Some blues suggestions

Recently I've noticed I have been listening to all of the Keb Mo range and utterly enjoying music, but am finding myself knowing his music back the front. I've had suggestions of Eric Bibb, to which I quite enjoy as well. I'm in Australia, so blues exposure like these two singers isn't abundant, so if anyone knows of other artists that are along the same lines could you please make some suggestions.

I second Doug Macleod but then, I'm prejudice since he is my neighbor. Since you like Keb Mo you also may like Mississippi John Hurt. He has that same laid back style, you can really hear his influence on Taj Mahall.

Muddy Waters - Folk Singer. Great acoustic blues, includes Buddy Guy and Willie Dixon. Excellenct recording as well.

Guy Davis should be right up your alley. Also, Chris Smither, though he's not quite as bluesy.

I heartily agree with the suggestions for Doug Macleod. His recordings on AudioQuest have great fidelity.

If you're into searching the roots of this music, definitely check out Robert Johnson.
