Your favorite blues album?

I would like to know what you think to be your favorite blues album. I have several compilations, some Big Joe Turner, and several Chicago local blues artists, but am looking for more. Please include why you like the album. I'm trying to expand my "Blues" horizons, and I know I have come to the right place. I look forward to your comments.

I don't know what it is about "Folk Singer" but it does not grab me. I am very keen on Philadelphia Jerry Ricks "Deeper In The Well" (I think that is the title). I sure enough like Junior Wells a lot. "Going Away" is good but I prefer the music on Lightnin' Hopkins eponymous disc on Smithsonian Folkways.

What does the term "nation sack" mean Blues Brothers? Just heard it on a Cassandra Wilson tune.

So sad to hear of John Lee Hooker's passing. Heard a fine duet with Bonnie Raitt during a tribute. Anybody know which disc could've been from?
Those of us in the Boston area are used to hearing Mae Cramer's "Blues After Hours" show on WGBH (89.7 FM) Friday and Saturday nights. So many great artists!
