I am looking for some really laid back blues with guitar only and sax only or the combination of the two . I really hate to have to start buying a bunch of music to find what I want, so, how bout it, what's good? :smoke:

Good blues with guitar only? Never heard of such a thing.
Seriously, you're asking a pretty open ended question. Robert Johnson, Mance Lipscomb, Son House, Ledbelly...the list goes back at least 70 years.
Blues with a sax only is a smaller field. How about some bluesy guitar/sax/bass rock'n'roll? I'm speaking, of course, about Morphine. My iTunes is tied up right now ripping songs or I'd look up some more stuff. I'll get back later with other recommendations.
Wouldn't consider them blues, but The Nuclear Whales Saxophone Orchestra is interesting. http://www.nuclearwhales.com/

That wasn't quite what I meant, I don't mind other instruments, but I want alot of guitar, more so than the other instruments. Same with sax music, I will sample some of the music you suggested thou. Thanks for the leads!
