Rory Gallagher:

Just about the best damn blues player there was! Check him out...

[wisedyes]

T-Bone Walker, Duke Robillard, Ronnie Earl, Charlie Christian are all guys that will expose you to the jazzier side of blues.

For the gutbucket stuff, everyone already mentioned so far. I really like Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown a lot, Lightning Hopkins, Robert Lockwood Jr.
