Is there a thread? Sorry i didn't search. This guy is badass. He had Kim Wilson playing harp on the set i just watched, which is kinda like god coming down and blessing you, good shit.

It's Austin City Limits, and now it's Black Joe Lewis And The Honeybears. Badfuckingass.

edit:And now they brought out "The Relatives", four big ole black dudes that can sing their asses off. This is outstanding.

Well worth a listen.

ice, ice baby .... you are usually pretty quick and observant on these kind of music issues. however, this time, you are a little late to the game; you must be sick or something

Raphael has been amongst a small (but growing) number of younger artists re-infusing our sometimes stale music world with some good old fashioned soul songs. Glad you found him. Go hunting; there are more out there

You may also enjoy Emeli Sandé. She's got an absolutely stunning voice.

Your welcome; glad you like. Been holding onto these recs for a couple of years now just waiting for some ol' soul boy like you, Tippster or Splat to ask for some modern, but respectful of the originals groove music

... some modern day Carl Perkins or Little Richard for you to get your drink on early in the evening

I'd guess I knew about half of them, the other half gives me something to do besides get my drink on, thanks.

Here's one from an unknown little band here in Mass., "The Neal McCarthy Problem", they put on a hell of show.

When I have a party here in the Spring I'm gonna have Neal play. It's really just him and a revolving cast of characters depending on who's available and what's going on, but all the cats he plays with can bring it. Last time I saw him the guy on the bass in this video was playing a fretless bass he had just built himsef - said he took the clamps off it that morning - and he tore it up. And the drummer had a snare and a tophat and that's it. And he was killing it. Good shit.
