My Take

Sue Foley earns my admiration as a guitarist who carved out space in the stubbornly male world of blues and did it on pure musicianship. A Canadian from Ottawa playing Texas blues, she has won the Blues Music Award five times and shared stages with B.B. King and Buddy Guy, the kind of validation that only the genre's own elders can grant. What I love is the duality in her playing: an Aries fire when the song demands intensity, and a delicate acoustic touch when it asks for restraint. She trades flash for feel, and that is exactly the kind of artist I keep coming back to.

Overview

Sue Foley (born March 29, 1968) is a Canadian blues guitarist and singer/songwriter known for her Texas blues style and acoustic touch. A five-time Blues Music Award winner for Traditional Blues Female, and a Juno recipient, she has shared the stage with musicians including B.B. King and Buddy Guy.
