I just recently started getting into Blues music, but very specific blues. I'm not really fond of recent stuff. I like the old, down-south Mississippi type blues. Does anyone have any suggestions. I downloaded some Robert Johnson, but am not sure what other types of blues music I should get. I'm into Elvis, Dean Martin, 50's music, any suggestions?

I dig the old blues too. You can also go to Yahoo Music Engine and do searches on any blues artists, it will then offer links to other similar artists and off you go!
