What I would do is find the artists that you really like and find out who influenced them. That's how I started building my collection. Circuit City's website has a nice feature where you can look up an artist and then find related artists. Here's a sample link (I hope it works) Link

I would also encourage you to seek out live music whenever you can. In particular I would focus on small clubs and festivals as that is where you get the best bang for you buck. The best festival I've been to is the King Biscuit Blues Festival. It's the first Thursday-Saturday of October and the event is free. Essentially you can listen to 36 hours of blues very cheap, particularly if you like to camp.

One final thought...I would not start with the old,old stuff. To the unaccustomed ear it may be difficult to fully appreciate. I generally recommend that you start with someone contemporary and work your way back in time. The music may take on additinal meaning to you once you comprehend the influence that the old blues guys had on today's sound.

If you like Jimi Hendrix blues riffs, check out a guy named Roy Buchanan. He turned down a chance to join the Rolling Stones. Ron Wood was the second choice.

Buchanan kicks ass. Lonnie Mack would also be a good choice. I recently had the opportunity to see a young (19?) guitar slinger by the name of Wes Jeans. Very, very talented guy in the style of Hendrix/Vaughan/Albert King. If any of you get the chance to see him please do. My guess is he won't be in small clubs for long.

I have done that to some extent, between the booklet that came with the box set and researching on-line I have come to get an idea of who the masters are, and who their masters were. But i could always be missing something too, hence this thread.

Where does this festival take place?

Too late. I have actually found plenty of the really old stuff I like. But then again, I'm not your typical 20-something year old who thinks music from ten years ago is out of date and sucks. I have style.
