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?

Stevie Ray Vaughan, the best of the modern blues players, unfortunately and sadly gone. Hendrix, Blues album for a start. Eric Clapton, blues collection, Crossroads box, Layla and other love songs, or Journeyman. Allman Brothers, Live at the Fillmore or Eat a Peach or get the latest of their albums from the newer version of the band. Johnny Winter, And Live or his first or second album. King Biscuit Boy. Otis Rush. Rory Gallagher, Live in Europe or Irish Tour. Warren Haynes (member of new Allman Brothers, along with Derek Trucks/Tedeshi band). Richard Thompson (ok not really the blues but so great, try The Old Kit Bag or Shoot out the lights). Um, the Stones from the beginning through Some Girls.
