Blues "must have, top 100" list?

Wow! Thanks for all the suggestions!

Rushton, I could not find Willie Dixon: The Blues Every Which Way. Your other picks look great. I also like acoustic blues.

Pbb, no luck with Zuzu Bollin, "Texas Bluesman"

Thanks again,

Ed

Here are some described as Mali and Senegal Blues. Very earthy. Supposedly the basis for all modern blues.

Baaba Maal & Mansour Seck "Djam Leeli: The Adventurers"
Corey Harris "Mississippi To Mali"
Ry Cooder & Ali Farka Toure "Talking Timbuktu"
Tinariwen "The Radio Tisdas Sessions"
Ali Farka Toure "The Source"

Anyone know blues history?

I will be much poorer after working through all the suggestions.

Thanks to all for the great posts.
