I've been on a serious blues/blues rock kick for a while now and just started putting together a playlist and would appreciate some suggestions. I have a lot of muddy waters, BB King, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughn and John Lee Hooker so far. I know there's probably a ton of new Orleans stuff alone I haven't heard yet.

I'm a big fan of the Mississippi Hill County Blues scene: RL Burnside, Junior Kimbrough, North Mississippi Alstar, Lightning Malcolm, Cedric Burnside

This is the beat that is constantly flowing through my head, so simple yet so dirty: Junior Kimbrough - All Night Long

Also a big fan of Muddy Waters and Albert King.

If your not aware of Anders Osborne (New Orleans adopted native), he is bluey funk.
