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?

John Lee Hooker's It Serve You right to Suffer remastered by Acoustic Sounds has me listening to classic blues again. Nice and rare to have amazing performances matched by great production/mastering on vinyl.
