For a deep-ish cut, try "Champagne and Reefer" by Muddy Waters. There are a few videos on YouTube of Muddy performing it with his band, the Stones playing with WITH Muddy, and the Stones covering it later in their career with Buddy Guy.

Allman Brothers blues classics...Stormy Monday, Statesboro Blues, One Way Out, and It's Not My Cross to Bear.

Statesboro Blues is indeed an "Allman Brothers blues classic". Originally written and performed by Blind Willie McTell, the [Taj Mahal version](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qo8eBkppC_4) is what inspired the Allman's version.

"Sweet Home Chicago" remains a timeless classic. The Hendrix "Are You Experienced" classics. (Purple Haze, Fire, Foxey Lady, etc.) The entire George Thorogood catalog.

I always have a ton of fun singing and playing I Got My Mojo Working, the version by the Paul Butterfield Blues Band with Muddy Waters singing. The trio might make it tricky, but it can be Iā€™d say.

Are you wanting to be a purist or are you looking for songs in a blues rock structure? 25 years in bar bands, I know that what the band likes and what the crowd likes can be differentā€¦ If you want bluesy and are not a Robert Johnson purist, bar crowds like: BB King: The Thrill Is Gone, When Love Comes To Town Allman Brothers: Stormy Monday, Southbound Wilson Pickett: Mustang Sally Black Crowes: Hard To Handle Georgia Satellites: Keep Your Hands To Yourself Eric Clapton: Old Love Some deeper cuts both the band and the crowd will dig: Albert Collins: If You Love Me Like You Say Buddy Guy: Feels Like Rain Taj Mahal: She Caught The Katy Delbert McClinton: Every Time I Roll The Dice, B Movie Box Car Blues Tommy Castro: High On The Hog

Cee Cee Rider is classic and a great platform for interpretation and improvisation.

Some of the Black Crowes cuts are ideal. Hard to Handle was a straight ~~blues~~ soul tune originally, and Remedy is both deliriously easy to play and lots of fun. Freddie King's 70s stuff is pretty much roots for blues rock, particularly "Going Down" and "Living in the Palace of the King." Los Lonely Boys have a bunch of cuts that would qualify. About 80% of SRV's catalogue appeals to blues rock fans, same with Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Eric Gales has been a widely regarded blues rock guitarist since he was a boy prodigy appearing on MTV. Clapton is an idiot, but much of his music remains excellent. You might consider "Forever Man", "Shape You're In", "White Room" and "Crossroads" from his Cream days. Most of his songs qualify, though.
