Legends of the Blues, Vol. 2

Legends of the Blues, Vol. 2 (1991) more music like this

by Various Artists

As with the first volume in the series Columbia/Legacy blues series, this CD has one selection apiece from 20 important blues artists, including many previously unissued (at least on Columbia) songs and alternate takes. The fact that 13 of the tracks are at best quite unfamiliar should make the set (in the absence of more "complete" collections) ...

News & the Blues: Telling It Like It Is

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, ...

Complete Recorded Works, Vol. 1 (1935-1936) (1994) more music like this

by Casey Bill Weldon

Nearly nothing is known about Casey Bill Weldon, a fine blues performer who recorded 100 titles under his own name. He is believed to have recorded with the Memphis Jug Band in 1927 (when he led his first sessions) and then nothing was heard from him until 1935, when he re-emerged as a steel guitarist and vocalist, recording for Vocalion and ...

by Various Artists

Volume seven in this series of rarities (which includes alternate takes and 13 formerly unissued performances) has music that blues collectors will certainly consider valuable.

Need a Shot: The Essential Recordings of Urban Blues

Need a Shot: The Essential Recordings of Urban Blues (1997) more music like this

by Various Artists

Featuring two-dozen tracks drawn from commercially released 78s of the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s, Need a Shot is primarily a piano-based selection, although there is a fair amount of guitar and harmonica tossed in, and on occasion even drums, saxes, and clarinets. Labeled urban blues, these sides are only a little removed from their country blues ...

Roots of Canned Heat (2001) more music like this

by Various Artists

Canned Heat was formed by three ardent record collectors with a devout passion for old blues 78s from the 1920s and '30s. Guitarist and harmonica player Alan Wilson, singer Bob Hite, and guitarist Henry Vestine took their scholarly interest in these remarkable old recordings and lovingly re-created them for the emerging rock audience in the late ...

Broke, Black and Blue [Box] (1999) more music like this

by Various Artists

This four-disc, 100-track box set differs from most blues compendiums on a number of fronts. For openers, it focuses on the first 20 years of blues recordings, from 1924's "Barrelhouse Blues" by Ed Andrews to 1946's "Rhythm Mama" by Johnny Temple. Second, even though there are entries from artists like Blind Blake, Mississippi John Hurt, Son House ...
