Blues, Funk and Soul - the holy trinity

[scotthilk]

I am on a heavy blues kick at the moment. Just listed to Bad News is Coming by Luther Allison for the first time. Damn that rips....
Now to find it on wax...

Also, anyone have any recs for artists that are the usual big names? I am trying to dig a little deeper.

Oh man, I went on an insane blues kick a few years ago.

Here are some artists, in no particular order. I'm sure you've listened to many, but perhaps some are new!

Stevie Ray Vaughan
B.B. King
Buddy Guy
Muddy Waters
Taj Mahal
Kenny Wayne Shepard
Joe Bonamassa
Junior Wells
Kingfish
Eric Gales
Albert Collins
Josh Smith
John Lee Hooker
Josh Smith
Freddie King
Roy Buchanan
Johnny Winter
T-Bone Walker
Little Milton
Gary Clark Jr.
Samantha Fish


Start there!

For starters, here are 4 records by big name blues artists that I consider essential to every collection...
