1	Collection (2003) more music like this by Junior Parker After giving rockabilly fans something to talk about forever with his 1953 Sun Records single "Mystery Train" b/w "Love My Baby," Junior Parker moved on to Duke Records, his home for the next dozen or so years. This compilation is drawn from that period, and it contains some of Parker's best efforts, including fine reworkings of a pair of ... see all copies from $9.75! new only from $9.75!
2	The Essential Blues [House of Blues] (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Essential Blues is an attempt to trace the evolution of the music from the Mississippi Delta to Chicago and other modern, urban cities. It does a fairly good job in providing a brief history, but the main strength of the collection simply comes from the music. Featuring cuts from Lightnin' Hopkins, Howlin' Wolf, B.B. King, Slim Harpo, Junior ... see all copies from $6.98! new only from $10.77!
3	Mystery Train (1990) more music like this by Junior Parker/James Cotton/Pat Hare This excellent little compilation features at least one extant take of everything Junior and his original band, the Blue Flames, recorded at Sun Records between 1952 to 1954. His debut single for the label and his first hit, the classic "Feelin' Good" is aboard as well as the equally fine (but originally unissued) "Feelin' Bad." His leanings ... see all copies from $14.74! new only from $14.74!
4	The Sun Records Story (2001) more music like this by Various Artists This three-disc, 84-track collection does a mostly good job of detailing the fabulous history of Sam Phillips' legendary Sun Records imprint, which was launched in 1952, but only mostly, because while it has a wonderful selection of artists and styles, from gospel, blues, and hillbilly to country, Western swing, and nascent rock & roll, from ... see all copies from $34.66! new only from $34.66!
5	The Best of Bobby Bland, B.B. King & Little Junior Parker (1992) more music like this by Various Artists MCA Special Products' The Best of Bobby Bland, B.B. King & Little Junior Parker contains a selection of tracks from each artist, leaning heavily in the direction of Bobby Bland. Such unevenness is typical for budget line collections and it's forgiveable here, because the material is all quite good. After all, the three featured artists are masters ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
6	Depression Blues: Blues Ballads for Rainy Day (1998) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
7	The Best of the Blues, Vol. 3 [Universal] (1994) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
8	Driving Wheel (1962) more music like this by Little Junior Parker Junior's emerging from his fin-tailed Cadillac on the front of this vintage LP, which contains all kinds of gems not on MCA's CD. For example: an irresistibly upbeat "How Long Can This Go On," the richly arranged blues ballads "I Need Love So Bad" and "Someone Somewhere," Junior's dance hit "Annie Get Your Yo Yo" (all done with Duke's brassy house ... see all copies from $12.00! new only from $16.39!
9	Blues That Gave America Soul (1998) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
10	Depression Blues: It Serves Me Right to Suffer (1998) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $5.00! new only from $29.99!
11	Basic Blues, Vol. 3 (1999) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $2.99! new only from $2.99!
12 view cover	Harp Blues (1999) more music like this by Various Artists This 25-track collection brings together some of the most inspiring blues harp performances on record. With the exception of John Lee "Sonny Boy" Williamson's "Bring Me Another Half a Pint" (what's better known as Jimmy Rogers' "Sloppy Drunk" and originally penned even earlier by Lucille Bogan) from 1948, everything on here was recorded in the ... see all copies from $24.37! new only from $24.37!
13 view cover	The Best of Duke-Peacock Blues (1992) more music like this by Various Artists Interesting collection of sides from this seminal Texas label. Highlights includes tracks by Bobby Bland ("Stormy Monday," "Turn On Your Lovelight"), Otis Rush ("Homework"), Junior Parker "Driving Wheel"), and Larry Davis' original version of "Texas Flood," made popular to a new audience by Stevie Ray Vaughan. Cub Koda, All Music Guide see all copies from $5.25!
14 view cover	Best of the Blues, Vol. 1 [Cema] (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Oddball budget set of blues by some fairly big names. Kicking off with the original studio recording of B.B. King's "Everyday I Have the Blues," the set also includes sides from Muddy Waters (a live recording of "Rock Me"), Charles Brown, Lightnin' Hopkins, T-Bone Walker, Albert Collins, John Lee Hooker, Roy Brown, and others. The title may be ... see all copies from $4.98! new only from $4.98!
15 view cover	Sweet Home Blues (2000) more music like this by Various Artists As the title suggests, Sweet Home Blues gathers nine blues classics into a value-priced CD, including: Buddy Guy's "First Time I Met The Blues," Howlin' Wolf's "The Red Rooster," B.B. King's "Rock Me Baby," and Koko Taylor's "Wang Dang Doodle." Albert Collins' "Frostbite" and Junior Parker's "Sweet Home Chicago" are some of the other worthwhile ... see all copies from $4.98! new only from $4.98!
16 view cover	The Sun Story [Rhino] (1987) more music like this by Various Artists Summing up the history of one of America's most important record labels in 20 songs is a task that borders on the impossible, and The Sun Story is hardly the final or definitive word on the subject of Sam Phillips and the nearly seismic impact his label wrought on popular music. While Sun Records is usually cited for (a) giving birth to rock & ... see all copies from $11.03! new only from $11.03!
17 view cover	Duke-Peacock's Greatest Hits (1992) more music like this by Various Artists Duke and Peacock were Houston-based blues and R&B labels that released quite a string of popular and influential records in the '50s and '60s. Don Robey founded Peacock in 1949 and brought in the successful but struggling Duke label in 1953. It isn't mentioned in the title of the disc but included also are some tunes released on Robey's teenage ... see all copies from $10.00!
18 view cover	Junior's Blues: The Duke Recordings, Vol. 1 (1992) more music like this by Little Junior Parker After the non-success of "Mystery Train" on the R&B charts, Parker jumped contract and signed with Don Robey's Houston-based Duke Records. With his smooth vocal approach, Parker clearly envisioned himself as the next Roy or Charles Brown. But from the evidence of these early sides, it's clear that Robey wanted to piggyback off the success of the ... see all copies from $62.49!
19 view cover	The Fifties: Juke Joint Blues (1987) more music like this by Various Artists This is a valuable look at some of the toughest Delta and West Coast blues sides issued by Modern Records in the 1950s. Bill Dahl, All Music Guide see all copies from $9.95!
20 view cover	Troubadours of Groove (1996) more music like this by Various Artists "The Troubadours" are not actually a group, but these are three groovemeisters who made important individual contributions to the soul-jazz and R&B-blues movements. The four Jimmy McGriff and four Richard "Groove" Holmes' organ combo numbers are good but far from essential tracks in their careers. Two Junior Parker numbers are the same, with ... see all copies from $1.99!
21 view cover	Stax: Superblues, Vol. 2: All-Time Classic Blues Hits (1991) more music like this by Various Artists More soul and R&B influences are heard on this volume than the first, though it's not a detriment. The 18 tracks include prize items by Guitar Slim, Lloyd Price, Lowell Fulson, Elmore James, and Sonny Boy Williamson, with some bluesy Southern soul by O.V. Wright and Johnnie Taylor. Also included are some little-anthologized gems, most notably Gene ... see all copies from $12.20! new only from $12.20!
22 view cover	Double Crossing Blues (1998) more music like this by Various Artists This compilation, made up of duets between various all-star blues artists, is an interesting idea that unfortunately doesn't deliver. The blues' most famous partnerships (Buddy Guy & Junior Wells, Shirley & Lee, Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee) are represented, along with a slew of one-off singles pairing Ella Fitzgerald with Louis Jordan, Big Mama ... see all copies from $2.75! new only from $2.75!
23 view cover	I'm So Satisfied: The Complete Mercury & Blue Rock Recordings (1998) more music like this by Junior Parker This is not Junior Parker's best material, nor is it his best-known. That said, it's pretty good all the same. Parker was on Mercury, then their subsidiary, Blue Rock, in the second half of the '60s, and throughout he recorded elegant but rollicking soul-blues -- very similar to what he did at Duke, but a little smoother, with a little heavier ... see all copies from $37.52!
24 view cover	Beyond Nashville: The Twisted Heart of Country Music (2001) more music like this by Various Artists The rise of the so-called "No Depression" (named after the Carter Family song) alternative country movement in the 1990s coincided with commercial country's hard left turn into pop/rock territory. Less a reaction to the slick "hat acts" (Garth Brooks, Tim McGraw, et al.) than an attempt to keep country's historical line pure and direct, the ... see all copies from $3.60!
25 view cover	Road Trip Blues (2000) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $6.49! new only from $6.49!
