Monday morning blues: Blues picks for 2018

Blues is a weird genre. Not just because I find myself using the singular form, even though it should probably be plural. The blues are a weird genre? I don't know. One must ponder these things. (What is a grammar pedant to do?) What I mean is that some of the best blues around comes from non-Americans. Australians, in particular. However, since I do this "If you don't love __, you hate America" schtick, I'm trying to keep today's picks to Americans. Still, I have some good ones for you. First up, Damon Fowler's The Whiskey Bayou Session. Good, swampy blues, and the kid can play guitar. "Running Out of Time."

And, here are The Claudettes. A fun one from Dance Scandal At The Gymnasium!
