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.

Right now my favorite is Keb Mo "Just Like You". Excellent sonics, an excellent songwriter, emotionally involving and a good mix of accoustic and electric. If you are into electric, Gary Moore is a good pick. I don't know that I have ever heard a smoother sounding electric guitar.
Bean, my personal favorite is Lightin' Hopkins' "Goin Away" which was recently released on vinyl by Analogue Productions. The sonics and soundstage are superb, and the experience is almost equal to seeing this classic blues artist 'live.' His lyrics are second to none in expressing a wide range of emotions. Highly Recommended.
