The name sounds familiar but I can't place the voice/music. here are some winners from "W.C. Handy Awards Show" of 2002 put on by the the Blues Foundation. Maybe it will give you some ideas. I personally own Buddy Guy's "Sweat Tea" album and it's excellent ... kind of like grunge meets ZZ Topp meets Buddy Guy. I think it also won a Grammy for 2002 also:
