Here's one from 1928, Lucille Bogan, one of the few of her tracks that can be posted on a family site, Amazon rate her record "explicit" not surprising considering her main source of income.
The incomparable Sam Myers on harmonica. Notice he's playing a low "G" harp, and the guitar is tuned to D, and playing what is normally the "E" position, like Jimmy Reed.
Sam Myers on a classic early recording. This guy is definitely the real deal.
I just made a little playlist with 3 blues albums: Billy F Gibbons & Robben Ford's newest and Tedeschi Trucks Band-Let Me Get By. Just have to hear all of Kurzwellen by Stockhausen
Quite all right Frank. That is one of my all time favorite Johnny Winter performances. I am sure I have posted that before, maybe on the current listening thread. Thanks for re-posting it!
Anson Funderburgh, endorsed by the Dallas Blues Society. Notice how melodic his playing is, not overly-reliant on string bending, but more like a jazz player who thinks in terms of melodic lines.

I'm a big fan of Anson Funderburgh. But I must say, possibly to your dismay, that I am not a fan of Sam Lay. Millionrainbows, you commented that Anson is melodic and doesn't rely on string bending. I agree. I always thought that he had a machine-gun type of playing (at times). He hits fast, crisp, clear notes that are aimed directly at you. I do like his playing style.
Here is Anson playing along with Delbert McClinton. It's a little different from his own CDs but he has great leads and really tasty fills.
