There are some good artists and songs listed here but the one I consider that you should never miss is Gloomy Sunday by Billie Holiday. I gave you a link to the story at Snopes and then the words to the song at the second site - the first leaves out the ending. the music is great even without the words. I gave you a link also to Pandora where you can listen to part of the lyrics. You may be able to hear the whole song there but I am still learning how to use that so not sure. You can join Pandora though and set up a station for Blues and listen to music free there although I am not sure Gloomy Sunday is included. I have even listened to it when a little depressed although the other name for it is the Hungarian suicide song. lol

Really, I can't. We all approach it differently. I went backwards when I first heard the Yardbirds in 1965, with Clapton and Jeff Beck talking about the old masters. Then my brother got a live album of Sonny Boy Williamson backed by the Yardbirds. It just went from there, to most of the great Chess label artists in the 1950s to Sunnyland Slim to Charley Patton, Petey Wheatstraw.
I can't explain it. It just happened.
I had the advantage of growing up in New Orleans, where all forms of blues could be heard through screen doors as I walked the streets.

I would definitly go online to some websites and the source that I listed is a good place to start and that website will have some listed as well. If you are interested in seeing live shows see if there is a Blues society in your area to join and see if they put on any shoes themselves.
