Your favorite blues album?

I would like to know what you think to be your favorite blues album. I have several compilations, some Big Joe Turner, and several Chicago local blues artists, but am looking for more. Please include why you like the album. I'm trying to expand my "Blues" horizons, and I know I have come to the right place. I look forward to your comments.

Great post! This is by no means a definitive list, but here's some of my favs:

Albert King -- Live Wire/Blues Power
Otis Rush -- Cold Day In Hell
B.B. King -- Live at the Regal
Buddy Guy/Jr. Wells/Jr. Mance -- Buddy & the Jrs.
Muddy Waters -- The Chess Box Set
Howlin' Wolf -- The Best of (Chess)

also check out a recent tribute to the Rolling Stones on House of Blues records call "Paint It Blue". Blues oriented renditions of classic Stones tunes. It includes Taj Mahal ("Honky Tonk Women"), Jr. Wells ("Satisfaction"), Holmes Bros. ("Beast of Burdern").
