★ 2017十張最推薦藍調類年度佳片

2017 Best Blues/ Blues-Rock Albums 儘管藍調音樂這幾年一直都是老將頂住局面的天下，但這幾年的發展，開始出現一些新的好手，其中如Hayes McMullen或甚至幾位新鮮辣妹面孔像是Samantha Fish、Pam Taylor、Mollie Marriott、Larkin Poe都逐漸從美國各地的酒吧磨練開始嶄露頭角。

不過說來，今年仍就先以老將回歸仍是最有看頭，如同樣是最後遺作，於五月甫過世的Gregg Allman，幾位黑人老將Robert Cray、Otis Taylor，甚至Taj Mahal 和Keb’ Mo’兩人聯手打造的〈TajMo〉都將會為許多樂迷帶來津津樂道的藍調佳話。 1.
