    There have been a lot of good suggestions so far, but one that I dont think I saw and would definitely recommend is Taj Mahal. Great blues singer/guitarist who has had a very long and prolific career, which includes some of the greatest blues I've heard IMO as well as him returning to more traditional African roots. I'd either dl some random songs (A favorite of mine is "She Caught the Katy and Left Me A Mule to Ride") or go buy a compilation (Martin Scorsese Presents Taj Mahal is a very good one) to start off. I dont think you'll be disappointed.

    I love some of Taj Mahal's stuff..."Chevrolet" is one of the greatest tracks of all time.
