Shout out for SnackeyP on Chicken Shack.   I love the combo of Christine McVie's vocals and Stan Webb's guitar.

I'd add Zachary Richard to the list.  He's a Cajun musician who plays across a great many styles and often sings in French.  His early live album "Fatras!" is great, high energy Cajun dance music featuring an impossibly young Sonny Landreth on guitar.  Much later, he recorded "Cap Enrage", a lovely collection of French language ballads.  In between were a series of great crossover records that blended pop, blues, rock, and Zydeco.
+1 Chicken Shack. Stan Webb is fantastc. The Blue Horizon sessions is a great box set. I also have several other albums and a live DVD of Stan and sone of his current crew.

Maceo Parker has some fantastic albums. Fred Wesley too.

There is an absolutely incredible album from 1997 that few people are aware of: Greetings From Planet Love, by The Fraternal Order Of The All. The album’s title and the group’s name should give you a hint as to what the music and lyrics sound like!

It is a tongue-in-cheek parody of the psychedelic era, done superbly well. It is the product of Andrew Gold, a name that will be familiar to listeners of a certain age. For you younger listeners, look him up. You have GOT to hear it! Especially you, whart!!

Bluesy/psych rock: All Them Witches - "Our Mother Electricity"
Trippy/psych rock: Samsara Blues Experiment - "Long Distance Trip"

Do take a listen of Yngwie Malmsteen with New Japan Philharmonic.
I think, youtube quality is better than that of Japanese cd that I have.
He is a great player whatever I might think of what he mostly plays. The orchestra is excellent too. He composed this.
