A roundup of popular Western blues bands—also recommended for rock fans!

If you trace the history of rock ’n’ roll back far enough, you inevitably arrive at the blues.

The deeper you dig, the more you notice the profound allure of the blues.

Still, we’ve included some lesser-known groups as well, so if you’re interested, be sure to check them out!
