Recommend me some excellent blues

[Earthday]

More rock oriented blues preferred, but as long as its quality other types of blues is fine. Artists, albums, songs, links to youtube videos are all helpful. Thanks.

Oh yes, Eric is the man!

I saw him open for Steve Vai and his set was amazing! Long, bluesy workout jams that were simply incredible! To top it all off, my brother caught his slide! I love Eric, his stuff is incredible.

I always found that album kinda funny. Muddy Waters, himself, is said to have not liked it very much, comparing the guitar parts to wet cats yowling or something along those lines.

Howlin' Wolf got sucked into that psychadelic thing the record company wanted done... he called his record, "This is Howlin' Wolf's new record... He doesn't like it."

[Scott in Dallas]

Bugs Henderson

[bassist 4 life]

Gary Moore, The Hooters(try the song Johnny B)
