Best Blues Rock recommendations?

Just a few more to add in the mix would be
1 Bugs Henderson & the Shuffle Kings - great rockabilly blues
2 Savoy Brown - great boogie blues
3 Pat Travers - good rockin blues
4 Chris Cain - A little known west coast artist with a jazz background. Has good clean guitar and generally a good horn section. Definitely worth a listen
5 J Geils - Live "Full House" - a must have if you want rockin blues. "Blow Your Face Out" also good
6 Larry Howard - co-founder of Grinderswitch now playing Christian oriented blues. May be hard to find
7 Kaiser-Mansfield Band - Christian oriented blues.

Sorry there Funjindemon. I was reading this thread late last night, and I guess that I missed your choice of "Dose". I also agree with your choice of Jimi Hendrix "Blues".
Have you listened to two of the latest Government Mule cds?
"Life before Insanity", with Allen Woody, and "In the Deep End", that came out after Allen Woody died. They are two really great cds.

Thanks! You Guys are absolutely wonderful! Just to let ya all now, I've printed most of your recommendations down and will be using them as a basis for all my future blues purchases. What I'll probably do is pick the best album from each of the major recommendations and pick up more if they fit my fancy. I'm sure all your threads have benefited more than me. Keep the list coming in! Cheers and rock on!

mike1diver,
the 'easy there' was more jest than anything, i troll the threads late often myself. and yes, gov't mule rocks.
inscrutable gave a nice heads up for the north miss allstars, quite deservingly, check them out if you have not yet heard them.
also, quite a few cuts on the duane allman anthologies, both vols, are excelllent.
john mayall, including clapton collaborations with the bluesbreakers are monumental homages/interpretations of what some of the brits recognized about american blues, definitley worth checking out.
btw, here in philly we have wxpn broadcasting a blues show from 8pm to something like 1 or 2am on saturdays hosted by johnny meister. not sure though if this is npr available across the country, definitely check out your 'local' public broadcast radio stations for a blues program, this can be an invaluable source of musical content. also, wprb broadcasting out of princeton university in jersey , if i recall, also has a blues program, though not quite as extended as xpn/penn blues show.
hope this helps

OOOPS ... SORRY, GUYS. Above I referred to Tinsley Ellis' version of "Texas Flood" as the all-time best. *SHAKES HEAD* Nooooo ... big boo-boo.

I was thinking of Melvin Taylor and the Slack Band, S/T, Evidence Music, Inc., ECD 26073-2 (1995). Some of Taylor's stuff can be going-through-the-motions, uninspired, would-be-great-if-heard-live-in-a-bar type stuff. BUT, this version of "Texas Flood" is absolutely amazing ... it alone is worth the price of the CD. Sorry for the error, guys.
