Thread Name: Just Getting Into Blues - Need Help
Subject: Just Getting Into Blues - Need Help
So I saw Robert Johnson's "King of the Delta Blues" for a good price at a used music store around town. Picked it up, listened to it, really started digging it. I went online and found Memphis Slim who I also liked and currently have a CD of him on its way to my house via Amazon.

I just need help from folks to find good artists. Knowing I like Johnson and Slim, what artists would you recommend? Also, where is a good place to go online to listen to blues music...whether it be new, old, signed, or independent. I'd like to hear some newer blues if possible.

Thanks for the help!
