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?

Mississippi John Hurt or Sonny Terry/Brownie McGhee would be a great listen for one who enjoyed Eric Bibb.By all means get some samplers Vanguard Records have good notes which should help you.The problem with asking for recommendations here is that people just tout their favorites and don't consider where you entered this journey (Eric Bibb).Go to the public library and see if they have any blues comps on CD.Or buy used.
