I prefer the upbeat and fast blues songs, but any kind will be fine.

As with most blues tunes, many artist have versions of the same songs. You might like ones version over the other. Kind of in the traditional music...well tradition. Enjoy!

I really like a song named Stop Breakin Down Blues preformed by Eric Clapton on the Me and Mr. Johnson CD. Also Traveling Riverside Blues by Led Zepplin. I believe both of these songs were written by Robert Johnson a long time ago. The suggestions made by others that have answered your ? have been real good. I especially like Blender Blues by Bonnie Raitt and I'm not sure if Love Me Like a Man was suggested or not, but it's real uptempo. Walter Trout is another artist that you should listen to, he is contemporary and has some GREAT music- too many to even list. Do try Kill the Monkey and Who's Listening In I think that's the correct name, some more great tunes would be anything off of the EC was Here album by Eric Clapton, Key to the Highway and also Drifting Blues. Stevie Ray Vaughn and Texas Flood, Look at Little Sister and Things That I used to Do just to start. It's a short list for sure, but these examples of the blues will give you a good start. I'm sure glad that blues has become more popular in the last little while. It;s made exploring new music easier and much more productive. When I started listening it was almost impossible to discover new music with out some one to guide you, and where I live I'm the only blues fan around. Enjoy!

Anything by Buddy Guy is good. He does some faster upbeat stuff and some slow stuff. Walter Trout is a guy to look out for if you want mostly that fast rock and roll blues type stuff. These are just a couple that I know. Go to a Border's store and you can always sample some of the music before you buy.

Check out Joe Bonnamassa - not sure of the spelling, but that is close. He is a phenomenal blues guitarist. I have a couple of CDs & one DVD entitled "Joe Bonnamassa Live at the Rockpalast", which is a blues bar in Germany. It is absolutely amazing!
