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

Robert Bradley's Blacwater Surprise is pretty good ... minor hit "Baby" off the following album: Time To Discover ... Great gravelly voice from the lead singer Robert Bradley, who certainly sounds like he's lived the blues.
It occurs to me that all these recommendations don't do a hoot of good if you never get to listen to the tunage ... So (thanks to the wonders of modern technology), as a brief intro to RBBS you can click the following RBBS Amazon link and scroll down to "Listen to Samples" to hear snippets of the first 4-5 tracks using Real Player, Windows Media Player or whatever ... Personal faves are "Baby" (the minor hit) and "You & Me" following. Okay - so not as good as a listening booth experience, but it'll give you a taste.

Think I'll do that for all recommendations from now on.
