(Finished June 1st, 2021) The Best of Contemporary Blues, Part 1: Songs 1-17

Hello,

I'm not sure how I missed Billy Gibbons, of ZZ Top, solo work. He has three solo, essentially blues CDs. The third of those three CDs comes out Friday, it is "Hardware". The car on the cover is a homage to ZZ Top's heyday. For purposes of this blog I mean contemporary blues within the last 10 to 15 years.

1) Billy Gibbons "Got Love If You Want It":

2) Billy Gibbons "Missin' Yo Kissin":

3) Billy Gibbons "Treat Her Right":

Bonus old school song with a new bluesy tinge. Orianthi, ZZ Ward and Billy Gibbons "Sharp Dressed Man":
