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.

Here's a few of my personal favorites:
1. "Showdown", with Albert Collins, Robert Cray, and Johnny Copeland (this recording was a Grammy winner, which often means nothing, but in this case was deserved).
2. Buddy Guy: "Damn Right I've Got The Blues".
3. Luther Allison: "Reckless", and "Luther's Blues".
4. Katie Webster: "Swamp Boogie Queen".
5. Joe Williams: "Nothing But The Blues" (Delos label).
6. Koko Taylor: almost anything is great, but "Force of Nature" is a great place to start.
7. Etta James: "Seven Year Itch".
