Allow me to present Blues Image from Tampa/Miami. YouTube is missing their best self-titled album that preceded 'Ride Captain Ride'. Tracks like 'Take Me to the Sunrise',
Leavin My Troubles Behind', and 'Reality Does Not Inspire" combine blues, Cuban rhythms, and rock with a prominent Hammond B3 and P-bass pulse. Played those tracks with a blues-rock band in 1973-74 that covered most of the Allman Brothers catalog, James Gang, etc.
