3	Atlantic Soul Classics (1990) more music like this by Various Artists An early and still-valuable collection of prime Atlantic R&B and soul sides. The label that both stole and helped foster some of Stax and Hi Records' thunder brings you a predictably far-reaching mix, ranging from the proto-rock & roll of Big Joe Turner and vocal harmony riches by the Drifters to classic Southern soul from Otis Redding, Aretha ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.13!
4	Boss of the Blues (1956) more music like this by Big Joe Turner During an era when Big Joe Turner recordings were often surprise hits with rock & roll fans (particularly "Shake, Rattle and Roll"), he occasionally recorded no-nonsense blues-oriented jazz dates too.

Alongside a few tracks penned ... see all copies from $11.66! new only from $11.66!
9	Life Ain't Easy (1974) more music like this by Big Joe Turner Big Joe Turner's Pablo recordings of 1974-84 tended to be loose and sometimes a bit sloppy (with some overlong performances) but they were always full of spirit. On this particular CD, Turner's classic singing is matched with a mostly all-star crew including trumpeter Roy Eldridge, trombonist Al Grey, tenor saxophonist Lee Allen, bassist Ray Brown ... see all copies from $8.01!
10	Joe Turner/Rockin' the Blues (2000) more music like this by Big Joe Turner This reissue from Collectables combines two classic Joe Turner Atlantic sides, Joe Turner and Rockin' the Blues, originally released in 1957 and 1958, respectively.

11 view cover	Blues Masters, Vol. 1: Urban Blues (1992) more music like this by Various Artists While more horn-driven and less guitar reliant than other forms of blues, the urban style nonetheless provides its own spectacular highlights, some of the best of which are right here. The first volume in this 15 volume series features classic performances by Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson, Dinah Washington, T-Bone Walker, Charles Brown, Joe Turner, and ... see all copies from $4.90!
12 view cover	The Trumpet Kings Meet Joe Turner (1974) more music like this by Big Joe Turner This album features a most unusual session.

On three blues (including the 15-minute "I Know You Love Me Baby") and ... see all copies from $10.06! new only from $10.06!
13 view cover	The Very Best of Big Joe Turner (1951) more music like this by Big Joe Turner After Rhino Records began their series of reissues of classic blues and R&B material from the Atlantic Records vaults, they did a snappy edit, shuffle, and augmentation of Atlantic's fine Big Joe Turner's Greatest Hits, and the result was the equally superb The Very Best of Big Joe Turner. The Very Best of Big Joe Turner features 12 of the tunes ... see all copies from $4.94! new only from $9.39!
14 view cover	The Best of the Blues [MCA Special Products] (1990) more music like this by Various Artists Certainly, a single-disc budget-line collection such as MCA Special Products' Best of the Blues can't live up to its title, but those expecting such a disc to be a definitive introduction to such a rich idiom as the blues are simply deluding themselves. Think of the compilation as an affordable sampler of one label's vaults, and you'll be on the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.41!
15 view cover	Jumpin' with Joe: The Complete Aladdin & Imperial Recordings (1994) more music like this by Big Joe Turner Big Joe Turner's remarkable recordings for Atlantic and Decca have been frequently reissued and evaluated. But his singles for other labels haven't gotten similar treatment, which makes this 18-cut single-disc anthology of Aladdin and Imperial material so welcome. These were recorded in the late '40s and early '50s and were closer to the Kansas ... see all copies from $14.00! new only from $14.00!

19 view cover	Evidence Blues Sampler (1992) more music like this by Various Artists Evidence's blues reissue campaign has been exhaustive and diverse in its artistic and stylistic range, something that is reflected in this 15-cut sampler culled from various sessions.

Hutto, and the tandem of Junior Wells and Buddy Guy, plus classic R&B by Louis Jordan and Big Joe Turner and ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.50!

23 view cover	Everyday I Have the Blues (1975) more music like this by Big Joe Turner This CD reissues one of Big Joe Turner's better Pablo releases. In 1975 Turner's voice was still strong and he had a compatible four-piece group that featured veteran guitarist Pee Wee Crayton. With guest Sonny Stitt contributing typically boppish solos on tenor and alto, Turner sings mostly familiar material (including "Stormy Monday," "Piney ... see all copies from $5.92! new only from $9.91!
