1	Old School (2007) more music like this by Koko Taylor Old School is Koko Taylor's first new album in seven years, and after a series of health issues that sidelined her for a while, it could be viewed as a comeback of sorts, but if so, there aren't any signs of rust here. She still belts out her trademark Chicago blues like she always has, sidestepping any 21st century recording tricks for a ... see all copies from $10.99! new only from $16.03!
2	Blues Deluxe (1989) more music like this by Various Artists A 1989 reissue, this budget CD (only 39 minutes long) was recorded live at the 1980 Chicagofest. Included is Muddy Waters, Koko Taylor, Willie Dixon, and three others. Niles J. Frantz, All Music Guide see all copies from $4.28! new only from $4.28!
3	Force of Nature (1993) more music like this by Koko Taylor A solid contemporary blues album that ranges from Koko Taylor's own "Spellbound" and "Put the Pot On," a rendition of Toussaint McCall's tender soul lament "Nothing Takes the Place of You," and a saucy revival of the old Ike & Tina Turner R&B gem "If I Can't Be First." Gene Barge once again penned the horn charts, Carey Bell contributes his usual ... see all copies from $4.95! new only from $14.83!
4	Pure Blues (2001) more music like this by Various Artists The "pure" in the Pure series initially suggested the unadulterated, soothing dulcet tones of new age in the Pure Moods discs, but as the series took off, Universal Music realized they had a real marketable brand name here, so they decided to use it for different genres. The one thing that all the collections shared was that they were exceptional ... see all copies from $13.34! new only from $13.34!
5	Live from Chicago (1987) more music like this by Koko Taylor Koko belts out soul songs with fury and feeds off a wild crowd. Bil Carpenter, All Music Guide see all copies from $7.98! new only from $15.59!
6	Blues Masters, Vol. 9: Postmodern Blues (1993) more music like this by Various Artists Blues Masters, Vol. 9: Postmodern Blues is a wonderful compendium of artists and styles illustrating the coming of blues into the mainstream. This volume features representative tracks by B.B. King, Albert Collins, Albert King, George Thorogood, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Johnny Winter, and the Fabulous Thunderbirds. The modern sound at its best, and ... see all copies from $11.11! new only from $11.11!
7	Jump for Joy (1990) more music like this by Koko Taylor A slightly slicker Koko Taylor than we've generally been accustomed to, with nice horn arrangements by Gene Barge that frame the blues queen's growl effectively. A Taylor duet with Lonnie Brooks would normally be something to savor, but they're saddled here with "It's a Dirty Job," which is beneath both their statures. Still, Taylor wrote four of ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.21!
8	The Alligator Records 20th Anniversary Collection (1991) more music like this by Various Artists This solid 2-disc compilation celebrates two decades of this label's existence. There are many worthwhile tracks but few surprises. Bill Dahl, All Music Guide see all copies from $7.99! new only from $15.59!
9	Chess Blues (1992) more music like this by Various Artists Chess Blues is a superlative four-CD box set featuring important tracks by all the main stars of the label (Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson), as well as much previously unreleased material. A well-done retrospective of Chicago blues in its heyday, as recorded by America's greatest blues label, Chess. Cub Koda, All ... see all copies from $29.99! new only from $52.26!
10	Koko Taylor (1969) more music like this by Koko Taylor Straight digital reissue of Taylor's debut Chess album from 1969. Produced by Willie Dixon (who can intermittently be heard as a duet partner), the set is one of the strongest representations of the belter's Chess days available, with her immortal smash "Wang Dang Doodle," and the chunky "Twenty-Nine Ways," "I'm a Little Mixed Up," and "Don't Mess ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $30.58!
11 view cover	Deluxe Edition (2002) more music like this by Koko Taylor While some fans may argue that Koko Taylor's Chess material is slightly superior, there is no denying the power of these Alligator sessions. Deluxe Edition collects 15 of her very best tracks from her Alligator releases since 1975. Some of the high points include the many guest spots from Buddy Guy, B.B. King, Pinetop Perkins, Mighty Joe Young, ... see all copies from $16.03! new only from $16.03!
12 view cover	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. Besides giving the novice one great introduction to the label (as the ... see all copies from $7.95! new only from $15.86!
13 view cover	The Alligator Records 30th Anniversary Collection (2001) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $9.18! new only from $9.18!
14 view cover	The Chess Box (1989) more music like this by Willie Dixon This was the most unusual, and probably the most difficult to assemble of MCA's Chess Box series, mostly because of the unusual nature of Willie Dixon's contribution to Chess Records. To be sure, Dixon rates a place in the history of the label right alongside that of Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, and Little Walter, but his role was more subtle than ... see all copies from $22.26! new only from $22.26!
15 view cover	Genuine Houserockin' Music, Vol. 2 (1987) more music like this by Various Artists If not a definitive blues recording, this 16-track collection delivers on the promise of its title. James Cotton, Johnny Winter, Buddy Guy, Lonnie Mack, and the inestimable Professor Longhair rock the house like the veterans they are. The respected label also showcases relative newcomers, including Robert Cray and Little Charlie & the Nightcats, ... see all copies from $6.58! new only from $6.58!
16 view cover	The Best Blues Album in the World Ever (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Hardly. What is on this two-disc set is a real hodgepodge of new and old tracks by a variety of artists ranging from soul shouters and blues-rockers to the true originators. Disc one gets off to a sluggish start with tracks from Johnny Winter, the Boneshakers, Colin James, Larry McCray, the Kinsey Report, John Hammond, Duke Robillard, and Terry ... see all copies from $20.63! new only from $20.63!
17 view cover	The Alligator Records Christmas Collection (1992) more music like this by Various Artists This entertaining CD serves a dual purpose, introducing listeners to many of the blues artists who have recorded for Alligator and giving consumers a rare Christmas blues record. The performers include Koko Taylor, Kenny Neal, Lil' Ed & the Blues Imperials, Katie Webster (on a rollicking "Deck the Halls With Boogie Woogie"), William Clarke, ... see all copies from $7.95! new only from $14.57!
18 view cover	South Side Lady (1973) more music like this by Koko Taylor Cut during the period when she was between Chess and Alligator, this 15-song selection, cut in a French studio and live in the Netherlands in 1973, is a potent set that finds Koko Taylor ably backed by the Aces, guitarist Jimmy Rogers, and pianist Willie Mabon. Lots of familiar titles -- a live "Wang Dang Doodle," studio remakes of "I'm a Little ... see all copies from $11.34! new only from $11.34!
19 view cover	Royal Blue (2000) more music like this by Koko Taylor Royal Blue is the first Alligator release from Koko Taylor since 1993's Grammy nominated Force of Nature. This is a mainly up-tempo set with excellent support from several guest appearances by B.B. King, Johnny Johnson, Ken Saydak, and Kenny Wayne Shepherd who contributes some scorching guitar on the Melissa Ethridge-penned hit "Bring Me Some ... see all copies from $15.86! new only from $15.86!
20 view cover	The Earthshaker (1978) more music like this by Koko Taylor Koko Taylor's Alligator encore harbored a number of tunes that still pepper her set list to this day -- the grinding "I'm a Woman" and the party-down specials "Let the Good Times Roll" and "Hey Bartender." Her uncompromising slow blues "Please Don't Dog Me" and a sassy remake of Irma Thomas' "You Can Have My Husband" also stand out, as does the ... see all copies from $12.00! new only from $15.35!
21 view cover	I Got What It Takes (1975) more music like this by Koko Taylor The queen's first album for Alligator, and still one of her very best to date. A tasty combo sparked by guitarists Mighty Joe Young and Sammy Lawhorn and saxist Abb Locke provide sharp support as the clear-voiced Taylor belts Bobby Saxton's "Trying to Make a Living," and Magic Sam's "That's Why I'm Crying," her own "Honkey Tonkey" and "Voodoo ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $11.05!
22 view cover	Queen of the Blues (1975) more music like this by Koko Taylor Co-producer Bruce Iglauer anticipated a future trend by making this a set filled with cameos -- but the presence of Lonnie Brooks, James Cotton, Albert Collins, and Son Seals is entirely warranted and the contributions of each work quite well in the context of the whole. Taylor's gritty "I Cried like a Baby" and a snazzy remake of Ann Peebles' ... see all copies from $12.50! new only from $15.59!
23 view cover	Chess Blues Classics: 1957-1967 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists This second volume of a two-volume entry in MCA's Chess 50th Anniversary reissue series chronicles the second decade of blues classics produced by the landmark company. Although Chess' big four (Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, and Sonny Boy Williamson) are all finely represented, influential sides by Elmore James ("Madison Blues"), Otis ... see all copies from $8.66! new only from $8.66!
24 view cover	From the Heart of a Woman (1981) more music like this by Koko Taylor Another very credible outing, though Taylor's not quite convincing on the jazzily swinging "Sure Had a Wonderful Time Last Night." Far more suited to her raspy growl are her own "It Took a Long Time," a funky "Something Strange Is Going On," and Etta James's moving soul ballad "I'd Rather Go Blind" (beautifully complemented by Criss Johnson's ... see all copies from $12.00! new only from $16.37!
25 view cover	Basic Blues, Vol. 3 (1999) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $6.83! new only from $6.83!
