I rate '461 Ocean Blvd' and his first solo album above Cream. You all read that right; I like Slowhand when he dials back the fuzz tone. Super funky sound. His band from Oklahoma is super under-rated

It would have to be Robben Ford.
Michael Landau if you want a rock/blues guitarist.
-
This guy needs to be mentioned. His career was short but his best was as good as anybody's.

SRV for me just because he broke big as i was forming as a guitar player at 16 years old in 1983. I would pick up the occasional guitar player magazine and had clapton's blues breaker album and hendrix and they would mention these old blues cats and Stevie just seemed to plug right into that at that time when new wave was all the rage ...
aahh i long for the old days sittin' in my parents bedroom being blown away by his first two albums
good memories

Roy Buchannan's After Hours remains for me one of the best I've ever heard, and almost anything by BB King.

Rory Gallagher. Although not strictly blues.

As a lifelong student of the blues, I've heard them all. SRV does it for me more than anyone else.

The late Michael Burks, R.I.P, who passed away in his early fifties was one of many favorites of mine and probably my favorite contemporary Blues. His tone was so full and his vibrato weeped, as did the big man's voice. I caught him live a couple of times - great experience!

Just listened to Michael Burks above and it got me all over again.
The great Bluesmen, in my humble opinion, have a way of making you think their songs are real and are taken from their own life experiences and pain.

this guy is pretty good:

I have been listening to a ton of Muddy Waters lately. What a giant of music. His voice and his guitar phrasing--absolutely unique.
I realize there were other great blues players around at the time, and he himself learned from and copied from Son House and idolized Robert Johnson, but IMO if he hadn't been moved to Chicago and been recorded by the Chess brothers, we wouldn't be talking about 95% of the folks above. It would just be an obscure folk music. He more than anyone electrified the blues and made it mainstream.
Not to mention all the white guys that had big hits playing his songs. (Though many of them, including the Rolling Stones, Johnny Winters and Eric Clapton, returned the favor.)
BTW Eric Clapton's new album is out--a tribute to JJ Cale. I personally never got into Cale as a performer or guitarist much, though he was a pretty good songwriter. This album is one of EC's better "laid back" albums--nice, understated guitar work, syncopated in the Chet/Merle style but always bluesy. I'll take it over most of his 80's stuff anyday.

while he didn't do many bloozes....he spanks this one out...and some nice harmonies at 3:22
