My suggestion is to look at the first couple of Led Zeppelin albums, and see who originally wrote the songs (most of them are blues covers). Check out Memphis Minnie (don't know any albums, but the song "When the Levee Breaks" was covered), Bukka White, Leadbelly, and Roy Harper (he's more folkish, though). Led Zeppelin themselves do some hardcore blues (Hat's off to Roy Harper(sic) and Bring it On Home, Since I've Been Loving You, I Can't Quit You Baby, How Many More Times, In My Time of Dying, Tea for One, the list goes on forever).
