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?

Robert Cray "Strong Persuader" is a great album, a must have. Much of Jeff Healey's music is quite bluesy, and of course the venerable Downchild Blues Band can't be overlooked. Early Fleetwood Mac is very blues oriented (if you can find their live album, buy it!), but my all time favourite remains SRV. What a shame the man passed away, incredible talent.

Gary Moore and Luther Allison are two excellent bluesmen to add to your list. -Kirk

Indeginous is a great new(er) blues/rock band that happens to be Native American and I think all from the same family. Their lead guitar Mato Nanji is excellent. Favorite fun CD would have to be "Family Style" by Jimmy and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
