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.

So sad to hear of John Lee Hooker's passing. Heard a fine duet with Bonnie Raitt during a tribute. Anybody know which disc could've been from?
Those of us in the Boston area are used to hearing Mae Cramer's "Blues After Hours" show on WGBH (89.7 FM) Friday and Saturday nights. So many great artists!

Lots of good stuff here so far. Keep'm coming. I have just started to listen to the blues masters collections. The harmonica classics, Vol 16 is outstanding.

The duet you are seeking is off of John Lees "the Healer" cd. The song you ssk is "in the mood"( I think)

Indeed the duet is "In the Mood" by John Lee Hooker with Bonnie Raitt. Although it's kind of pop (not old fashioned hardcore) it's probably my fave blues disc. It has many different artist on their with JLH such as Santana, Bonnie Raitt, George Thorogood and Robert Cray, all great guitar players in their own right might I add. Another disc similar to it is the B.B. King, Deuces Wild. It is very sad that John Lee passed away but he did leave us many presents to remember him by.
