aside from stevie ray vaughan, does anyone know other bands or musicians that is similar in his style...

I find the blues very interesting.. I like the the blues-rock kind... no offense to any hard-core blues fan but right now, I don't dig the old school blues thing (probably later...), I really like the sound of bands like Cream and SRV so does anyone recommend any.

Instrumental Blues-Rock Bands too! If anyone has the software of Voyetra's Teach Me Blues Guitar, that's the style of instrumental blues I'm reffering to

here's Voyetra's link:
