- Joe Bonamassa. The world’s most high-profile blues guitarist has spent 2019 packing out pretty much every large, red-plush seated theater he can find in support of last year’s masterly Redemption.
- Eric Clapton. For a player who made his bones in the ‘60s with Cream and Blind Faith, back when the color TV was still novel, Slowhand made a respectable attempt at breaking the internet when he played While My Guitar Gently Weeps with Peter Frampton at this year’s Crossroads Guitar Festival.
- Derek Trucks. Is there a better slide player in the world right now? Trucks is the highest slide specialist in our voters’ list, and perhaps that is because his sensibility is such that he never overpowers the jam, often positioning his Gibson Artist Series Dickey Betts SG somewhere in the uncharted frequencies shared by vocals and guitar, and as an enigmatic counterpoint to his wife Susan Tedeschi’s Strat or Les Paul.
- Buddy Guy. Profiled in the New Yorker as “the last of the bluesmen,” Buddy Guy might be 83 years young but he has more than plenty sap in the tree, and can presently be found, Strat in hand, at venues up and down the length and breadth of the United States.
- Led Zeppelin. 1,519 votes. Few bands have ever been as impactful as Led Zeppelin in the world of blues rock, with their fusion of powerful vocals, bone-crushing guitar riffs, and intricate musical arrangements.

- The Allman Brothers Band. 963 votes. Southern rock royalty, The Allman Brothers Band, put their own spin on blues-rock with their trademark twin-guitar harmonies and extended jam sessions.
- Kaleo. Iceland isn’t a country best known for the blues, but Kaleo are working hard to change that perception. Their second studio album ‘A/B’, which they released in 2016, was a great success – selling almost 1 million copies worldwide.
- The Marcus King Band. It is a real skill to play blues in a way that resonates with a mainstream audience. Fusing blues and soul, The Marcus King Band have struck that rare balance between catchy melodies and killer guitar solos.
- Tyler Bryant and the Shakedown. I was lucky enough to see Tyler Bryant and the Shakedown in London shortly before Christmas last year. It was one of the best gigs I’ve been to in recent years.
- Philip Sayce. When the British blues scene exploded in the late 1960s, guitarists were lauded for their technical prowess. The guitar formed the centrepiece of so many of those iconic songs.
