Anything Robin Trower

radfrad, I agree totally!! I love Robin Trower especially the albums with Jack Bruce. Also, Anything by Little Charlie and the Nightcats (Alligator Records) awesome rock the house Blues! Eric Clapton's "Unplugged", "From the Cradle". There are way to many to list...like Johnny Hodges & Wild Bill Davis "Blue Rabbit"

 Im stopping only because I dont want to sit here and type 100 more at least.
