Today's post comes from a suggestion by a long time reader (Thanks MaryAnne Steinert) who told me about this blues-y artist from the UK that she first saw on PBS, and then was blessed to see live locally. 

The artist is Joanne Shaw Taylor, and I have got to say that I was totally, 100% floored. The smoky *sultry* voice, the killer chops, and just a killer vibe across the board.

I watched a few vids on YT, including one with Joe Bonamassa playing backup, and they all just floored me. 

Here's one titled "I've Been Loving You too Long":

Naturally, she has a [website](https://www.joanneshawtaylor.com/?ref=sweatyspice.com) where you can buy albums and merch. It looks like in October she's doing a swing through Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina. Makes me wish I lived in Asheville NC...

Anyhow, a hearty thanks to MaryAnne for this introduction. Joanne is a gem! 

I will leave you with one more track, Jealousy recorded live in London over a decade ago. Enjoy!
