Os indicados para o 39º Blues Music Awards





                Foram divulgados os indicados ao 39º Blues Music Awards, maior prêmio do blues, organizado pela Blues Foundation e que representa uma coleção dos artistas que mais se destacaram e representaram a diversidade e o espírito do blues. A cerimônia do 39th Annual Blues Music Awards acontecerá em 10 de Maio de 2018. Grande parte dos indicados consta também nas listas de melhores do ano do Filho do Blues, mas senti falta de alguns, como Eric Bibb, Rev. Sekou, Van Morrison, por exemplo. A novidade é a criação de mais dois prêmios: o artista do ano do Blues Rock e os melhores vocalistas do ano. Segue abaixo a lista completa:
