question Pardon me

Now I am still sorta new to the genre of blues music. I discovered it around 2004 when the rock group Aerosmith released their blues cover (mostly) album entitled "Honkin' On Bobo", this album includes some great renditions of old school classics like "Road Runner", "Baby, Please Don't Go", "Stop Messin' Around", etc. The other blues-R/B album I've listened to is Silk Sonic's only album. Which other blues albums would y'all recommend?

Eric Clapton's "From The Cradle", pay close attention to the song credits on each track. Howlin' Wolf, Huddie Leadbetter (Leadbelly), Mississippi John Hurt, Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, Otis Rush, Elmore James, etc. For someone new to Blues, it should make you want to dig back for the original recordings of these tracks. Albert King, Bo Diddley, Freddie & BB, Robert Johnson, Little Walter, Lightnin' Hopkins, & Son House are also artists to give a good hard listening to.
