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 great recomendations. But, you should check out the North Mississippi Allstars.
Viridian, wow another Ten Years After fan. I used to feel so alone. Bigpowerballs (did I really just key that in?), two words: Jimi Hendrix.
Unsound, if you enjoy Ten Years After, Alvin Lee's girlfriend was one April Lawton. April's band, which made two albums, was called Ramatam. The first, eponymously named, album featured none other than ex-Hendrix drummer Mitch Mitchell. It is worth seeking out as a neat album and as a chronicle of one of the few female axe slingers.
Don't forget Clapton!

Anything by Rory Gallagher.The double cd "BBC Sessions"is
an excellent intro to this great underrated musician.
