Who are your favorite Blues musicians?

Who are your top five Blues musicians? All time? Current?

I love Johny Winter, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Muddy waters......Just came back from a ZZ Top concert in Vegas. Opening acts were Stray Cats & The Pretenders. I was simply amazed at how good Brian Setzer is. After seeing Billly Gibbons from ZZ Top....F**K me !!!! Billy Gibbons took Brian Setzer to school. Setzer couldn't hold a flame to Billy Gibbons. He just simply blew him off the stage. I'm 47 years old and have been to over 50 in concerts in my lifetime and Gibbons displayed some of the finest Blues Rock I have ever witnessed and this dude is over 50 years old !!!!

Johnny Winters

I like Stevie Ray Vaughn, Albert KIng, Albert Collins, and Buddy Guy

My favourite blues artists are Stevie Ray Vaughn,Etta James,Bondi Cigars(Australian),Jimi Hocking(Australian),Chris Wilson(harp player,brillant,also Australian)B.B.King,Buddy Guy,John Lee Hooker,Albert Collins,Muddy Waters,Charlie Musselwhite,Ruth Brown just to name a few.Have a good day.
