All of the above - and Lightnin' Hopkins, Etta James, Mississippi John Hurt, Bukka White, La Verne Baker, Albert King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, John Lee Hooker, Eric Clapton, and Slim Harpo.
Kudos to The Blues Brothers for reminding white people - it's way cool, man...!

I've been an addict since I heard slide guitar creeping up the stairs of a cellar bar when I was fifteen! Elmore James taught me the licks, I wore out that album! Been in bands since then, never made any real money but what good times I've had.

Can't get enough of Sonny Boy #2. He was a rascal. Did a better job on Bring It On Home than Led Zep. Great Willie Dixon song. One Way Out with Buddy Guy on lead. Better than the Allman Brothers. He was great.

Yes, yes, yes, and yes.
I've gotten "hooked" on everything from individual musicians, to styles (delta, piedmont, etc), to instruments (harp, piano, etc.) Its not confined to blues either. I just mentioned on the country forum that I listened almost exclusively to honky tonk (Hank Williams, Lefty Frizzell, et al) for close to a year.
For me its not a case of snapping out of it, its more like a many-layered onion. One thing always leads to another. I could live ten lifetimes and still be discovering and learning about American music.

No but I have had several people tell me that I did resemble a flop-eared coondog. Does that count? Apparently long ago genetically speaking people in my family began to pride themselves on floppy ears so they started to seek out and marry people with floppy ears. My present appearance is due to this selection process over the last 1000 years or so. The good thing is we could sky dive without parachutes so it worked out during times of war.

You'd better believe it! Howlin' Wolf is one of my favorites. I could listen to him all day. I love that gravely voice. I can hear him singing now -- "She's hot like red pepper; lips like cherry wine ....."
