Best Blues Rock recommendations?

Excellent addition to the list, Craig. I should have listed Lonnie -- you are right, the guys rocks like hell.

Buddy Guy - How could I forget Buddy Guy's "Damn Right I Got The Blues" This is a good Buddy Guy cd to begin with.

Derek & The Dominos: Layla and Other Love Songs. This cd features some amazing blues guitar riffs between Eric Clapton and Duane Allman, expecially on the cuts: Key To The Highway, and Have You Ever Loved A Woman. There's a 20th Anniversary Edition [BOX SET]:The Layla Sessions. It's a three cd package of this with one whole cd where everyone just jams.

Eric Clapton also has a cd titled: From The Cradle. He performs blues standards, and his guitar work is phenomenal.

Some more suggestions are Doug MacLeod, anything by him...Mighty Sam McClain....give it up to love...terry evans-puttin' it down....philadelphia jerry ricks-empty bottle blues....way recommended...ted hawkins..happy hour & the next hundred years...awesome.....and the holmes brothers...

Ross is right, Buddy Guy's "Damn Right I've Got the Blues" is certainly one of his best. I saw Buddy Guy perform this LIVE-- and also "Mustang SallY"-- here in W. Oregon. He has a smile that can light up the whole state! I'm making a copy of this thread when it nears the end. Cheers. Craig

Albert King, James Cotton, Jimmy Rodgers, Hubert Sumlin, Roy Buchanan and John Lee Hooker for some of the established bluesmen, Anson Funderburgh and the Rockets for a newer blues group.
