I'm a little late on this, but Chicago blues great Otis Rush passed away on September 29th.
Here's one of my Rush favorites, "So Many Roads, So Many Trains".

I knew the name and that Led Zeppelin and others owed him a great debt, but I see now how Chicago Blues differs from older blues (like JL Hooker) and really set up the sound I was drawn to back then. Good to know your roots.
