What's a good guitar-centric blues album?

Yeah, Buddy Guy would probably be good, I agree. Also maybe B.B. King, Freddie King (some live stuff from the '70's has Eric Clapton playing with him, actually), Lightnin Hopkins... Some Bonnie Raitt, especially early stuff by her, could be something you'd like too; some of her stuff is more countryish, but she plays some great blues guitar too -- you just have to pick the right tracks...\n\nThe Paul Butterfield Blues Band and John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers are both very good, and very Claptonesque (actually, Clapton played with the Bluesbreakers too, as far as I remember).\n\nAnd if you're open to Delta blues too, rather than just electric stuff, Robert Johnson will change your life.

I found some of his albums. I think you can hear portions. Hope this helps. :)

There IS a classic blues song called "Big Legged Woman". It's almost considered a blues "standard" and has been covered by many blues artists. I know a guitar player named Chris Duarte did it on his record "Texas Sugar Strat Magik". Stevie Ray Vaughan also has played this song live.

i'd reccommend joe pass, ella fitzgerald, art blakey, monk, stan getz...\n\non the newest jazz, try "tourist" by st. germain and any album of "Pink Martini" (though this last one is not jazz but salsa with jazz touches)

I realize you are talking about Layne staley's side project, and River of deceit rules. Never heard the whole album. I am listening to Feist and Breaking Benjamin.

Any guitar with the right electronics and pickups. For the best out-of-the-box sound I love my SRV-edition Fender Stratocaster. My well-worn 73 Telecaster with Texas Special pickups is a close second.

I've listened to some world music out of curiosity and I've really liked some things, especially from African countries or those with Moorish influences. I like the Putumayo albums, I think they offer good selections for people who don't know much about it but are interested in the real thing. Peter Gabriel has also done a good job bringing good composers and interpreters from around the world to attention.

Cafe del Mar group member Paul Schwartz' solo work, especially Earthbound, would make for a good start.  I would also recommend Patrick O'Hearn, albums like Eldorado and Indigo.

Simply Red seems to work. Or 'the Beautiful South' when they're not being cynical. Barry White is to cheesy to work these days. My rule is: can you hear the words? If you can (and its about love), its probably good. I like 'On and On' by Kevin Max.

Eric Clapton, 'Blues Power.'\n\nGuns 'N Roses, 'Paradise City.'\n\nThe list is endless.  What do YOU like?  Use that and some imagination.

Basically, I like any song that I can play on my guitar with a few chords...simple songs like older green day and ramones.
