These last few weeks I've been having a bit of success learning to play the guitar. But a few days ago I saw the movie "Black Snake Moan", and it totally inspired me to learn how to play blues. That's all I've been practicing on, making up my own blues songs. Unfortunately I don't really know any blues artists, other than bit of Jimi Hendrix's stuff and some B.B. King.
But I LOVE it! It's just the greatest stress reliever there is, and all I can do is make up my own stuff which is just fine. There's just... something about the blues, especially playing the blues, that takes a miserable feeling and turns it into something that's just damn satisfying. Makes me feel better every time. I've found my new addiction.

So that being said, can anybody recommend some good blues? Keeping in mind I'm very particular about it. I love the genre, but only every so often can an artist do it the way I like. B.B. King and Jimi Hendrix's guitar style are awsome, for instance. But I hate it when they throw in trumpets, harmonica's, and all that extra jazz. I just love hearing the guitar!

Any suggestions?
