Oh, and I forgot - when it comes to the blues, I love all of the recommendations people have made thus far. I lovingly add Mr. **T-Bone Walker** , the original Electric Blues Guitar Player. His style is often referred to as “jump blues” - fully orchestrated with a horn section, etc. - Brian Setzer and Duke Robillard do his thing now. But he was the original, and Albert King and SRV are in a direct line from him in terms of Texas Blues.
