Branch out a bit:
Robert Randolph & the Family Band (R&B/Blues with a hint of gospel and a kickass lap steel guitar).

Ben Harper - fairly mainstream

Keller Williams (not for everyone, but a good guitarist in a folksy/bluegrass sort of way, funny lyrics)

moe. a jam band with talent

Keb' Mo - blues entertainer

Good list, just add Umphrey's McGee to it. Anchor Drops is a good CD to start out with.

Or else downloading a live show. archive.org might have something.

Yeah they have over 800 shows on the archive.org. This show is a gem, and soundboard quality too.

Sex Sleep Eat Drink Dream is good, too, although much newer.

Also, the greatest concert and album of all time in my opinion is The Band's The Last Waltz. It's got a bunch of incredible rock music, although a lot of it falls under Rockabilly, Blues, R&B, Folk and so on. Still, The Band + Van Morrison + Neil Diamond + Bob Dylan + The Paul Butterfield Blues Band + Eric Clapton + Muddy Waters + Neil Young + The Staples Singers + Joni Mitchell + Dr. John + Emmylou Harris + Ronnie Hawkins = Gotdamn that's some good music!

I just saw this for the first time this weekend. It's a Martin Scorsese film too. I thought it was excellent. So many songs by so many great artists.

Also check out Bob Seger, Bad Company, and Fleetwood Mac

I think you might like Government Mule. It is Warren Haynes' (Allman Brothers, The Dead) side project. Other members include Andy Hess (The Black Crows, Joan Osborne, John Scofield) Danny Louis (Joe Cocker) and Matt Abts (Dickey Betts Band)


They play music much like many of the bands you listed. The only difference is that the Mule is in its prime and at musically at the top of their game. If you have a chance to see a live show don't miss it, Warren is one of (if not the) best live guitarist playing today.

Sco-Mule
Lola Leave Your Light On
Mississippi Queen (old 1999) if you only look at one this it, listen for the sick Cream tease about 4:45 in

Congratulations, now you know what you'd been missing [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] The Last Waltz is amazing; it transcends the sum of its pieces and those pieces are pretty damn good to start with. I am about to go out and buy the 2 CD set, again, because I have literally worn out the one that's on my car, now.
