If youare going to check that stuff out, listen to the originals by Hendrix first. SRV was a more polished a player then Jimi was but Jimi had more fire then SRV (if that's actually possible) IMO.
Listen to
Hendrix, he was a blues player through and through. Redhouse for example on Are you Experienced is a straight up blues. From there all his music was Blues based just done loudly.
Go listen to the 3 Blues "Kings"
BB King, Albert King and Freddie King
Eric Claptin's From the Craddle Album is like 14 tracks of blues and is a great record.
Obviously
Stevie Ray Vaughn is one to listen to. He's basically an encyclopedia of the blues in terms of influenced by every major blues guitarist that came before him and meshed all their styles together.
Listen to some Jazz blues as well. Listen to guitarists like
Wes Montgomery, Pianists like
Oscar Peterson and Saxophonests like John
Coltrane,
Miles Davis on Trumpet.
Robert Johnson as mentioned before, gotta listen to him.
Johnny Winter for some crazy slide blues playing
