You can't go wrong with GM.  They're hard to pigeonhole.  Warren
plays some slide, so you might be tempted to call them Allman-esque,
but they also cover War Pigs.  Long guitar workouts are amazing, and
a killer bassist [and drummer] as well.  These guys record their
studio albums essentially live--if they overdub, it's the RHYTHM
part.  Check them out.  Great band, and very fan-friendly.  Allow
live taping, etc...
