Agreed. IMO pretty much most things on Chess is worth getting - they have a kicking house band with top notch sideman. Damn, I think every blues fan ought to have some Sonny Boy Williamson II (aka Rice Miller) - my preferred blues harp player.
Alligator for the most part is also very reliable with a house sound that is more modern blues rock sound. Rounder I feel somewhere in between - not as commercial sounding as Alligator and signs a slightly more diverse blend of musicians. Rounder also has an anniversary sampler that is a nice introduction to their library.
Looking at the musicians listed in the first post, thought you might also give T-Bone Walker a try if you have not already.
