I like Johnny Winters , SRV and the 3 Kings to mention a few.

The one I enjoy listening to the most is Rory Gallagher, think he's a great guitarist and song writer.

[br]I like some of the swamp blues guys aswell like Tony joe white, sounds like Mark Knopfler might have listened to some of his songs aswell 🙂.
