Luther Allison is right up there as my favorite all-time, as well as Hound Dog Taylor (at least as far as 70s Chicago blues). Each had their own style though, so my preference depends on what I'm in the mood to listen to. But for west side soul-blues, give me Magic Sam all day long. That LP above is one of those must-haves for any blues collection, widely considered one of the best blues records ever made. And you can find it relatively cheap too. Magic Sam had his own style.
