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.
