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:

And for more contemporary blues, there's Joe:

That mother****er can play.

Empty Bed Blues, Bessie Smith

Have no idea where my copies ended up but I had it on vinyl and cassette. Never could find a cd version with that original re-release tracklist (it's essentially a compilation of singles). So I'm hunting down a new copy of the original vinyl/cassette releases.

Default First Blues album

I didn't know it at the time but Led Zeppelin 1. Turns out to be a great blues album. The first known blues album I bought was Live at the Filmore East by Ten Years After.
