I don't hear enough new music to be able to judege. I feel like I'm still catching up on old music.

One newer artist who caught my attention is a throwback to blues-rock of the late 60s/70s and that's Joe Bonamassa (also mentioned by FP). I heard "Sloe Gin" on a Classic Rock guitar playlist and immediately started to research. That song is a cover of a 70s song and I'm not sure how much of his material is new but that's not the kind of research I'm interested in. If it sounds good, I don't care when it was written.

I really like JD SOuther's latest album, Tenderness, and I prefer it to his 70s material.

I hear the occasional good song on the tv but I rarely put the effort in to find who it is. For example, I liked "Peeling Off the Layers" by Wildbirds and Peacedrums that was used for the tv series, "Fortitude".
