Recommend some Blues music to a newbie

Too bad Johnny almost has to be carried out onto the stage these days. First time I heard him live was in 1968. He played lots of Rolling stones and Chuck Berry music throughout the years and did it alot better than they did. Sure wish I could afford a nice Erlewine Lazer guitar like his.

Joe bonamassa, A.C. Reed, anything Hooker, SeaSick Steve, Luther Allison, Little Ed, and ....Hell listen to it ALL!!!

A few years ago I picked up the (at the time)latest CD by Johnny Winter, 'I'm A Bluesman'. It was truly painful to listen to. I'll add that I was a major Winter fan back in the day, saw Johnny 5-6 times and Edgar 10-11!(Edgar's still a killa!). I've always felt that JW had one of the great R&R/Blues voices, instantly recognizable to me. In that last recording I've mentioned, his voice was GONE. So I'm glad to hear he's still making music-lovers happy!

Big +1 on Johnny A., seen him twice, own two of his records, great stuff!

Has anyone mentioned T-Bone Walker?

Good call on T-Bone. When i first started listening to him as a teenager, i thought he was this old blues guy. Little did i know he was a huge entertainer back in the day, with band, show and dance moves.
His style is often imitated, but...
