I need some blues tracks. I loves me the stuff. I got some Muddy Waters and I want some more dirty scratchy rough blues with plenty of slide and goes down like a shot of moonshine. Some of the more 'rock' like blues are ok too

Robert Johnson. King of the Delta Blues. this is the man who, rumor has it, sold his soul to the devil for the blues.
Taj Mahal, it's a little more up beat.
I'm amazed that no one has mentioned BB King, Buddy Guy, or Stevie Ray Vaughn. Come to think of it, there was a Hendrix blues album released a few years ago.
Also, if you might want to track down some Catfish Keith. He does some fantastic finger-style delta blues.
Edit: I almost forgot, the first two Susan Tedeschi albums are awesome. The last couple of albums are fine, but not nearly as good IMO.
And if you're looking for slide stuff, Bonnie Raitt is good. Honest. If you only know her from "Something to Talk About", check out her older stuff. Ry Cooder is another excellent slide player.
