A Blues Guy

Hi folks,

I've been a long-time listener of many southern blues-rock bands and am trying to extend my reach beyond the main few bands (Allman Bros, Creedence, Lynard Skynard, even Little Feat to some extent), and wondered if anyone had any good recommendations? Bands like Free, the 'Dead, Blind Faith, Canned Heat, Steppenwolf, Cream are particular favourites too... I guess Terry Reid, David Crosby's "If Only I Could Remember My Name..." are in the right bracket too...
