Good question!
Anything by John Lee Hooker. There's this soothing, calming one I love called, "Don't Look Back".
I'm also a bit of a Keb' Mo' fangirl -- I came to his music in my teens, after hearing him on a compilation of gospel music. He did a song called, "Follow Me Up". I've been hooked since.
Taj Mahal is another. His live recording of, "Blues with a Feeling" makes me grin everytime -- he's got quite a stage presence. He stops the music and his audience when they start clapping the usual 1 (2) 3 (4) beat, and instructs them to clap on the 2nd and 4th beats instead, even pausing at the end of lines to count out the beats to them to keep them in time. xD
Charlie Musselwhite and his harmonica. *g* "The Blues Overtook Me".
It does generally depend on my mood, though. Now and then, I slip on Ray Charles, or Stevie Wonder, or Aretha Franklin as well. Occasional Elmore James as well.

One song?? The Blues is so subjective (as there are so different Blues moods) that I have quite a few #1's.
