Prince's "Bob George" is definitely 12-bar blues.

i mean, it's a little dumb to say "X was the last great 12 bar blues". i mean, i'm sure somewhere last night on Earth some band somewhere was on a hot streak and it took flight....

Joe Louis Walker belongs to a lost generation of blues performers. He was too young for Muddy Waters’s and Buddy Guy’s era of classic electric blues; now 66, he’s too old for the revival being led by Gary Clark Jr. and Derek Trucks. Walker made his best music in the ’90s and ’00s, when few folks aside from hard-core fans were paying attention to the blues, but those recordings are still waiting to be discovered, and he’s still on the road playing those tunes.

I think I have heard him, but I don't remember for sure
