Nearly anyone, I learned to start with the early stuff, when they made their reputations, and a bit after the best.
i.e. BB King fell into a kind of caricature of himself: not playing much, not the whole song, a few short display intervals and let the band do most of the rest.
Early stuff, he rips it up thru and thru.
You didn't mention Buddy Guy, stream some Buddy, you will want some Buddy.
