need some suggestions for Acoustics Blues

What are your favorite artists/recodings for acoustic Blues besides Muddy Waters MSFL "Folk Singer" and Buddy Guy "Alone and acoustics" (got them already)? Dont you just love the sound of acoustic guitar, harmonica, and vocal sound of the human soul/spirit? Any suggestion is appreciated...

How about breaking the gender barrier with Rory Block.

Hans Theesink, Roy Book Binder, Guy Davis, Ann Armstrong, &
Jorma Kaudonen are some of my favorites and of course you do have to get the Robert Johnson complete set. Just had Rory Block Live in Dallas.

Second, no third Rory Block. Surprised no one has mentioned the late GREAT John Lee Hooker (The Healer would be a great one to start with, but he's got a lot of recorded work to choose from). I like the Fat Possum artists too: R.L. Burnside and Junior Kimbrough are both great.

"Catfish" Keith has won numerous Grammy awards for his acoustic solo playing.

Try Jessie May Hemphill, a contemporary of Burnside and Kimborough. Once a singularly unique performer, sadly a victim of a stroke and now unable to perform. I hope she is still alive.
