Yup. I like Robert Johnson, Buddy Guy, B.B. King, and Eric Clapton.

Delta Blues. One guy. One steel guitar. One voice carefully nursed on cigarettes and whiskey.
Son House.
RObert Johnson.
Ledbelly.
Bucka White.
That kinda thing.

A few week ago on PBS I saw Martin Scorsese Presents the Blues � A Musical Journey. It was an awesome show.

The root of all my guitaring is founded in the blues.  I'd have to say my fav blues musician of all time is Howlin' Wolf.

As far as old school stuff goes, I'm most fond of the stuff Willie Dixon wrote for Little Walter. Luther Tucker on the guitar, for the most part.
Hubert Sumlin's guitar playing for Howlin' Wolf is choice, too.

Yep, just bought Hard Again by Muddy Waters, one of his best albums, I don't like his older stuff because the sound quality is very disappointing most of the time. John Lee Hooker has some great stuff too....

The blues are powerful, no other music seems closer to the soul IMO.
Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, John Lee Hooker , Robert Johnson, Taj Mahal. + Hendrix on acoustic doin the blues is amazing.
Rag time is great too - it captures the depression era more optimistically - Scott Joplin "Easy Winners" , "Pineapple Rag"
It's all great music.

Yeah, I had the pleasure of seeing Muddy Waters 3-4 times. Also John Lee Hooker, Johnny Winter (in 1969 - my first concert), Duane Allman a few months before he died, and a bunch of others. I'm partial to Delta and early Chicago-style. I've toured Mississippi and have photos of many gravemarkers/landmarks (which I will post if I can find them).
If you're partial to blues guitar soloing, my personal favorite track of all-time is Michael Bloomfield's cover of Albert King's "Don't Throw Your Love On Me So Strong" from Live Adventures. I've heard faster playing and more muscular playing but I've never heard playing with greater feel or style. Check it out.

Good selections all, but this guy deserves to be mentioned.
Otis is alive & well now and kicking out some great new Blues.
The above image is his latest album, but don't overlook his "White African" album.
Check him out.

David Gilmour (of Pink Fame) is also a blues guitarist. Some of his most bluesy riffs can be found on early Pink Floyd albums.

after seeing that PBS special, I went looking for little joe cook - stromy monday blues, and couldn't find it, anyone know where I could get it?
I like listening to all those fellows, Son House, BB, Albert King-born under a bad sign. Stevie Ray Vaughn does a damn good Little Wing on the Sky is Crying. Clapton's From teh cradle is good an dso is the collaboration he and BB did. BB's Ghetto Woman is a dman good song to listen to. Joh Lee Hooker does some good stuff. I also like to get out the ol guitar and play along with it, though I switch to some cuban stuff too. i suppose Cuban Jazz is kind of like their version of teh blues and just as good. Ry Cooder plays some interesting stuff, and RL Burnside ain't afraid to break out some weird stuff too.
Also, anyone know how true is this, i think it's false, but a friend whose a blues guitarist said BB King is ALbert King's brother and they have a third brother, I think he said Pee Wee King. Yet the PBS series made no mention of this or even Albert King much. I think it's a load of crap that they're related, though anyone ever hear of this too?
And don't forget Jimi, he played the blues like he was on Mars, there's a red house over yonder....

Albert King was in no way related to B.B. King. Nor was Freddy King.
