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
