A question similar to this has probably been asked before, but does anyone know any good blues (rock) guitarists similar to Stevie Ray Vaughan and Robby Krieger (L.A. Woman album)? I prefer stuff more in the 60's/70's range. Please don't mention Eric Clapton... However, anyone like B.B. King and Albert Kink is great too!

No Jimmy Pages either.

Thanks for more stuff, Joe. I already know Duane Allman's music (I love The Allman Brothers), but I've only heard of Leslie West. Didn't know if he was good or not.

Robbie Krieger did some blues-rock guitar work in the L.A. Woman album by The Doors of course. You can hear good blues influence from songs like "Been Down So Long" and "L.A. Woman".

See Martin Crouch's answer, anyone who gave him a Thumbs Down has no clue about good electric blues...sorry but Kenny Wayne Shepard and Johnny Lang get a thumbs down no matter that a few good ones were including along with them.
Also, Freddy King, Jeff Beck (early stuff)Amos Garret (Butterfield's Better Days), Duke Robillard, Robin Trower, Ry Cooder, Muddy Waters, Hubert Sumlin (Howlin' Wolf Band) Luther Allison,
But no one beats Albert King, The Velvet Bulldozer!

Johnny Winter - I think you'll dig Johnny Winter.
You might also dig Houndog Taylor.
Also check out Alvin Lee

I like John Lee Hooker (Hooker also did some good stuff with Canned Heat)
also Duane Allman (Allman's covering Hoochie Coochie Man, Dimples)
Leslie West (big fat guy from Mountain)-In my opinion a very underrated guitarist
can't believe I forgot about these:
"Lonesome" Dave Peverett & Rod Price-Foghat
Alvin Lee-Ten Years After
Steve Miller-before Jet Airliner, etc Steve Miller Band was known as the Steve Miller Blues Band
