Jazz/blues guitarist suggestions for SRV fan.

I am about to wear out my Stevie Ray Vaughan CDs. I have been looking for a similar sound for a while and keep coming up short. What I am looking for is the instrumental jazz/blues sound, like in Riviera Paradise which is one of my all time favorite songs. I've tried Joe Satriani, Eric Johnson, Eric Wallo, Clapton even Ry Cooder...all good but they don't keep me coming back. Keb Mo is not too bad, he just does not do the instrumentals like Stevie.

Any suggestions for mostly instrumental jazz/blues guitarist?

Im not sure if "Corby Yates" has been mentioned yet but
he sounds pretty good. I heard some of his stuff at Guitar center yesterday. Worth a listen... He's in his early twenties and sounds like he's well on his way.

It's been a while since I started this post and I have made several CD purchases based on suggestions posted. I must say of the ones purchased so far (Kenny Wayne Shepard, John Lee Hooker and Ronnie Earl) I am hooked on Ronnie Earl. I now have two Ronnie Earl CD's in heavy rotation, Language of the Soul and I Feel Like Going On.

Thanks to all. Can't wait to try some of the others mentioned here.
