What blues are you listening to today?

Blues is by far my favorite and most listened to genre. I don't know how many of us are in here, but I thought a continuing thread of this kind might be of interest. 

I'm listening to Buddy Guy's Sweet Tea. Buddy's covers of Junior Kimbrough,      T-Model Ford, CeDell Davis and the like are awesome. Jimbo Mathus sitting in on rhythm guitar doesn't hurt! 

So what blues are on your system today?

Hard to deny B.B. King as a great blues artist, listen to him often when in a blues mood.  Also enjoy 'light' blues by Bonnie Raitt.  Got to see her last year at a small venue, what a great show, and she had some great backup blues artists in her band.  I'd also put Janis Joplin in that category.  One of my fav's , Stevie Ray Vaughn.

You won’t catch me trying to deny B.B.King.

I just got " Blues By Lonnie Johnson." He was foundational to the blues, and even played a fair share of jazz- with Duke Ellington, no less. He has this wonderful single-note style of playing that I think is great.
