Didn't Peter Green go into some sort of drug induced reclusion some years ago, and just recently (in the past 2 or 3 years) come out of it and light things up with some new tunes?
I can't say who is best, it is like trying to pick the best running back, "on any given Sunday....!" I'm sure all of the above-mentioned performers have had magical nights, where they would make your hair stand up. For me, one of those nights was seeing two of my favorites playing together on the same stage at the Palace of Auburn Hills - Eric Clapton and SRV - WOW, what a rush!!
For those who question Jimi's blues, try listening to:
Jimi Hendrix:Blues
Some other interesting blues guitar selections:
Otis Rush - Mourning in the Morning
Alvin Bishop - playing w/Paul Butterfield on "The Resurrection of Pigboy Crabshaw
Robin Trower - Someday Blues
Eric Clapton - E.C. Was Here ("Have You Ever Loved a Woman" is a personal favorite)
Buddy Guy - Buddy's Baddest (greatest hits)
and for some serious house rockin blues guitar,
Showdown! - with Albert Collins, Robert Cray and Johnny Copeland
its all good
