Bump.
I've been listening to a lot of this for about a year or so now...Really interesting stuff.

Just a few notable one's(which i liked)-

Keef Hartley Band - Halfbreed(1969) & The Time is Near(1970)
Both, excellent blues rock albums...the first one is more or less strait-up blues rock but the guitar playing is absolutely fantastic. The second one is a bit more jazzy, but definitely worth checking out as well.

Leavin' Trunk(From Halfbreed)
The Time is Near(From The Time is Near)
Roundabout(From overdog(1971))

Savoy Brown - They have released a TON of albums...I've listened to only three so far.
Blue Matter(1969), A Step Further(1969) & Raw Sienna(1970) are all superb blues rock with great melodies.
A Step Further contains a 22-minute epic!

Train to Nowhere(From Blue Matter)
Needle And Spoon(From Raw Sienna)
Tell Mama
May Be Wrong
Hellbound Train
hellbound train(Live)

Steamhammer
- I don't know how i found out about them...I think what I have is a compilation but anyways, youtube does a good enough job.

Juniors Wailing
Passing Through
When All Your Friends Are Gone(Live)
Junior's Wailing(Live)
I Wouldn't Have Thought(Live)

There are also a couple more obvious choices...Ten Years After & Cream, both of which i love.
For some weird reason though, I'm liking British blues-rock more than the American ones. I think it has something to do with the accent.
Too bad, I wasn't even born back then

Edit:
I think I've mentioned this somewhere else, but anyways, I would recommend Seven Moons by Jack Bruce & Robin Trower.(released this year)
Excellent blues-rock!
Some of their other stuff are also worth checking out...especially Bridge of Sighs by Robin Trower. Sounds so heavy yet bluesy as well. Trower is an amazing guitarist!
