Great suggestions from Lisna.

Also, maybe start near the beginning with some Robert Johnson:

As for Clapton, he was at his pure blues best with John Mayall:

...and another suggestion: ZZ Top. They're very much Texas Blues, and a precursor to SRV.

As far as SRV, there were a lotta people who copped his vibe, but none more so than Kenny Wayne Sheppard:
