Anyone listen to Blues?

[Ariel]

Any good suggestions for songs/artists?

So far I have:

John Lee Hooker - Boom Boom
Bo Diddley - I'm A Man
Muddy Waters - Elevate Me Mama
Muddy Waters - I Just Wanna Make Love To You
Buddy Guy - Remmeberin' Stevie
Buddy Guy - Damn Right I've Got The Blues
Taj Mahal - Here in the Dark
Koko Taylor - Wang Dang Doodle

I don't know that much about Blues; I have just started to get into it. I love Stevie Ray Vaughn, but I would like artists other than him. Any help would be appreciated!

Keb Mo is great. Check out his album "Slow Down."

Youve got the basics covered...

Robert Johnson, Eric Clapton's From the Cradle, Jonny Lang, Shannon Curfman, and The Kenny Wayne Shephard Band (sp?).

Hope this helps. I'd really recommend Shannon Curfman. She's 15, and has unlimited potential.

If you like rockified blues, try some Ronnie Earl and the Broadcasters, Stevie Ray Vaughan. There'a a whole bunch more but haven't been into blues for awhile. Ronnie Earl is an excellent guitar player.

I have a long playlist with about 80 songs extracted from Grim Fandango, a film-noir adventure game.....has the coolest blues / jazz music.

You could always squeeze a little John Hammond in there, Ariel.

I was also gonna suggest Buddy Guy, but you seem to have already seen the light.
