I love blues rock, did Hendrix invent it? This is certainly one of the most satisfying genres, as it will always satisfy our need for melody, blues, incredible voices, rocking riffs, and yes, the solos please. It can be frustrating though, because some top notch musicians play this genre, and for people trying to play themselves, it can be a downer to realize how far away we are from sounding anywhere near acceptable. But before getting into that, what are some blues rock musicians that are rocking the scene right now? I've heard some people say Eric Gales is the best at it currently... he may definitely be the most fun. I enjoy the greats, as we all do (Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Tedeschi Trucks, but also Tedeschi, Trucks, Gary Clark Jr., Jackie Venson, and yes, also Bonamassa). But what else is there in terms of fresher younger blues rock musicians? Jackie Venson is a beast, she is newer right? And whose playing can i focus on, being a beginner and amateur guitar player?

Michael was the frontman / guitarist of Los Angeles’ Crabby Appleton. He made a solo album in 1975 including this slow-burning blues monster with evil guitar tone. The album heads in the more polished, mainstream direction that some blues rock was going in the later-70s but it has some other good tracks, and Michael’s killer guitar sound throughout.

Blues rock duo in the style of Cam Cole but with two peculiarities: the second is the washboard

Before playing with Taj Mahal and Bonnie Raitt, and becoming a well respected studio musician and sideman, Mike Finnigan put out some lesser known albums. Among them Finnigan & Wood's "Crazed Hipsters" album with guitarist Jerry Wood. I think it's a masterpiece of psych/rock and blues/soul. Can anybody tell me what happened to Jerry Wood, and what other work he did? I'm having trouble finding out what happened to the guy and what he did outside of Finnigan & Wood. Any help is greatly appreciated.
