1970s Blues/Rock bands

[BluesRocker]

Eire Apparent - Rock 'N' Roll Band....These were a band from Northern Ireland that were kicking around at the same time as Rory Gallagher's band Taste...They only made one album but they struck lucky with Jimi Hendrix producing the album and playing on it too...Eire Apparent helped launch the career of Henry McCullough..but this is more late 60's, by 1970 the band were no more.

Toad, with the title track of their 1972 album 'Tomorrow Blue'..Some great guitar here from those 70s Swiss heavy blues rockers.

Ultra - band formed in San Antonio,Texas back in 1974, believe they disbanded about 4 years later...I know little about them but i discovered some of their music on you tube quite a few years ago...This rocks!..its Southern Rock meets boogie rock meets hard rock meets metal.

You Got To Move - The Nighthawks

I read a comment a year or two ago from Ritchie Blackmore former Deep Purple founding member and guitarist with DP & Rainbow saying that he basically didn't see what was so special about SRV or words to that effect although Ritchie may have said what he said when SRV first became known to wider blues & rock audiences back in 1983?.

Blues rock?? There are a few songs that have lead guitar with a rock feel but most of it is mediocre psych pop rock.
I almost bought an original on vinyl a few years back at my fiends record shop but thought he was asking a bit too much for it.
