Need Blues Rec--burn the house down guitar stuff

Help Please!

I've Seen several blues artists live that were just amazing...topping that list is Buddy Guy back in the 80's. But, like others, his CDs never seemed to translate that raw club energy/presence I witnessed live. Blues has always been something I enjoy in person...but never really energizes me when I listen at home. I suspect It's out there and I am missing some great artists/performances. I would like some recommendations for:

Some blistering guitar driven/energetic/possibly live stuff--I don't want the slow stuff (I have that). (I guess when I think about it...it's more rock than blues I'm looking for)

Isn't that a great looking guitar on the cover of Johnny Winter's Progressive Blues Experiment. That is a National register steel guitar made from a cash register. Yup,in the depression so many business's went under that they made guitars out of the cash registers. The sound is unique and they are highly sought after because of the sound they make when you use it as a slide guitar.
If you dug this album then go straight to Second Winter.

Bongofury - I do not have any Luxman. You must be thinking of someone else.

Must be. I get a lot of emails from Goners and I sometimes don't connect their handle with their email address. It also could be brain damage from 3,000 shows and all the wrong substances.
