Blues /rock: music recommendations?

I find that I really enjoy rock/pop that involves a lot of crossover into BLUES. I like all Dire Straits, but particularly "Brothers in Arms," as well as the Moody Blues. The CD I am currently listening to the most frequently is Steve Winwood's latest, "About Time," which exhibits strong blues influences.
There must be a number of other fine recordings in this rock/blues "genre", (if it qualifies as such!) that I am not aware of. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!
Steve

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.
