Im really digging Jimmy Reed. Keb Mo, Pine Top Perkins and B.B King right now. Im eighteen and just starting to get into blues. But I really love them what other blues artist should I check out?

kdpjam

john mayall and the bluesbreakers
buddy guy
johnny winter
yardbirds

casper leblanc

the roots of blues: Robert Johnson, Son House. Also really good: Howlin' Wolf.

INDIFFERENCE MAKER

JOHN LEE HOOKER IS BY FAR THE BEST!!!

for a more laid back acoustic blues, check out Mississippi John Hurt, unbelievable.

Bo Diddley
Koko Taylor
Keb Mo
Johnny Lee Hooker

LedZepFan

this is more modern and a bit unclassifiable, but the Black Keys are two white guys who make some pretty damn good, hard edged, bluesy music.

As for real old school blues, I'm not that experienced in that realm....but I do agree with what everyone else has said but ill add that Eric Clapton(and Cream) has done some real good blues/ blues rock in his day. Sessions For Robert J, a tribute to Robert Johnson, is quite good.
