Gotta check out Taj Mahal. His entire catalog is great. Start with Senor Blues, The Natch'l Blues, & Phantom Blues. He records many other people's material but always makes it sound his own, and the musicians he puts together are always great - very tasty stuff. Then try World Music & Sacred Island. Carey Bell is a harmonica player with the real thing. Paul Butterfield for Chicago Blues. The North Mississippi All Stars have a recent release that is rough and loud but hits home.
