Best Blues Rock recommendations?

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.

There are some great suggestions above. Based on your criteria I would suggest the following:

Ian Moore - they are all great but I would suggest his self titled album first

Chris Duarte

Johnny Lang

Happy Listening,
Dave

Of the ones mentioned I'd like to reaffirm some of selections:
Doug MacLeod - especially You Can't Take My Blues
Allman Brothers - early material
Albert Collins
SRV
Jimmy Thackery and the Drivers
Keb Mo

Now for a few of my own suggestions:
John Cambell - Howlin' Mercy (excellent cover of Led Zeps When the Levee Breaks)
Junior Wells - Hoodoo Man Blues
Muddy Waters Tribute Band
Houndog Taylor and the Houserockers
Big Bad Smitty

There is a lot out there. You should be able to add a lot to your collection with all of these recommendations.
