Recommended BLUES recordings

I am looking for any CD suggestions that have to do mainly with INSTRAMENTAL BLUES. However, I appreciate all of your suggestions.

For a softer sound, but still "Chicago", try Otis Rush's "Lost in the Blues". I also really like Koko Taylor's music, but it's much more "vocal" than instrumental. Happy Listenening. Craig.

As I understand it, this CD was made to call attention to and benefit the homeless. Besides being excellent Blues, it is one of the best recordings I've heard. Mostly vocal, but very highly recommended. Long live the Blues. Cheers. Craig.
