Ive really been wanting to get into some mellow-yellow drown your sorrows in strawberry Jello blues music lately. Only problem is that I'm unfamiliar with the genre and don't know any of the significant artists. Any suggestions?

My favourites are Stevie Ray Vaughan (can't recommend him enough!) John Lee Hooker, Robert Johnson and Jeff Healy (only his first two albums though). It's worth listening to some 90's Great White and very early Whitesnake too.  Smile

My favourite blues-rock artist has to be David Wilcox. Don't know how well known he is in the states, but he's had a huge following in Canada going back to the early 70s. He's got about the smoothest voice I know, and plays a wicked guitar. Just be careful to get the right David Wilcox. There's an American folksinger by the same name.

Oh, and he puts on one heck of a good stage show.

 BounceGiggle  The Gary Busey line at the bottom of your post makes it hilarious.

I like the delta/country blues (acoustic and old-timey), but I wouldn't recommend it for most folks to start off with.  Try Chicago style: Stevie Ray, B.B. King, Bobby Bland... Howlin' Wolf is great, and he still sounds fairly modern.  The Black Keys are a grungy modern garage band with deep blues roots that may be good for beginners.  Taj Mahal is also a nice place to start.  Most people dig John Lee Hooker too.

If your willing to try the classic acoustic blues look for Robert Johnson, Lightnin' Hopkins, Leadbelly, Big Bill Broonzy....

Oh, and Led Zep I, while not strictly a blues album, is the album that made me able to appreciate the blues.

So far Im really diggin' Howlin' wolf and Jay hawkins is hit or miss. As for Stevie Ray, my uncle got me a greatest hits 2 disc thingy a few years ago i never listened to. Maybe I should break that out. Mostly what im lookin' for is that classic 50s and 60s black man blues type a' stuff. Know what I mean?

He's been mentioned before, but John Lee Hooker is da s**t. He lived in Detroit, but he had more of an old school delta blues vibe, and he was the sole inventor of the "boogie" style.  His guitar playing is so unique, and he's amazing at improvising his lyrics and playing. A good place to start is the 20th Century Masters compilation - it's an awesome example of his 50s/60s (arguably his best) era.

Also, RL Burnside is pretty cool if you're looking for some old school delta blooz.

JOHN LEE HOOKER is it.  More lost, and not so well known, or recovered from having been lost, was rediscovered, then lost, SKIP JAMES:
