I'll grant you Hooker has some unparalleled songs, yet I would ask you to listen to "The Bluest Blue" by Alvin Lee(of Ten Years After ). It's on a compilation disc through BMG Music Service. It may be available elsewhere, I don't know.

corrosionfactor; I'll stick with Janis though to be fair I haven't heard Rory. I will look for her. Thanks

We should be ashamed. Nowhere did we mention John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers which helped jumpstart many careers such as:Eric Clapton, Mick Taylor, John Mcvie,and Peter Green to name a few.

-All well known
John Hammond, in my opinion, is one of the most powerful, authentic, exciting performers playing the blues today. I've seen him perform more than fifty times.
Rod Piazza/The Mighty Flyers-fortunately they live in my area, so I've had the chance to see them perhaps a hundred times or more. Rod has an ENOURMOUS ego, but he may be the true heir to Little Walter. Miss Honey is an incredible pianist, and the band has had a succession of great guitarists-Junior Watson, Alex Schultz, Rick Holmstrom, etc.
Tom Ball & Kenny Sultan-based out of Santa Barbara, they are near enough for me to see regularly. Tom plays harp like no-one else. Think John Popper if he could actually play passages that made sense musically. He also plays guitar (mainly 14-17 centuries) as well as he plays harp. Kenny is a master of various fingerpicking styles. To see them at Cold Springs Tavern-an old stagecoach stop-on a Sunday afternoon, with several hundred bikers, a cold beer in one hand, and a tri-tip sandwich in the other, is pure bliss.
