Not a blues band but also download Lynard skynards "Ballad of Curtis Lowe". My favorite blues influenced song.

Robby just about sumed up the great ones. But he left out one of the originals. Muddy Waters got popular by playing songs by Willie Dixson (one of the original greats). They hit the map playing Dixsons "Hoochie Coochie Man". He did get Jimmy Reed though, My favorite as he idealized and set the style of blues for Louisiana. I think I like Jimmy Reed becuase he uses a lot of echo in his guitar and is a little more up beat with heavier tones. Great Listening though when it's time to kick back.

I don't know about Jimmy Reed, but Jerry Reed keeps me going on road trips with "East Bound" (from Smokey and the Bandit)
