The Grind could be considered either electric blues or blues rock, depending on how you look at it (and, incidentally, is one of my favourite Aerosmith songs). Aerosmith did a few tracks in the same style (pretty much all of Honkin' on Bobo, plus a few tracks from different albums), and you'd probably also like Never Loved a Girl, Back Back Train and Eyesight to the Blind. The Allman Brothers Band worked in that style a fair bit; Whipping Post, Things You Used to Do and It's Not My Cross to Bear are a few of theirs that are stylistically similar. Greg Allman also had that same emotionally charged delivery that Steven Tyler does so well. The Black Crowes also do blues rock; tracks of theirs to check out would be Bad Luck Blue Eyes Goodbye, Could I've Been So Blind and maybe By Your Side (it's in a major key and more up-tempo, but still has the dirty guitar/emotionally charged vocal combination). Pearl Jam also does a fair bit of stuff that could be considered blues rock and if you don't know it I strongly recommend Black. It starts off slower than the Grind but builds up. Jonny Lang is another great example, with songs like The Levee or Lie to Me. And from there you can start getting into John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, etc.
So to sum up:
Aerosmith - Never Loved a Girl, Eyesight to the Blind, Back Back Train
The Allman Brothers Band - Whipping Post, Things You Used to Do, It's Not My Cross to Bear
The Black Crowes - Bad Luck Blue Eyes Goodbye, Could I've Been So Blind, By Your Side
Pearl Jam - Black
Jonny Lang - The Levee, Lie to Me
