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

Dave Alvin's latest CD, Ashgrove, should fit your bill, starting with the title song which pays homage to the blues greats that played this legendary LA venue. It really rocks. The rest of the album is just as good and can be sampled on iTunes.

You also might want to try :
Jar of Flies by Alice In Chains
Can't Look Back by Coco Montoya
Disraeli Gears by Cream - Remastered

They all have other albums as well although A.I.C. went through a lot of player changes through out the course of their times. And of course Cream is Clapton.

Tinsly Ellis is the blues/rock king IMO, too much soul for any one guy. Jimmy Thackery is right up there with him. Ian Moore and Gary Moore (not related) are also good choices. Coco kills but look to his earlier stuff would be my recommendation...his first disc is great but i'm spacing on the name right now.
