There are so many styles of blues that it's impossible to generalize. There's Chicago blues by artists like Muddy Waters and Willie Dixon. Delta blues ... There's acoustic, electric, piano, harp and full band.
If you're coming from rock, Stevie Ray Vaughn would be a start. I started by reading the credits on Zeplin albums.
From jazz, jump blues and Roomful of Blues or Downchild would be a good launch.
More traditional blues can be sampled from any of hundreds of compilation discs until you find a preference.
