Robert Johnson.
we need manitou, he's well into his blues.
joe bonamassa for some modern
stevie ray vaughan for some classic
albert king for some vintage
sonny boy williamson for some old old blues
Cheers chaps , let the downloads begin.
+1 for Joe
Also, check out some early ZZ Top.
canned heat - 'boogie with'
peter green's fleetwood mac ( the very, very early stuff, before green went a bit hatstand )
Jimi H ne day
For British White Boys blues try the Groundhogs - Split is a good place to start.
The Black Keys
Rubberfactory and Thickfreakness are good
Kev
Oh god. Elizabeth Cotton, mississipi John hurt, blind willie mctell, bulks White and old ghosts 😉
ten years after , humble pie, groundhogs, yardbirds
RL Burnside and Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. Jimmy Page and the Black Crowes live at the Greek has some good blues numbers on it.

Modine[/url]. Not exactly blues, but not exactly not...
Hendrix was an incredible blues guitarist.Search for Red House, Hear My Train a Comin, Voodoo Chile, plenty of others. After that I like old school stuff like Howlin Wolf, John Lee Hooker etc.
+1 Bonamassa... Also Davey Knowles, Oli Brown and Joanne Shaw Taylor, the modern faces of british blues.
BB King is the master of taste, while SRV was 100% feel... there's way too many to list.
Skip James all the way FTW.
Early Ray Charles is pretty spectacular.
FCOL knottie, you're not going for a walk, in the dark, on the Q's are you??? You OK?
Bit late to the party but would echo some of the above. Joe Bonamassa is awesome, as is Steve Ray Vaughan/B B King/Jimi. Also check out Aynsley Lister who's more rock/blues, as is the earlier stuff of Kenny Wayne Shepherd.
Don't forget that some of the STW guys are putting together another jam session. 8) stratobiker will be able to supply a link to the others. 🙂
Could you please let us know when you get back safely?
As Well as those already mentioned ;
Junior Wells - Hoodoo Man Blues
Allman Brothers - Live at the Fillmore East
Rory Gallagher - Live in Europe
Anything by Muddy Waters, Lightnin' Hopkins, Otis Rush, Sonny Boy Williamson..............
Should be a start.
The Hoax, Jon Amor.
Davey Knowles & backdoor slam
black keys,black diamond heavies, left lane cruisers and ultra violet booze conspiracy.
modern dirty blues is my kinda shit at the mo'
check a comp'album by the name of root damage for a lots of different blues styles
And don't forget the father of the British Blues - John Mayall.
Plus Climax Blues Band and Buddy Guy
rubberneck, interesting suggestions, i've been looking for a replacement for the black keys now that they've gone shit.
Junior Kimbrough was one of the black key's inspirations, check out their chulahoma LP for fuzzed out, grimy swamp blues. JK's "All night Long" is a classic.
Enjoying Freddie McDowell at the moment, Mississippi blues is a classic finger picking album.
Hound Dog Taylor for some classic slide, if it still exists there's some classic footage of him from the fifties, grainy!
I got a Santana bootleg called "Soul Sacrifice" which kicks the ass out of any of his studio stuff, really murky, fuzzy latin beats with some brilliant clear solos ringing out over the top, can't find it in shops now but it was released by delta music.
edit: apologies, too many 'classics', I've been on the whisky...
All of the above
I also like Paul Butterfield Blues Band, East/West
Howlin' Wolf's London sessions are a good way into Howlin' Wolf
Skip James all the way all right!
Also Son House, Charley Patton, Tommy Johnson..... actually any blues records from the 1920s and early 1930s there are masses of them and not a dud amongst them.
