Looking for some music...

[ITSANSS]

Looking for some music for my dad (and myself) but am not sure what to get.

We both like Rock music and like Blues music and LOVE Blues Rock. I want to get him some new CDs but between the two of us, we kinda' have all the most popular stuff. i.e. B.B. King, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughaun, etc.

Basically, I just need some suggestions for some bands that I could look into that are similar to the groups I mentioned above.

By the way, a couple I'm gonna' get that we don't yet have is Robin Trower - Bridge of Sighs and John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers - Hard Road (Exp).

Thanks!

You might like to check out "Black Country Communion" ITSANSS, all my friends that like blues rock seem to think this new album is top drawer.

I can personally say, both those albums are fantastic. You'll love 'em.



Here some excellent blues rock albums, if you don't already have them...

Allman Brothers Band - Fillmore East



George Thorogood & the Destroyers



Canned Heat - Boogie with Canned Heat



Johnny Winter And...Live



Paul Butterfield Blues Band - Paul Butterfield Blues Band



Jimi Hendrix - Blues

Very good recommends up there

Good call on Mayall and Trower. Phenomenal records, both!

I'd recommend these two additions. Roy Buchanan's Live Stock and Lance Lopez's Simplify Your Vision. One is a classic and the other is a newer band with all the blues-rock fury one can handle!

check 'em out





Not sure how widely available Lopez is, but these guys have it...

This one is a good choice..


And I agree on John Mayall.. I've been looking to find a CD of him and Keith Urban that was featured on CMT..

Tony Joe White (very blues influenced, with a bit of country - found in the blues section of my record store )

Can't recommend any particular albums, because all I've got thus far is a "Best of", but he's quality from what I've heard



Grooveshark - Willie and Laura Mae Jones - Tony Joe White
