V8s & 12 Bars

Having a hard time finding what I'm looking for lately.

I've been questing for some southern country / delta blues, preferably multi-instrumental (slide / steel guitar, banjo, harmonica, mandolin, accordion, upright bass etc) and extra swampy but I'm looking for albums with decent studio production, which understandably excludes a lot of great **** from the 20s - 50s, but I'm looking for thick multi-layered blues with confident and ambitious instrumental backing, the kind of stuff that I'd imagine played significant role in influencing bands like The Allman Brothers.

Try to keep it acoustic, keep it busy, keep it twangy, big jams, no generic bare naked 12-bars.
Huge bonus points for slide guitar and banjo, bonus points for harmonicas, bonus points for open tunings, bonus points for instrumentals.

It sounds to me that what you're really looking for is bluegrass.

Hello,

Could you please help me define the exact kind of music this song is : Kicca and Intrigo - Neve

Also, as I really like this one, could someone recommend other songs similar to this one ?

Thanks !

Haha, that's funny, I've got that Miles Davis album on right now.
I'll check out the Coltrane one, because I really enjoyed Blue Train.

I've recently fallen in love with Django Reinhardt material and what seems to be called 'gipsy jazz'. Has anyone by any chance got some GJ recommendations up his/her sleeves?
