Best Blues Band 

The Litigators

The Litigators are the kind of musicians who'll embarrass you in front of your boss, light up in church, come over to your house and guzzle all your aftershave, and give you a big hug when their shirts are drenched with sweat and beer (which is pretty much after every show). But they won't play what your old man calls the blues. In fact, the jury's still out (pun intended -- there are two lawyers in this band) as to whether the Litigators play the blues at all, technically speaking. But to hell with definitions -- this band's swampy, gospel-punk-loaded, Elvis-spanking rock and roll is close enough. If more blues bands sounded like this, then perhaps the genre wouldn't be so strapped for young listeners. And bluesmen might start getting laid again, too.
