Oh, I cant help but mention the other two who are never mentioned, Irma Thomas and Tracy Nelson. Try Irma's True Believer cd and browse the Tracy Nelson selections on Amazon.

Great thread. Check out Eddie Campbell's King Of the Jungle. One of the best blues guitar tones out there. I like JL Hooker's 'Chill Out' quite a bit too. I think it's his best album. The great musicians he has joining him are outstanding as well: Booker, Santana, Van Morrison.

Try Lightin' Hopkins' "Goin Away." If you like vinyl, Analog Productions has released a phenomenal version of this recording on 180 gm. You can pick up at www.amusicdirect.com. Cheers for the Blues!

Sounds to me like you enjoy singer-songwriters. Try Joe Henry "Shuffletown," Chris Smither "Live as I'll Ever Be," Kelly Joe Phelps "Lead Me On" or "Shine Eyed Mister Zen," John Hiatt "Crossing Muddy Water" (bluesy, but not up to the level of his greatest earlier work). This one may be a stretch, but Ron Sexsmith "Other Songs" is kinda nice in the folk-rock category. Ditto for Martin Sexton "Wonder Bar."
