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

I would buy some Rory Gallagher. "Live in Europe", "the Irish Tour",or "Live at the BBC" for live music. "Calling card" or "Tattoo" for studio. Make sure you get the re-mastered versions, as the sound is much better.

Reubent did mention Robben Ford in his 10-03-03 post. I 2nd him on this one. I recently got hold of a Robben Ford CD "Talk To Your Daughter". Nice blues rock. Best parts are when his guitar speakes rather than his vocals. Vocals are good too (don't get me wrong!) but the guitar is even better!
FWIW. YMMV.
