Recommend some Blues music to a newbie

Don't listen to Blues at all, but recently when auditioning some equipment I heard a few tracks that I enjoyed tremendously. Not sure of one artist but the other was Eric Bibb. Simple vocals and accoustic guitar. I really liked it a lot.

Where to start?
What would you recommend?

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.

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

Many great recommendations...
I'd add Roy Buchanan.

Here's a link to Wikipedia about Danny Gatton

If someone says they like Eric Bibb how many degrees of separation does it take to get to Roy Buchanan or Danny Gatton?
