Best Blues Rock recommendations?

I just started listening to Blues Rock and have been bowled over by recents CDs I bought like Robert Lucas, Kenny Wayne Shepard, Buddy Guy, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Led Zep, Jeff Beck etc. I intend to increase my collection and am keen on soem worthwhile recommendations. What are some of the Blues Rocks albums you've heard, especially the newer releases over the last few years?

Bonnie Raitt "Road Tested", live album, beautifully mastered. And, if you have 5 channel DTS, the DTS Road Tested disk is unbelievable.

Check out Johnny Winter's classic "Second Winter". Try to find the quickly out of print Mobile Fidelity CD. Forget about the standard Columbia CD-it's awful.
If you have a good turntable/cartridge/phone pre-amp then find the original 3 sided LP release. JW didn't have enough material to release a full double album so they issued 3 sides. A bonus resulting from this is this allowed them full groove width resulting in terrific bass response. Check it out-you won't be disappointed!
