Ray Bailey "Satan's Horn", ca. 1995. If you can find it, buy it.

I agree with Tpreaves about Alligator Records, and highly recommend their Anniversary Collections with various artists. They’re available on Amazon - a lot of great classic Blues for very little money.

i second Muddy Waters "folk singer"

Try it NewOrleans style with Wynton Marsalis and Eric Clapton Play The Blues. Outstanding.
