In Spain, it's their Euro Blues Challenge entry, A Contra Blues. A totally-pro outfit with 2 swell guitars. Only 1 generally available CD ('13's Chances)--the Site lists 4 more.
Their Site: http://acontrablues.com/ << They play a lot and host regular Blues parties in their home city, Barcelona.
Some songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlqbKv1xjQ4 << the younger drummer is not just sitting in --no info on him but he sure does the job.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BP6F5hsWjsw << from that Gumbo Jam they host << narrative in Spanish, natch, but sing in English
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kO0_g9_9fkg << "Fever" filtered through Spanish sensibility and language--it so works!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-d31wy9AVsw << Had to put this one in for the Bob Dylan fans...2 guitars play well off each other
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFx08jaxQFY << Lovely and eloquent << If you want to think Ray Charles-ish, go ahead--it's a supreme compliment.
