2	G.I. Jukebox: Songs from World War II (1998) more music like this by Various Artists G.I.

10	Evidence Blues Sampler (1992) more music like this by Various Artists Evidence's blues reissue campaign has been exhaustive and diverse in its artistic and stylistic range, something that is reflected in this 15-cut sampler culled from various sessions.

12 view cover	G.I. Jive (1996) more music like this by Louis Jordan Nearly all of the music on this European LP has since been reissued on CD, but it did give listeners a fine sampling of the lesser-known recordings of Louis Jordan's Tympani Five.

16 view cover	What a Wonderful Christmas (1998) more music like this by Louis Armstrong Although this Christmas compilation is credited to "Louis Armstrong & Friends," it's really more aptly categorized as a various artists anthology, since Armstrong only has six of the fourteen tracks.

22 view cover	Jivin' with Jordan [Proper Box] (2002) more music like this by Louis Jordan This whopping 81-cut, four-disc box collects the vast majority of master takes Louis Jordan & His Tympani Five recorded for Decca in the 1940s.

23 view cover	Jingle Blues (1998) more music like this by Various Artists House of Blues' Jingle Blues is a thoroughly entertaining collection of Christmas blues tunes.

24 view cover	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 ... see all copies from $3.85! new only from $3.85!
