Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac - check out the 3 CD set Live At Boston Tea Party, for a great mix of rocking blues and bluesing rock'n'roll. (The great individual guitarist Gary Lucas does a great cover of King's The Stumble as a tribute to Green on Operators Are Waiting). Foghat (at least from the evidence of their Greatest Hits album) sounded mediocre to me, much prefer Savoy Brown (all Chris Youlden's period) and Chicken Shack. How can we forget the late Mike Bloomfield - although until the Fillmore album and Live At The Old Waldorf, appeared no one album by Bloomfield was fully satisfactory (side one of Supersession with Al Kooper got close). Harvey Mandel, especially his album Shengrenade, (his use of legato predates Holdsworth's use). Like Omar (Dykes) and The Howlers for their mix of southern boogie and Howlin' Wolf (try Muddy Spring Road). Anybody come across Lester Butler (I think based in CA), did an album about 10 years ago called 13 - a record company sent me a promo with no other info.?

And last not least the much neglected, late Duster Bennett (alas killed in a road accident in 1976) - good news Sony have just released Duster Bennett: The Complete Blues Horizon Sessions? However, Indigo Records have released several Bennett CDs of live, studio outtakes and home recordings - Jumpin' At Shadows is the one to find (which as I've mentioned before the former Krimson rhyhtm section play on some of the later recordings)

I love Brian Setzer, one of the most underrated guitarplayers! Stevie Ray Vaughan is great as Rory Gallagher (both acoustic as electric), Jimmy Page, John Fogerty (CCR), Dave Edmunds (his Sabre Dance version is excellent!), Ronnie Earl (Texan bluesrock) and Alvin Lee (Ten Years After), The Allman Brothers, to name a few ... very personal!

Rory Gallagher was one of the true British greats- I've not heard an album of his I haven't liked yet...

Robin Trower's band was arguably the 70s successor to the power trio rock of Hendrix and Cream- check out 'Bridge Of Sighs' for the evidence...

Savoy Brown's 'Street Corner Talking' I like a lot, haven't heard much by these but that album is top notch.

Chicken Shack's 'Accept' I heard a while back- great stuff; I prefered it to the earlier material of theirs.
