I am, of course, a huge fan of blues rock, old and new, and a lot of its derivatives. But if we're going to look at modern blues rock, I always have to mention the great Black Diamond Heavies.

Of course, they don't just play covers. They have their own stuff. But this is how I was introduced, so I figured I'd show it to ya'll.

this is one of my favourite sub-genres and there's so many faves to choose from, so I'll go with what I think is the epitome of blues-rock:-

Jeff Healy did a fair version, underrated as a guitarist (Jeff Healy). Healy did Bob Dylan's, When The Night Comes Falling (From The Sky) good, (killer lead solo).

Ram Jam's Leadbelly cover, this one has the extended solo, it's only 3:55 long not 5:30, the promo video is like around 2:33

I've always like this song too, though I think of that Epic Beard Man You Tube video, whenever I hear it.

What do you guys think is SRV's best album? I have Texas Flood and was thinking about getting another.
