little known blues greats

greetings everyone - this is a great thing to be able to collaborate with so many. i am wanting to increase my exposure to great, and i mean great blues guitarist. i live in texas, near dallas, so we have an extraordinary amount of talent right here. would you please share a few of your guitar heros with me, and perhaps a specific song that is indicative of their musical prowess. please don't include the international obvious players, rather the down home, local cats, who are still struggling to keep the blues alive in their own way. in wouldn't be fair if i didn't share a few of my favorites. debbie davies, lucky petersen, texas slim, bugs henderson, tu tu jones, buddy whittington.
thanks for sharing.

Craig Thatcher from Philadelphia, He has a couple of cd's out you may be able to find on the net.

I think Sue Foley and Joanna Connor are both based down your way.
