So I'm looking for someone that wails (not sure how to spell that) on the guitar and has an authentic type voice...


Then youre looking for Davey Knowles.
Gary Clark is a great artist but isn't really the most accomplished guitarist.

Immerse yourself in T-Bone Walker--everything he's ever recorded. Everything.
Here's a favorite of mine, Glamor Girl:

John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers with either Peter Green or Clapton on guitar. Never heard Clapton play so angry.

John Lee Hooker - Hobo Blues

Rot got blues. He doesn't wail but gets you wanting to drink.

Also get SRV live at the El Macambo on DVD.

It is released on YouTube now.

That show is amazing. He must have had the PERFECT balance of vices running through his veins that night.

Every note is amazing.

The most used and abused blues song, by the original:

T-Bone Walker - Call It Stormy Monday

Plus:

Louis Jordan - Let The Good Times Roll

Howlin' Wolf. Songs like Smokestack Lightning are like the kick of a shot of whiskey. Make that two shots:
