A few specific songs by country artists which sound bluesy:
"Playing with Fire" [blues instrumental; in tribute to Robben Ford], "Time Warp" [jazz/country/blues instrumental], "She's Her Own Woman" [the guitar work has not only a somewhat bluesy tone but a lot of blues feel to it], "Oh Yeah, You're Gone" [feat. Robben Ford; both play guitar on this track] and "Let the Good Times Roll" [feat. B.B. King] by Brad Paisley
"Clutterbilly" [country/rock/blues instrumental] by Keith Urban
"Suicide Blues," "Walls of Huntsville" and "Late Last Night" by Cross Canadian Ragweed (they're labeled as country, but they tend to sound more like rock...these songs are very bluesy though)
"Ain't Going Down ('Til the Sun Comes up)" and "Workin' for a Livin'" by Garth Brooks
"Don't Do Me No Good" and "There's a Place in the Whiskey" by Gretchen Wilson
"She Brings the Lightnin' Down" by John Rich
"It's a Minor Thing," "Telewacker" and "3 1/2 Minutes Left" by Redd Volkaert
"That's Where Songs Come From" by Rockie Lynne
"T-R-O-U-B-L-E" and "The Whiskey Ain't Workin'" [feat. Marty Stuart] by Travis Tritt

Tom Waits - Bone Machine
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_Machine
Probably the best Country/Blues/Rock hybrid album I've heard.Although, Tom Waits isn't technically classified as a country musician he does blend many different styles together, creating something often very unique.
Here's a song from the album: http://www.last.fm/music/Tom+Waits/_/Jesus+Gonna+B...
The Felice Brothers are also a great band! They are more countryish.
Here's a song:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcVku6bFe-U
EDIT* I just found out about a very talented country blues artist called Rachel Brooke: http://www.myspace.com/rachelbrooke1
Her songs "Wolves" and "Someday I'll Fall" are my favourites.

Checkout Billy Joe Shaver, especially the stuff he did with his son, Eddy.

Listen to a song called 'Home' by Marc Brausard (not sure on the spelling). I think you'll like it.
