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?

A few years ago I picked up the (at the time)latest CD by Johnny Winter, 'I'm A Bluesman'. It was truly painful to listen to. I'll add that I was a major Winter fan back in the day, saw Johnny 5-6 times and Edgar 10-11!(Edgar's still a killa!). I've always felt that JW had one of the great R&R/Blues voices, instantly recognizable to me. In that last recording I've mentioned, his voice was GONE. So I'm glad to hear he's still making music-lovers happy!

Big +1 on Johnny A., seen him twice, own two of his records, great stuff!
