Barbecue Blues

Barbecue Blues (1998) more music like this

by Various Artists

Barbecue Blues relies on a cutesy concept -- it contains nothing but blues and R&B songs about food, barbeques and appetites -- but it works surprsingly well, mainly because most of the featured artists are excellent. Surprisingly, the compilers decided to bypass modern electric blues for classic female blues, jump blues, classic R&B and country ...

The Blues, Vol. 6 [Chess/MCA] (1991) more music like this

by Various Artists

This 45-song, two-disc collection is subtitled "two decades of killer fretwork," and never was a set so aptly described.

Chess Blues-Rock Songbook: The Classic Originals

Chess Blues-Rock Songbook: The Classic Originals (1997) more music like this

by Various Artists

While Chess Records' legacy as a dominating and shaping force on rock & roll is well chronicled, you don't really get the full range of it until you're ultimately confronted with the music itself. This two-disc, 36-track compilation drives that point home with an almost numbing intensity. Whether they're blues tunes that have been covered so many ...
