just got back from CD warehouse.
(a used cd store)
i was looking for some new blues cd's to listen to.
the selection was slim, they said they just couldnt keep blues disks
in very long.
i noticed two disks "blues guitar heaven" volumes 1 and 2.
they have everybody on them from, clapton to sleepy john estes to
jr. wells even. just finished listening to both straight through.
all the songs on them are heavy blues guitar filled.
if you can find them i suggest you pick them up.
what are some other blues guitar filled cd's do you guys listen to?

Muddy Waters- Folk Singer is at the top of the list. EVERY blues fan should own this CD. This IS the BLUES. Muddy, a young Buddy Guy and Big Willie stripped down to two acoustic guitars and a standup bass.

others:
Otis Rush- The Essential Otis Rush
Junior Wells- HooDoo Man Blues
Any cd by Skip James or Son House
Lonnie Johnson- Blue Guitars vols 1 and 2

If you want a great sampling, Try to find a 3 cd set called "The Blues, From the Vaults" zzIt holds some of the greatest recordings by the original artists, Dating from the 1920s to the 60s. I found this "Gem" at Walmart (of all places) for only $7.00

i;ll look for it. i do like digitally remastered recordings of older blues. i just dont like to listen to that old dry crisp sound that old recordings seem to have had.
