How about Howlin' Wolf?
I was going through his "chess box" today (3 discs)... undoubtedly this stuff is most suited for "slow blues dancing," (and if you like slow blues, there's no better way to turn up the heat than to put on some of the tracks from this set) (and if you don't, i know you're out there, please let's not make this a tempo debate)
but some of the tracks are midtempo with a boogie woogie type beat... how do you like this stuff for lindy? too much electric guitar? me, I love it, although it must be in moderation. it's a very very different sound

Not sure if this is what you really wanted. In addition to some of the other recomendations (Buddy Guy, John Lee Hooker).
"Hillbillies from Outer Space" - Vaughn Brothers, Family Style
Several CDs from Clarence Gatemouth Brown, "Gates Swings" is particularly popular with several DJs.
"Playin' With My Friends" - B.B King/Robert Cray - Blues Summit (a B.B. King CD). B.B also has several other albums with danceable tunes (his Louis Jordan tribute CD for example).
James Brown's Messing With The Blues CD.
"Spoonful" - Etta Jones (several good versions out there)
"Roadblock" - Johnny Adams from One Foot in the Blues
"Rack em' Up" - Jonny Lang, his first album, "Lie to Me" I think it is called
Certain Stevie Ray Vaughn songs, such as "Cold Shot", "House is a Rockin" and "Pride and Joy."
That awesome J. Curve Cincinnati Jazz Collection Vol 3: The Blues compilation that Sharon Ashe turned me onto.
I could go on, we dance to live blues every week in Austin. But, I would not recomend some of it to DJ by.
Other blues artists to check out, Candye Kane, Susan Tedeschi, certain Solomon Burke CDs, Joe Louis Walker
