Walking bass lines

[Boomer]

Anyone know where I might find a decent collection of blues bass lines? I know a handful but I there are hundreds of walking bass lines and I need to increase the arsenal. I just don't know where to look.

TIA

Todd Cooman's "THE BOTTOM LINE" teaches you to walk on anything, starting with the blues.

I know what you mean.I've been play the blues for 25 years and you develop a mental block .I find myself rehashing the same old lines.Lately I've been listening to Duck Dunn ,Bill Wyman,Joey Spampinato and Willie Dixon for insperation.
It's helped alot.Gives me a different perspective.
You can buy a book but it really helps to hear how guys like these approach the same song in different ways.
