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!

Roy Buchanan played the blues like no one else. His song "The Messiah will come again" will make you blue, when you thought you were having a good day!

I'll second the mule. A related band that really cranks is blue floyd. Allen Woody and Matt Abts form the core with help from Marc Ford . Warren plays on Money. Both the 1/31/00 and 1/15/00 shows are great.
I see that Walter Trout was mentioned, excellent choice his live double CD. also Tinsley Ellis, Smokin Joe Kubeck,
Aerosmiths' newest album is blues. Go to www.live365.com, click electric blues 56, this is primairly blues rock, & listen to the choices. You are the best judge.
