Blues Piano Orgy (1972) more music like this

by Various Artists

Thanks in part to the luridly alluring title and the enthusiastically informative liner notes by Bob Koester, this solid collection was many a young musician's introduction to the men who pioneered blues piano in the first half of the 20th century. Roosevelt Sykes is the best represented artist here, and his leering vocals are hard to resist: ...

Trouble Blues (1960) more music like this

by Curtis Jones

The taciturn pianist in the company of a fine New York rhythm section and Johnny "Big Moose" Walker (but on guitar, not piano) made for a winning combination on this 1960 album. Jones delivers his downbeat "Suicide Blues," "Low Down Worried Blues," "Lonesome Bedroom Blues"...well, you get the picture. Jones wasn't exactly an upbeat kind of guy. ...

by Various Artists

Some musicologists have compared country and the blues because of their humorous approach to life's challenges and disappointments, and one could also draw a parallel between the frankness of the blues and hip-hop's blunt lyrics--especially when it comes to relationships. Much like the hip-hoppers of the 1980s and 1990s, the blues artists of the ...

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 ...
