Blues /rock: music recommendations?

It occurs to me that all these recommendations don't do a hoot of good if you never get to listen to the tunage ... So (thanks to the wonders of modern technology), as a brief intro to RBBS you can click the following RBBS Amazon link and scroll down to "Listen to Samples" to hear snippets of the first 4-5 tracks using Real Player, Windows Media Player or whatever ... Personal faves are "Baby" (the minor hit) and "You & Me" following. Okay - so not as good as a listening booth experience, but it'll give you a taste.

Think I'll do that for all recommendations from now on.

All of the Ten Years After albums are great. Start with the live album "Undead". Savoy Brown did some great stuff, start with "Raw Sienna". Oh, then there's John Mayall, start with "Jazz Blues Fusion".

Don't forget Humble Pie, "Smokin'" is too good. And, believe it or not, the original incarnation of Fleetwood Mac, with the brilliant Peter Green on guitar was an excellent blues/rock band.

there are so many possibilities. tonight the PBS series on the blues is about the British Invasion and how it was led by the blues. watch it. take lots of notes.

All great recomendations. But, you should check out the North Mississippi Allstars.
