I like the interplay between the guitar and piano. The problem with trying to recommend blues songs though is that you can never remember their titles, it's always "that one about how times are tough and/or his woman left him".

Even though I feel like the genre is very samey, still listening to blues while drinking whiskey and grilling steak activates something in a person.

Here's some OG shit just for interest sake. It's more rudimentary, but black delta blues musicians from the early-mid 1900s were the basis for a lot of what we know of guitar music today so I have to respect them:
 
Well, I could go with Dark was the night, cold was the ground, but it would be too obvious.
 
One bourbon
One scotch
And one beer

Mister bartender, come here
I wanna nother drank and I
Want it now
My baby she left me
I don't know how

One bourbon
One scotch
And one beer

(John Lee Hooker)
