What are great sounding guitar, and chill sounding blues songs?

I recently started guitar not long ago ( a couple months.) I aint crap, but I aint Jimi Hendrix either. I am looking for a blues song that sounds awesome, is chill, and is not to difficult. The sound I am pretty much into for blues is Mad Season’s "Wake Up" and "Long Gone Day" but they are mostly bass.. So anyone have any suggestions?

Go to the youtube and search out John Lee Hooker songs – try these two:
Serves Me Right To Suffer
I’m Bad Like Jesse James
Also ANY Lightnin Hopkins, and I really dig T-Bone Walker from the Imperial recordings – SMOOTH as hell with a big band behind him.
If you like early stuff, check out any Lonnie Johnson from the 1920’s – he’ll really knock your socks off.
And, I don’t know whether its the vocals, or the guitar playing, or that sweet spot that is the combination of the two, but Josh White can just REALLY lay down a rich melody with both.
