^ Yey! Someone other than me mentions Roy Buchanan!

RB and Ten Years After were among my first blues albums, but I think this was my very first: not particularly cool to start with a Greatest Hits album, but that's how it was for me, as I transitioned from pop/rock to other genres:-

I think my first real blues album was Hot Tuna in about 1972!! I already had all the Hendrix and Cream and Zeppelin by then, but I classed them more in the heavy metal (underground) in those days.

I dont rememeber the name, but it was the live BB King album of the show he did in a prison.

Ive also been listening to "Sweet Tea" by Buddy Guy lately which has very "psychedelic grunge" feel to it. Reminds me of Jimi Hendrix's Band of Gypsies a litttle bit. Highly recommended.
