As a fellow lover of slide guitar I have a few Ry Cooder offerings, and I'll give some of the others a whirl John. Cheers!
Did you ever get into the late Chris Whitley? Lovely slide sound on a National guitar. What about lap steel? - I'm a great admirer of Daniel Lanois. More ambient and soulful than out and out blues, but he is a French Canadian!
if you like the slide check out a band called Gov't Mule one very under rated guitar players and an awsome slide player (warren Haynes guitar lead vocals) has got some tuitional vids out on slide
