If I like Lightnin' Hopkins, I might like....

I am just discovering some new music that I have never listened to before. I think that because my old 770 Pro 80's didn't do blues or jazz well, I avoided it. Well, I have found that my Grados do these genres beautifully (to my ears at least) and I am now very much enjoying the new sounds, especially the blues. I recently discovered Lightnin' Hopkins so I was hoping for suggestions on other blues artists that I may also like. I know nothing about the genre having never listened to it before...thanks.

If you like Lightnin' Hopkins, when you hear Stevie Ray Vaughan you will know where he got some of his licks...exactly!

Texas blues, eh? You might also want to check out the Chicago electric sound, even though it's a different take on the blues.  Otis Rush is worth a listen or fifty.

Arm and Hammer, I had to get out of bed to apologize and correct my post- I think it's T-Bone Walker (have in storage) that influenced SRV.

I'll have to go dig that out and confirm...

haha...no problem...either way...SRV is good stuff. I'll also check out T-Bone but it is good to know the correct influence...I appreciate your getting out of bed for the correction.
