3	The Alligator Records 25th Anniversary Collection (1996) more music like this by Various Artists This is a specially priced, two-CDs-for-the-price-of-one photo-cube set, loaded with great stuff from Charlie Musselwhite, Koko Taylor, Lonnie Brooks, Johnny Winter, Billy Boy Arnold, Lonnie Mack, and a host of others who have trotted their wares on the label over the years.

4	Rare Chicago Blues (1993) more music like this by Various Artists Recorded between 1962 and 1968 by Norman Dayron, Rare Chicago Blues is an enthralling collection of rare blues from artists like Otis Spann, Little Brother Montgomery, Big Joe Williams, Robert Pete Williams, as well as several others. Captured live in clubs and on the street, these tracks give a good taste of what real, gritty urban blues sounded ... see all copies from $11.98! new only from $11.98!
5	Consolidated Mojo (2005) more music like this by Billy Boy Arnold Recorded in San Francisco in 1992 with producer/harpist Mark Hummel's band of the time, but not released until 2005 for reasons that are not explained in the liner notes, this is better than average traditional Chicago blues from one of the genre's creators. All 14 tracks were cut in a single eight-hour session with no time for overdubs at the end ... see all copies from $13.90! new only from $13.90!
6	Blues Harp Greats (1997) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $6.51! new only from $6.51!
7	More Blues on the South Side (1963) more music like this by Billy Boy Arnold Over half a decade away from the studio didn't hinder Billy Boy Arnold one bit on this 1963 session. His still-youthful vocals, strong harp, and imaginative songs are very effectively spotlighted, backed by a mean little Chicago combo anchored by guitarist Mighty Joe Young and pianist Lafayette Leake. The CD reissue adds a previously unreleased ... see all copies from $11.24!
8	Ten Million Dollars (1984) more music like this by Billy Boy Arnold Recording opportunities were scarce for Arnold stateside in 1984. But over in France, Black & Blue welcomed the harpist into their studios to cut this set, backed by guitarist Jimmy Johnson's professional outfit. Only a handful of originals here; the set is predominated by hoary standards such as "My Babe," "Just a Little Bit," "Last Night," and ... see all copies from $12.11! new only from $12.11!
9	I Wish You Would (1980) more music like this by Billy Boy Arnold The harpist's indispensable dozen 1955-1957 waxings for Vee-Jay, including the classic "I Wish You Would" and its blues-soaked flip "I Was Fooled" (stinging guitar by Jody Williams), the often-covered (but never bettered, except maybe by Jimmy Reed) "I Ain't Got You," and the vicious "Don't Stay Out All Night" and "You've Got Me Wrong." Also ... see all copies from $10.00!
10	The Real Blues Brothers (1987) more music like this by Various Artists This is a nice Vee-Jay collection with representative cuts from Pee Wee Crayton, John Lee Hooker, Jimmy Reed, Lightnin' Hopkins, Billy Boy Arnold, Memphis Slim and a stray track from Brownie McGhee and Sonny Terry. The big ticket for collectors on this one, however, is the inexplicable bonus of a previously unissued Eddie Taylor number, "Leave ... see all copies from $7.96!
11	House Rockin' Blues (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Compilations of vintage Chess material seem to be plentiful these days, but this excellent collection of strictly uptempo material should not be passed by at any cost. With a healthy 27 tracks aboard, the highlights are numerous with the label's stars and second stringers like Howlin' Wolf, J.B. Lenoir, John Brim, Billy Boy Arnold, Bo Diddley, ... see all copies from $9.22!
12 view cover	Blues Fest: Modern Blues of the '90s (1995) more music like this by Various Artists By the 1990s, the face of blues had changed immensely and this 18-track collection attempts to chronicle those changes. While old-timers like Buddy Guy, Charles Brown, and Etta James were still making new, groundbreaking music, second-liners like Billy Boy Arnold, Smokey Wilson, Willie Kent, and R.L. Burnside had moved up through the ranks to take ... see all copies from $24.99!
13 view cover	Evidence Blues Sampler: Four (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Volume four in the Evidence Blues Sampler series includes one track each from the label's 16 blues releases over a short six-month period during late 1994 and early 1995. The quality's still relatively high though, thanks to good selection and an ear for songs that work well together. Highlights include Willie Mabon's "Little Red Rooster" from ... see all copies from $2.93! new only from $6.75!
14 view cover	Taste of the Blues, Vol. 1 (1993) more music like this by Various Artists After his tenure at Chess Records, Lenoir made a handful of 45s for a variety of smaller Chicago labels and this 25 track compilation of largely obscure sides from the Vee-Jay vaults is where you go to find one of them. Although the singular reason for its listing here is the inclusion of the a-side of J.B.'s lone Vee-Jay single( the rocking "Do ... see all copies from $39.26!
15 view cover	Beltin' the Blues (1995) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $2.62! new only from $9.99!
16 view cover	Billy Boy Sings Sonny Boy (2008) more music like this by Billy Boy Arnold Harmonica player Billy Boy Arnold is more than just a master of the vintage late 1940s, early 1950s classic Chicago blues harp style, he's also a natural singer, with a warmth and joy in his vocals that just gets bigger and better as his career goes on. This wonderful (and generous) 17-track set (there's also an unlisted 18th track) finds Arnold ... see all copies from $13.90! new only from $13.90!
17	Blow the Back off It (1953) more music like this by Billy Boy Arnold Bootleg vinyl collection of the harpist's Vee-Jay stuff suffering from truly rotten sound quality. Its only saving grace is the appearance of Arnold's ultra-rare 1953 debut 78, "Hello Stranger," but its aural reproduction is worst of all (you can barely discern the music from the scratches and noise).

20 view cover	Boogie 'n' Shuffle (2001) more music like this by Billy Boy Arnold At this point in his career, harmonica legend Billy Boy Arnold could just coast on his Chicago blues laurels, rehashing his old tunes and tricks whenever he decides to cut a new album. But fortunately, Arnold doesn't buy into shortcuts, and neither does his producer for this session, Duke Robillard. On Boogie 'n' Shuffle, Arnold really lets it rip ... see all copies from $15.30! new only from $15.30!

22 view cover	Eldorado Cadillac (1995) more music like this by Billy Boy Arnold Billy Boy Arnold, a fluent blues harmonica player and an expressive singer, made his initial impact in the 1950s/early '60s, but then went three decades between American records. The second recording from his comeback, Eldorado Cadillac, finds Arnold (who worked many yeas earlier with Bo Diddley) in enthusiastic form while utilizing a top-notch ... see all copies from $15.30! new only from $15.30!
23 view cover	Back Where I Belong (1993) more music like this by Billy Boy Arnold Indeed he is. Recorded in Los Angeles with a crew of young acolytes offering spot-on backing (guitarists Zach Zunis and Rick Holmstrom acquit themselves well), Arnold eases back into harness with a remake of "I Wish You Would" before exposing some fine new originals (the Chuck Berry-styled rocker "Move on Down the Road" is a stomping standout) and ... see all copies from $11.21! new only from $11.21!
24 view cover	Cryin' the Blues (1995) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
25 view cover	Somebody Loan Me a Dime (1996) more music like this by Various Artists Yes, it's another generic blues compilation, but this one from Indigo Records gets high marks for being able to deliver without dragging its feet on well-worn standards. Most of the necessary bases are covered here: Chicago blues, Texas blues, Delta blues, vintage John Lee Hooker ("Helpless Blues," recorded in the late '40s), plus the obligatory ... see all copies from $18.37! new only from $18.37!
