Blues music

There's gotta be some blues fans out there.. I have been listening to a recording of a live show back in '68 with B.B. King, Jimi Hendrix and probably other greats I don't know about and I'm finding I really enjoy it. Any blues buffs out there want to make some suggestions etc.? BTW I can burn a copy of this for anyone who's interested..

get a bass guitar, and start playing, you'll be filled with the blues spirit..

I think that Stevie Ray Vaughan is the most compelling artist of the genre, though he never gets props from blues purists. For reasons that are pretty obvious but I won't get into that.

How 'bout Robert johnson? Skip James?

Blind willie Johnson, Howlin Wolf. Blind Lemon Jefferson. Muddy waters is great. Bukka White is phenomenal. Now, Almost all of these artists played ealry in the 20th century. I love this stuff, delta blues, etc. Huge fan of it, and slide blues. I don't much care for a lot of the modern overproduced blues. For instance, I don't care for Robert Cray.

For modern stuff, I loved Stevie Ray Vaughn. And I like Robert Cray, and there's some young white boys that are pretty good .. like Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Johnny Lang. Older blues stuff? No one has mentioned John Lee Hooker yet. Muddy Waters & Robert Johnson for sure. Gotta throw in Buddy Guy for good measure.
