What I’m really enjoying lately is the Louisiana swamp blues sound from the Excello label in the mid-50s. Lightning Slim, Lazy Lester, Slim Harpo, Lonesome Sundown. Just great stuff - lean guitar work, mournful, spacious sound and tight harp solos.

Check out Lucky Peterson's cover of Blind Willie Mctell’s Statesboro Blues. Really well done.
