I Got the Blues!

[Linkert]

Hey..
Im quite lost when it comes to blues artists.. The only two i know is pretty much Baba Blues and Muddy Waters. :P
Sure there is some blues with Jimi Hendrix and so on but im talking about pure blues.
Educate me in some nice blues (with a nice bass is a +).

You have two basic styles, delta blues and electric or chicago blues. I don't have a Ph.D. in it but off-hand I know Willie Dixon, Howlin Wolf, Willie McTell, Robert Johnson, Eric Johnson, Son House, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Bo Didley, BB King, ZZ Top, and who knows how many others. My favorite was always the old delta blues - really raw sound and most songs sound the same but you could hear/feel that it was real.

You like Modern blues or more old old old school blues?
Look up players like Muddy Waters, Jeff Healey, Stevie Ray Raughan, BB King.

Although, the previous posts got your covered for centuries.
