To a certain extent, isn't that kind of the point? Most of the best blues and blues-rock stuff isn't 'clean', really. That's my problem with lots of Yardbird-era Clapton and/or early Beattles stuff, as it's just whited-up blues, sort of like (though not as bad as) Pat Boone covering Little Richard.
(And since someone opened the floor to nominations for best 'blues' recording with "Voodile Chile (Slight Return)", may I counter-nominate Jimi's instrumental "Born Under a Bad Sign?")
