Re: Which electric blues artists?

I like electric blues artists like Stevie Ray Vaughan, who else would
you recommend in a similar style? I especially enjoy good guitar
players, but I can do without harmonica or saxophone solos that seem
to go on for ever.

The simple trio of guitar, bass and drums is ideal and a touch of
Hammond organ is good also. But I like the blues mostly for the guitar
part, so the guitar player has to "deliver the goods."


Muddy Waters, Albert Collins, Hound Dog Taylor, Gatemouth Brown, Lightning Hopkins, Elmore James, John Lee Hooker, Buddy Guy, Bobby Blue Bland, Johnny Guitar Watson...for starters...

....and anybody named "King".
