Check out http://www.musicmaker.org . They are doing a great job of trying to preserve music from some of the 'old time' blues singers. I have several of the CD's they have produced and the sound quality is excellent. If you like blues you can't go wrong...plus they are a worthy cause.

Echo Etta James, Love's Been Rough on Me is a great album. Also all of Terry Evans's albums, and Sam McClain. Anything old by BB King of course. But here's one that's old and no one over mentions, and its one of my all time favorites, Sam Cooke's Night Beat. Not pop/soul. Best late night album I've heard.

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.
