Like what was played in Black Snake Moan. I listen to classic jazz singers like Billie Holiday and Etta James, so anything along any of those lines would be great. I do love Nina Simone. Norah Jones is not Bluesy enough. Soulful blues? Heres a few possibilies:
Sarah Vaughn, Nina Simone, Norah Jones, Betty Carter, Cassandra Wilson, Bessie Smith, Big Mama Thornton, Koko Taylor, Esther Phillips, Rickie Lee Jones, Phoebe Snow, Maria Muldaur
I never saw "Black Snake Moan" so I don't know exactly what you have in mind. Heres a website that may help:
