blues recs for newfags?

Start with howling wolf and muddy waters compilations. The chess boxes are pretty good

Listen to the album version of Woke Up This Morning then look up everyone he names in the intro.

It's always fun when you're listening to internet radio and a song you think you've never heard comes on, then you think "Hey... wait a fucking minute."

First of all, ignore this faggot: >>127519340 Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters are great, but I hate how they've become every musically illiterate faggot's first blues musicians.

Here are some better recs:
>Papa Lightfoot
>James Cotton (especially anything from the late 60s through mid 70s)
>John Lee Hooker (I'd particularly recommend the albums ...And Seven Nights, It Serve You Right to Suffer, The Real Folk Blues, and the compilation The Ultimate Collection 1948–1990)
>Slim Harpo
>Little Walter
>Leadbelly
>Magic Sam (the album Genius: The Final Sessions is a must hear)
>Freddie King (his streak of albums from 1971-1974 is among the greatest hot streaks in music history)
>Blind Willie Johnson
>Robert Johnson

A lot of the older blues guys albums are compilations of singles as albums were not done as often until later on.

The blues is just Gregorian chants sung by field hands
