Point me in the right direction
 

I posted in the general music forum, but this seems like a logical place as well. I really like soulful blues type music. I like Chris Thomas King's version of "Hard time killing floor blues"... I like Ben Harper's "walk away" and "Ground on down"....

The problem is that when I listen to old stuff, like Muddy Waters, etc, the quality drives me nuts (old vinyl) and I don't dig the excessive piano. I like a guy and his guitar... I also don't like the peppy, happy funky jazzy blues...

Vague enough?

Ideas?
