Music: I think I\'m a Blues fan, but need some direction....
...O.K., I need some advice on good blues albums/artists. To give you an idea of what I'm looking for, I'm a big Led Zeppelin fan. The really bluesy stuff they do I really enjoy. Where is my next step into blues?

Go with the Hendrix Blues CD, it's going to be closest to that I would guess.
Otherwise go with the obvious John Lee Hooker, BB King, Stevie Ray Vaughan and so on.

I'm already a big fan of Hendrix and SRV. John Lee Hooker I'm sure I'm familar with, but can't pinpoit any songs or albums of his. Any JL Hooker albums that are standouts and must haves?

It depends on what kind of blues you're looking for. I'm a huge fan of real old delta blues stuff like blind lemon jefferson, robert johnson, guys like that.

I can't think of any Blind Lemon off the top of my head, but Robert Johnson only recorded about 35 tracks and you I was able to find a full collection for like $25 at Tower.
