Johnny Winter, a Texas boy, is probably my all time favorite blues guitar player. He can do modern electric blues styles as well as the early delta blues styles and do them with authenticity and feeling. Another completely different blues guitar player is Chris Smither. His acoustic blues style is his own and I've never heard anyone like him. John Hammond, out of Jersey, plays some great blues, also. My favorite Buddy Guy album is "Blues Singer", check it out. I've got hundreds of blues albums and these performers are among my favorites. (sadly some are no longer with us)...

Good thread. I happen to have a very extensive lp collecfion of Blues music. You may recognise my Avatar. Northstar has a great list. I really second Caesars recommendation of Otis Rush Screamin and Cryin. Talk about raw emotion. Also add to the list Son House.Originally Posted by NorthStar
The best Bluesmen in the World are the Black people.
Good
Like Muddy Waters for example. ...And Robert Johnson.
...And some of them are from Africa.

Regarding jeff beck. I disagree with statemts. I saw first live at the Arms concert back in 82 or 83. Page and Clapton also played their sets . Beck blew the two combined away. The rawest guitar i ever saw. Will never ever forget.
Sorry you already had Son House. Check out Luther Johnson Come on Home. Jb Hutto, Otis Spann, Mississpippi Fred McDowel, and Skip James.The best Bluesmen in the World are the Black people.

Skip James- the early recordings, not the ones after he was 're-discovered' (although those are OK, his voice and playing were better when he was young). Haunting. The Bentonian school. Antedates Rbt. Johnson.
Bukka White- Shake 'Em on Down- classic- cousin or something to BB King, gave BB his first guitar if memory serves.
Sonny Boy Wmson II-
Willie Dixon (and almost all the guys on Chess/Arc Music) as the young rockers knew, if you were gonna steal, you might as well steal from the best!
Jeff Beck is an amazing guitarist. Probably one of the most versatile. Ever see that tape of him playing with Van Morrison and Tom Jones?
I like gospel influenced blues- Blind Willie Johnson, mentioned above, preacher, guitar man, writer: Nobody's Fault but Mine, and the eerie Dark was the Night (also a 'moan')- hugely influential, not just with the english electric blues revival, but some of the old 'delta' guys that are on the list as foundational.
