Recommend some Blues music to a newbie

Don't listen to Blues at all, but recently when auditioning some equipment I heard a few tracks that I enjoyed tremendously. Not sure of one artist but the other was Eric Bibb. Simple vocals and accoustic guitar. I really liked it a lot.

Where to start?
What would you recommend?

Try it NewOrleans style with Wynton Marsalis and Eric Clapton Play The Blues. Outstanding.

Many great recommendations...
I'd add Roy Buchanan.

Here's a link to Wikipedia about Danny Gatton

If someone says they like Eric Bibb how many degrees of separation does it take to get to Roy Buchanan or Danny Gatton?

i saw Roy Buchanan open for Lowell George and little feat.
I think it cost a buck, with a college ID.

Didn't realize MrMitch had already mentioned Roy Buchanan. So a 2nd vote for Roy. Another on the electric blues side of things is Robert Cray.
