Disclaimer: I am by no means a blues expert. I am basing my answer off what I understand blues to be, not what it may technically be.

Alright, so a little under two months ago, I posted this weekly DJ. You were shouted out to in the comments and unfortunately never replied. No matter. They are probably the closest to blues I listen to, and this would probably be the best example of the bluesiest song they have:

With that being said, all of their music contains elements of blues, horns, a strong bass, etc. Not every song of theirs has strong blues elements like the one I posted. But still, don't give up on (what I understand to be) modern blues. There is hope.

Still, if it isn't the blues you're looking for, please for the love of Hubski, listen to this album the whole way through. It is one of my favorite albums. I can listen to it the whole way through no sweat. Enjoy it.
