Hey Guys new to forum here so this is my first post. Wondering if some of you guys can help me. I'm listening to a lot of blues (John Mayer, SRV, Jimi Hendrix) ect.. But I wanted to get into some BB King, Albert King, Jeff Beck, and Eric Clapton but I don't know what albums/songs to buy from them? An I know all of them are great but if you can name at least one album by them that can help me get into there music I would appreciate.
I'm trying to get the blues feel and hopefully improve my blues playing.

For Jeff beck: buy the DVD live at Ronnie Scott's. You need to watch him play. No kidding. You won't regret it!

Welcome and I love blues too. My advice? Get neck deep in some old country. All the sudden your blues opens up in a whole new way!

I agree with the guy who mentioned old country.
Eric Clapton--buy the album "Slowhand." One of his bigger albums, and for good reason, it has some very good blues guitar on it.
If I may be so bold, I would also suggest checking out Robert Johnson (arguably the father of the delta blues) and Buddy Guy.

B. B. King Live at the Regal and Live at Cook County Jail are great places to start.
