Very good suggestion, D! 

Much of the Zep catalog would fit this category, I think "Dazed & Confused" is also a good example.  Mixture of old-style blues with very progressive composition and instrumentation.

 Ditto with TYA from Stonedhenge unrtil RnR Music to The World. 

Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac's album Then Play On has issues as well. 

I still listen to Albatross (on English Rose or Pious Bird of Good Omen) which was a #1 hit in the UK still today and enjoy as much as ever.  They both also have Peter Green's original Black Magic Woman.

Ten Years After - Standing At The Station

Great choice. I would add this 16 minute epic that goes beyond blues to touch on jazz and classical motifs as well as a nod to Cream among other things....


Yes, all great songs.. you can go back as far as Ten Years After's first album in 1967 to hear some touches of progressive rock as well the blues.

You can also hear some progressiveness in John Mayall's album from 1968, especially the first and last track.  Mick Taylor on Guitar, can't be bad...

Never heard that one before. What album is it on? Do you mean "Here Comes The Flood", which is not a blues tune at all?

Perhaps you mean this blues tune from the same album....



It is Here Comes The Flood I was thinking of.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

This thread should probably start with the late 60s.  For Progressive Blues Rock, Ten Years After should be considered as well a Yardbirds, Cream, John Mayall, Savoy Brown.

I can't believe nobody mentioned Deep Purple's early LPs!  This is DA BLUES!
