I'd like to hear some more blues... only thing I've heard so far is Eddie Primer - The Real Deal, which was pretty good. Any suggestions?

Right on!

Theres a lot of different syles of blues, but regardless of what style you like the most, heres a few artists that will be sure to please:

Robery Cray
Dr. John
Buddy Guy!
Some Eric Clapton
BB King of course...
Stevie Ray Vaughan!!

Especially by SRV check out "The Sky Is Crying" album and also "In the Beginning" for some really amazing early live guitar work. SRV is more upbeat blues, like blues-rock, maybe not exactly what you're looking for buy you CAN NOT deny that this guy had some SERIOUS guitar skills!!!

Playing his cover of Litte Wing off "Sky is Crying" on hd580s or similar and a good amp =
