I am a big fan of the Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band, young guys that have a great blues rock sound. Just no radio play . I also like Jonny Lang , another Blues Rock guy.
We have no way of hearing the 60/70s rock bands if they put out a new CD . Not old enough for classic rock not the right sound for the top 40 stations.
My guilty pleasure for country is Miranda Lambert and Kellie Pickler .
