Your favorite blues album?

I would like to know what you think to be your favorite blues album. I have several compilations, some Big Joe Turner, and several Chicago local blues artists, but am looking for more. Please include why you like the album. I'm trying to expand my "Blues" horizons, and I know I have come to the right place. I look forward to your comments.

"Strike a Deep Chord", sub-titled "Blues For The Homeless". This is a CD by various artists. It came out several years ago and proceeds from its sales were to go to the homeless. I don't know if it's still available, but is sure worth looking for-- there is incredible emotion and understanding of the homeless on this album.

I also really like Buddy Guy's "Damn Right I've Got the Blues", his other music, and anything by Koko Taylor. Cheers. Craig

Rushton is right on about Robert Lucas. His "Locomotive" CD has fantastic slide guitar. Certainly one of my favorites. Craig
