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?

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.

Stephen Stills comes to my mind. I love George Thorogood and the Destroyers because they are a very engaging live act. My favorite blues are no name bands you come across randomly when out for a night on the town. Home grown local flavors...some dude with a guitar and a friend with a harp...
