Blues based hard rock/metal

Another one is Graveyard Train, 1993 I think.

I never really would've lumped Faster Pu$$ycat into this category. Shark Island, too, while I'm at it.

For FP, I definitely recognize that they incorporate bluesy riffs, but they are much glammier/sleazier than any of the other bands mentioned.

Downloaded a couple of new discs thanks to this thread. Got Graveyard Train cranking right now!

Red Sea sounds good to me. Never heard of them before but would like to get there cd.

Only shot to get red sea would be on ebay, its been long OOP.

There are some insane prices over at amazon for Red Sea.

Rival Sons!

Great thread! I love this type of stuff also. I am especially fond of releases from the early 90's, when I feel this style was really thriving, albeit sorta in the underground.







70's Southern type Rock with then future Foreigner vocalist Jimi Jameson:



Also, can someone help me out; I saw a thread here a while back about a new female fronted Hard Rock (rather than full on Metal) band. I cant find the thread, but I think the band or its release had Wolf in it. Anyone know whom I might reffering to?

Wait, Jimi's going to leave Survivor and replace Kelly Hansen?  

Anyway, a then future Foreigner singer made some stuff in the mid-'70s that kinda fits into this thread  

^^Wow!

You know, I've been out of touch with this style for a long time. Time to get dirty again.

Gary Moore is my absolute favourite

Oh yes! Man it's going to rule! We might even see a Jimi Jameson's Queensrÿche in the not too distant future.
