Your Top Five Blues LPs, SQ-wise...


Wondering what the general consensus would be here.  What five Blues LPs would you pick to showcase your sound system’s strengths to another Blues lover?  Not so much interested in “historically important” discs here as much as Blues on vinyl that just sounds fantastic enough to prompt one to wear out an expensive cartridge/stylus on...
Thanks in advance.  Just getting into the genre myself via the various streaming radio feeds and never seem to catch the names of artists/titles so I don’t have a list of my own, but I’m drawn to great Blues guitar sounds and unforgettable lyrics which let the listener know, unmistakably, that the singer has, “walked the walk”...

Would that be vinyl pressings? The cd (streaming) transfer of Bring the Family is not very listenable IMO. However the last "blues" album by Hiatt "The Eclipse Recordings" is a gem. Both songs and SQ. He belongs to the (few) artists that still can make a full album. 
Great, will look for them. Maybe not true blues but rediscovered Rod Stewart first three on vinyl (digitalised) yesterday. Sensational dynamic sound compared to streaming versions. Highly recommended.
Guy Davies. Unfortunately not very well represented on Tidal at the moment. Have to buy "Sweetheart like you".

Joanne Shaw Taylor. There you have some electric guitar on fire.
Walter Trout - Me, My Guitar and the Blues
Gary Moore - Still got the blues
Alvin Lee (Ten Years After) - The Bluest Blues 

More guitars and feeling :-)
Thanks for the rec on early Taj. Great albums. Really fine "true" sound. Also from streaming.
@slaw thnx for tip on TYA. Unfortunately not their greatest fan. They make a great playlist though. But what is "S/T". See it often in vinyl threads.

Isn't Lyle Lovett "Music from the movies" rather blue?
