I like Robin Trower, although Stevie Ray Vaughan once said he was fixated on the darker side of Hendrix. I can see where he was coming from, but I think Trower made it work for himself. Got the album of him with Jack Bruce recently - not their best work ever, but has some good points.
Me, I'm mostly listening to anything and everything by Rory Gallagher at the moment. Got myself "The Best of Taste"; the first two albums under his own name, which amazingly I hadn't heard; "Notes From San Franciso"; and "The Beat Club Sessions". I'm trying to learn to play his (electric guitar) style at the moment, including tackling slide guitar in standard tuning - he was definitely a master of this! Got the rhythm parts from about 18 tracks down, and have figured out some of his use of sliding double-stops, pinched harmonics etc. Quite obsessed with it all really.
Also picked up on two collaboration albums from Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa. She's a cracking blues singer, and Bonamassa needs no introductions.
Rory Gallagher- hell yes, he was criminally underrated. The solo in 'A Million Miles Away' just about breaks my heart.
Treat everything in life the way a dog would- if you can't eat it or foc it, forget it.
