Hey Sup Forums I've been feelin a bit down lately, what's some essential blues? I've been listening to some Howling Wolf and Muddy Waters but I'd like to expand my horizon.
Blues general

Born Under a Bad Sign by Albert King is the essential Blues album.
I also recommend Hoodoo Man Blues
...
Awesome, I'll check it out.
What's a good Blues compilation?
Do you use Spotify OP?
If so, I got something sweet for ya.

This is all you need to start your quest for the blues.
Shit, I don't have spotify
Download it, the account is free. If you want to download shit on your mobile it costs money.
That's 10 euros a month, but I used it for years without premium.
Martin Scorsese Presents the Blues was a documentary series that came out slightly over a decade ago. The documentary series itself is kind of boring and I say that as someone who likes watching music documentaries. I suggest watching it only after you've already become really interested in the genre.
The soundtrack however, is a very comprehensive set of blues tracks from most eras and styles and serves as a good primer for blues in general. I recommend listening to that, seeing which artists you like the most and then going from there.
