I wasn't suggesting a Twin - merely defending its validity as a blues guitar amp, compared to a bass amp. A Twin's obviously way better suited for the job. But my choice for a blues gig would be a 2x10 Vibroverb, a '65 Princeton (no reverb) Amp, or a Gibson Skylark GA5-T, depending on the size of the venue. A Deluxe - especially a tweed Deluxe, would also work well but I don't own one. A Twin is way louder than I would personally ever need to be on stage. If the amp I'm using is not loud enough to fill the room, there's always the option of miking the amp.
