1	The Young Big Bill Broonzy (1928-1935) (1928) more music like this by Big Bill Broonzy Big Bill Broonzy was one of the few country blues musicians of the '20s and '30s to find success when the music evolved into an electric, urbanized form. From his initial sides with Paramount in 1928, he followed the music's development closely. Switching to electric guitar and adding drums to his music in the late 1930s, he helped pave the way ... see all copies from $15.65! new only from $15.65!
2	Trouble in Mind [Smithsonian/Folkways] (2000) more music like this by Big Bill Broonzy This is something of a best-of for Broonzy's Folkways recordings, done in 1956-57 near the end of his life, all featuring just his voice and his acoustic guitar (although Pete Seeger adds banjo to a live version of "This Train (Bound for Glory)"). Although Broonzy, who died in 1958 of throat cancer, was likely not in peak physical shape by this ... see all copies from $15.28! new only from $15.28!
3	Big Bill's Blues (1996) more music like this by Big Bill Broonzy If you're going to sweat a Big Bill Broonzy collection down to only one disc, this is the one to keep in the collection. It's really his most representative work, highlighting most of the best-known numbers from his extensive repertoire and the highlights (including a hilarious "When I've Been Drinkin'," in which he supposedly downs several shots ... see all copies from $18.16! new only from $18.16!
4	The Beauty of the Blues (1991) more music like this by Various Artists This is a beautiful 18-track collection from a sampling of Columbia/Legacy's Roots 'N' Blues series. The recordings, from 1929-1947, include a wide variety of traditional blues and blues-related styles. Excellent sound, with music from Robert Johnson, Big Bill Broonzy, and others. Niles J. Frantz, All Music Guide see all copies from $2.95!
5	News & the Blues: Telling It Like It Is (1991) more music like this by Various Artists Like any form of popular music, the blues has reflected the social conditions of the times, sometimes quite explicitly. News & the Blues offers 20 songs from the Columbia vaults from between 1927 and 1947. The Depression is reflected often, as expected, but there are also songs about natrual disasters, public figures like Joe Louis, World War II, ... see all copies from $12.00!
6	The Rough Guide to Delta Blues (2002) more music like this by Various Artists A fantastic compilation that really does span the length of Mississippi Delta blues, from the early days of the Mississippi Sheiks and Charley Patton (with the classic "High Water Everywhere Part One") through to the modern but equally rooted sounds of Asie Payton, R.L. Burnside, and the late Junior Kimbrough. And it's every bit as thorough in ... see all copies from $13.16! new only from $13.16!
7	The Bill Broonzy Story (1960) more music like this by Big Bill Broonzy This three-CD set (originally five LPs) was a product of three recording sessions, held on July 12 and 13, 1957, immediately before Broonzy entered the hospital for surgery on the lung cancer that would end his career and take his life just a year later. He sounds in good enough spirits, and the voice and guitar are still in excellent form as he ... see all copies from $19.54! new only from $31.99!
8	Black, Brown and White (1995) more music like this by Big Bill Broonzy Black, Brown and White includes live tracks recorded in Belgium in March 1952 (three featuring pianist Blind John Davis) and December 1955 during Europe's discovery of Big Bill Broonzy. The highlight of the disc is the laid-back atmosphere in the living room setting recorded at Broonzy biographer Yannick Bruyoghes' house in Brussels. Several ... see all copies from $11.34! new only from $11.34!
9	All the Classic Sides 1928-1937 (2004) more music like this by Big Bill Broonzy Of all the pre-war Delta bluesman, no one achieved the popular status of Big Bill Broonzy. Indeed, as Neil Slaven states in his liner notes to Volume One of this collection, Broonzy had been issuing recordings for over 20 years before his last name was attached to the labels; only "Big Bill" appeared under the track listing. This five-CD ... see all copies from $27.58! new only from $27.58!
10	Vol. 3: The War and Post War Years 1940-51 (2007) more music like this by Big Bill Broonzy Mississippi-born guitarist Big Bill Broonzy had a voice that could really grow on you. The living embodiment of the rural-to-urban blues tradition, he often infused the gutsy, sometimes brutally honest immediacy of acoustic Chicago blues and good time hokum with the lonely intensity of the field holler. Vol. 3 in JSP's extensively complete Big ... see all copies from $25.71! new only from $25.71!

15 view cover	Do That Guitar Rag (1928-1935) (1928) more music like this by Big Bill Broonzy This a marvelous little companion piece to Young Big Bill Broonzy (1928-35) on Yazoo. Broonzy's ragtime guitar picking is textbook in its scope, and his vocals are as warm as can be. Dubbed from old 78s, the ultra high quality of the music on Do That Guitar Rag (1928-1935) make any audiophile nitpicking a moot point indeed. Broonzy is at his ... see all copies from $15.65! new only from $15.65!

18 view cover	1937-1940, Vol. 2 (2005) more music like this by Big Bill Broonzy The second volume in JSP's Big Bill Broonzy retrospective is four discs long, covering the bluesman's years in Chicago and New York. What is astonishing is that there are 100 tracks here. While it's true that there are many alternate takes for the sake of the historical record, nonetheless, when combined with volume one, this accounts for a ... see all copies from $26.68! new only from $26.68!
19 view cover	Amsterdam Live Concerts 1953 (2006) more music like this by Big Bill Broonzy There's no shortage of live and studio recordings from Big Bill Broonzy's European appearances during the '50s -- if not as common as Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee live sets, they are out there. That said, this two-CD set is still a dazzling addition to Broonzy's discography, on technical as well as musical grounds. It not only captures him on ... see all copies from $39.68! new only from $39.68!
20 view cover	1934-1947 (1991) more music like this by Big Bill Broonzy Here are two giants of the great '30s Chicago piano-and-guitar blues scene. Besides making superb records under his own name, singer/guitarist Tampa Red backed all sorts of vocalists in all sorts of styles. Much of the time he worked with pianist Georgia Tom, later a major gospel composer. You get some of both kinds here, including lots of the non ... see all copies from $11.24! new only from $11.24!
21 view cover	As Good As It Gets: Country Blues (2000) more music like this by Various Artists For the most part, the Disky label's As Good As It Gets series lives up to its title, dividing early influential musical genres (gospel, cajun, hillbilly, jazz, etc.) into budget-priced two-disc samplers. As Good As It Gets: Country Blues includes 52 original classic performances from the likes of Big Bill Broonzy, Blind Willie McTell, Memphis ... see all copies from $11.98! new only from $19.35!

While the sound quality tends to be muddy, this is a decent blues primer for the novice at a bargain-bin price. Al ... see all copies from $2.30! new only from $2.30!
