Suggestions for current blues guitarists

I have picked up two what I consider real good blues discs in the last few weeks. Joe Bonamassa and Beth Hart - Don't Explain, and Gary Clark Jr. - Bright Lights EP. The Bright Lights album is only 4 songs, but 4 real good ones, I can't wait to hear more from Gary Clark Jr. Anyways I was just trying to see if anybody here has any suggestions for similar type albums out now. Thanks.

For acoustic blues, try Rory Block. For something a little more mainstream, try Susan Tedeschi. For something w a little bit of a jazzy groove, try Duke Robillard.

Wow thanks for all the excellent suggestions folks. This gives me a lot of music to start checking out as the weather gets colder and I stay inside much more and listen to a lot more music.

Black blues player? Melvin Taylor from Chicago. Closest to Jimi Hendrix alive today. Plus, he plays a lot of soulful blues too. This guy plays the lights out. "Rendevous with the blues" is the latest i've heard of. "Dirty Pool" has a few Stevie ray covers that don't disappoint.
