Hey there! It was just a few months ago when I started listening and become addicted to blues and blues rock. Let me share my experience.
I got addicted to blues rock because of JOHN MAYER and THE JOHN MAYER TRIO. I suppose if someone is initially a pop-oriented or rock-oriented musician, I think John Mayer songs are good starting points because of the good mix of pop music elements and blues elements in the songs. Then, John Mayer Trio songs would be like the next step, because the blues elements become heavier and more evident, but the songs still sound somehow pop-like.
I recommend the following John Mayer songs:
Gravity, Daughters, Waiting for the World to Change, Neon, I Don't Need No Doctor, 83, No Such Thing, Slow Dancing in A Burning Room.
John Mayer Trio:
Try!, Vultures, Another Kind of Green, Out of my Mind and their cover of Jimi Hendrix's Bold as Love.
Oh, other than John Mayer and his Trio, I would also suggest ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd and of course, the one and only Jimi Hendrix
Good luck on our Blues journey!
