All of my life I have been wanting some evil electric guitar blues music.
I love the old blues from long ago, but want something more harsh and electric. Something that burns (and not in the Stevie Ray Vaughn way!)...
Are there any current artists that are out there that I should check into?
RL Burnside and T-Model Ford and not without their charms. personally, it sounds to me like EXACTLY what you want are the two cuts Pat Hare did for Sun -- "Bonus Pay" and the incredible "I'm Gonna Murder My Baby". They're generally on Volume 1 of any Sun blues comp. Pat Hare died in prison. About two noted into "Murder My baby", you realize it had to be that way. I played it for Thurston Moore about twelve yrs ago, and he just flipped. And, by the way John, great to see such nice notices for you in WIRE. skip h NP: Donny Hathaway (s/t)
