How cool is Jimmie Vaughan? His most recent album, Do You Get the Blues?, is 7 years old, yet Vaughan’s deep and abiding love of timeless R&B runs on no one’s calendar. That’s no surprise for someone who has literally been a blues legend since his teens. Vaughan relocated from Dallas in the early 1970s, just in time to spearhead the second-generation blues movement with the Fabulous Thunderbirds, rocking places like Antone’s and the Rome Inn by the end of that decade.

A great stoner-rock act with solid credentials—guitarist Eddie Glass and original drummer Ruben Romano, who left the group in 2006, used to play in Fu Manchu—Nebula plays the kind of blistering tunes that should come standard with every bitchin’ Camaro.

Is grunge back, or did it ever leave? South African band Seether closely follows other post-Nirvana sad-sack outfits like Staind, trading off minor-key rockers with minor-key power ballads on its 2002 major-label debut, Disclaimer, and its remixed follow-up, Disclaimer II. The band sprung straight onto the Billboard charts with this formula on its 2005 effort Karma And Effect, then right back off again with its acoustic follow-up One Cold Night.
