…not really a theory thing but figured this was probably as good a section as any so here goes…
It’s really about repertoire. I’m after something to help increase my (mostly Chicago) blues, and blues-influenced repertoire. I know a reasonable amount of Muddy Waters, Jimmy Reed, Howlin’ Wolf, Little Walter, Fats Domino, etc numbers but really the same ones that everybody else knows. So any books or albums that I should be getting my grubbies on?
As always, thanks.
I play guitar because I enjoy it rather than because I’m any good at it

The wonderful Hound Dog Taylor who was a Chicago street musician who started his recording career relatively late in life.
everything buddy guy did with junior wells is great, especially hoodoo man blues and the acoustic album. All their live performances are a treat. DJ play my blues or Stone crazy are heavy out there.
don’t forget John lee hooker, although not exactly Chicago, his recordings there and subsequent albums are phenomenal: urban blues, hooker n heat stand out.
