Favorite...pffft. Incomprehensible. Too many great artists to even think about picking just one.

Haven't seen this guy mentioned yet though. Thought I would throw something of his in the mix.

Lightnin' Hopkins - Bring Me My Shotgun

It's interesting what some refer to as blues. Can songs by Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Jonny Lang be far behind.

For the win, the most used and abused blues song, performed by the original artist:

T-Bone Walker - They Call It Stormy Monday

Gregg Wright's "Go On Wit Ya Bad Self" is pretty good too.

some good stuff on here

as a blues guy dunno if I can hone but to a few examples among the favoriteS...

pick anything by Lightnin Hopkins and ya have a 75% chance of it being essential blues

One of the SRVs has to make any list, Texas Flood, Tin Pan Alley, etc

Something Albert King is a must, BUABS mentioned, add Everybody wants To Go To Heaven

Albert Collins 'Dirty Dishes'... Tab Benoit does an incredible rendition, holler it out at his show and he'll always play it

1959 T Bone Walker, T Bone Blues LP is one my Top 5 albums of alltime, pick anything off it

Mannish Boy, Muddy Waters

Backdoor Man, Spoonful, Howlin Wolf

...I can't stop with these

It's obvious who actually listens to the blues and who doesn't. SRV, Howlin Wolf, Buddy Guy, Albert Collins, and Muddy are my favorites. Let's not forget BB or Freddie King. Hendrix probably could have been the all time best blues guitarist had he recorded more; that guy was incredible. But the one song that is my favorite is Clapton's 'Ain't Gone N' Give Up On Love' from the SRV tribute concert. That is from another planet.
