Before I get to my songs, I went to add Honeysuckle Blue to my personal blues playlist on Amazon, and it seems that Isbell did a cover of that song with his band. I just thought you'd want to know!
Now, with that out of the way: I briefly became obsessed with the Civil Wars a few years ago, and, coincidentally enough, it was this swampy blues stompin' song that got me into them:
I know we've already got plenty of John Mayer on the list (and we might even have this one already, though I didn't see it), but this excellent song is perfect for the beginning of spring:
I also discovered the Isbell version this morning. I had no idea and it's a pretty good cover!
I also became a little obsessed with the Civil Wars a few years back and LOVE this song. That whole album was pretty legit.
And there is no such thing as too much Mayer for me. Queen of California is the perfect spring blues song. I didn't really like Born and Raised when it was first released, but it has grown on me tremendously over the years. Same with Battle Studies.
I actually saw Big Bad Voodoo Daddy at a jazz festival and they were the ones that got me into jazz. That whole album is fun and a blast to listen to. And one can never go wrong with Louis Armstrong!
I forgot how much I LOVE Honeysuckle Blues!! What a great tune! And sorry for being a day late but I wanted to contribute!
Been meaning to share this one for a while now. “Value” by John Splithoff. The solo at the end is what brings in some blues influence and I think it works great. Plus it’s just a really good tune.
I've really enjoyed everything I've heard from Splithoff before but I also haven't heard very much. But I really enjoy this mellow tune and can hear the blues influence in the guitar. That guitar solo at the end is very subtle but very good. Good addition!

Both of these are a little more jazz than they are blues, but I feel like they can fit the genre.
Save My Soul by Big Voodoo Daddy: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=n6RzABcEwp8&pp=ygUhc2F2ZSBteSBzb3VsIGJpZyBiYWQgdm9vZG9vIGRhZGR5
And What a Wonderful World sung by Louis Armstrong: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rBrd_3VMC3c&pp=ygUWd2hhdCBhIHdvbmRlcmZ1bCB3b3JsZA%3D%3D
Loving this Big Voodoo Daddy tune. I really dig this style of big band/ jazz. This song is a lot of fun.
And there is always a place for Louis Armstrong on my playlists. A truly classic and timeless song. Blues enough for me! hahah
