadours.

I grew up in Pennsylvania.

You tell me.
