Need Blues Rec--burn the house down guitar stuff

Help Please!

I've Seen several blues artists live that were just amazing...topping that list is Buddy Guy back in the 80's. But, like others, his CDs never seemed to translate that raw club energy/presence I witnessed live. Blues has always been something I enjoy in person...but never really energizes me when I listen at home. I suspect It's out there and I am missing some great artists/performances. I would like some recommendations for:

Some blistering guitar driven/energetic/possibly live stuff--I don't want the slow stuff (I have that). (I guess when I think about it...it's more rock than blues I'm looking for)

I don't know if anyone has mentioned the Alligator Records "Houserockin' Blues" sampler series. These compilations include contributions by a variety of blues artists (some already listed here) on the Alligator label, and are pretty much specifically designed to satisfy the requirement you've described. You can also expect to find some new names that you may want to pursue beyond the samplers.

Good Luck,

Marty
