Blue for newbie

Hi,

I'm looking to buy a Blue cd for a relative in living in Vietnam. I've no experience in blue what so ever. Could anyone please give advise on a must have Blue Cd.

Only one requirement, must be well recorded CD.

Thanks

Great later recordings are "The Rainmaker" by John Lee Hooker and "I got What It Takes" by Koko Taylor.

Lots of artists and different styles would let any newbie decide what they really like. Steve

Muddy Watters, Robert Johnson, Jack Johnson, Keb Mo. If you want something a little crazy go with Buddy Guy the guy is old as the moon and crazy as a loon. But the question is what type of blues does the person like? Do they like delta blues or chi town blues? The blues brothers sound track could be a good start.
