1	Live at Ann Arbor & In Chicago (1982) more music like this by Magic Sam add to wishlist While the sound quality leaves something to be desired, fans of electric Chicago blues should hear Magic Sam live. Recorded at two separate locations, the Alex Club in Chicago in 1963 and 1964 and the Ann Arbor Blues and Jazz Festival in 1969, this disc captures the raw energy not only of the musicians, but the crowds' tremendous response to them. ... see all copies from $11.58! new only from $11.58!
2	Black Magic (1968) more music like this by Magic Sam Blues Band add to wishlist This album's color cover photo is an action shot, showing Magic Sam in the process of choking and bending his strings, a good hike up the fretboard. It isn't clear exactly what he is playing from the picture, although that certainly didn't stop dozens of pimply hippie guitar players from trying to figure it out. In the meantime, the record goes on ... see all copies from $9.21! new only from $9.21!
3	Give Me Time (1991) more music like this by Magic Sam add to wishlist These intimate home tapes from Magic Sam were documented a year before his untimely passing in 1969. Sam -- born Samuel Maghett in the Delta of Mississippi -- became one of the unquestionable originals and seminal contributors to the Chicago Westside blues scene in the late 1950s and 1960s. As this collection aptly demonstrates, he is at the top ... see all copies from $10.80! new only from $10.80!
4	Rockin' Wild in Chicago (2002) more music like this by Magic Sam add to wishlist Back in the '60s and '70s -- before bootleggers had the generally higher standards that they have today -- it wasn't uncommon to hear a collector defending a bootleg LP despite its inferior sound quality. The argument was usually something along the lines of, "Yes, the sound is poor, but I still recommend this Led Zeppelin bootleg because Jimmy ... see all copies from $11.58! new only from $11.58!
5	Sweet Home Chicago [Delmark] (1988) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Solid '60s sides by Magic Sam, Eddie Shaw, Luther Allison, Louis Myers. ~ Bill Dahl, All Music Guide see all copies from $15.37! new only from $15.37!
6	Blues Masters, Vol. 2: Postwar Chicago Blues (1992) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Excellent 18 track compendium of all the major movers and shakers who helped shape the Chicago blues scene in the 50s. Everyone is well represented here, and major stars like Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf stand next to behind-the-scenes geniuses like Earl Hooker and Jody Williams for an interesting, and accurate, blend. ~ Cub Koda, All Music Guide see all copies from $16.47!
7	The Late Great Magic Sam (1984) more music like this by Magic Sam's Blues Band add to wishlist White guy masquerading as Magic Sam. ~ Cub Koda, All Music Guide see all copies from $9.21! new only from $9.21!
8	Chicago Blues Masters [Delta] (1994) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
9	The Cobra Records Story (1993) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist If the 50 tracks on this double-CD box sound an awful lot like they could have come off of any of MCA's various Chess boxes -- but especially the Willie Dixon volume -- it's no accident. Cobra Records was an upstart Chicago-based label that existed for a little over three years at the end of the 1950s, founded by Eli Toscano and Willie Dixon as ... see all copies from $34.99! new only from $45.99!
10	Modern Blues: Boogie to Fusion, The Gold Collection (1999) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
11	An Introduction to Magic Sam (2007) more music like this by Magic Sam add to wishlist Magic Sam waxed some fantastic sides in his tragically short career, and they've been anthologized many different ways. An Introduction to Magic Sam is Fuel 2000's (newest) version, and collects tracks from his early years recording for the Cobra and Chief labels with an extra mid-'60s Crash single thrown in for good measure. It's a solid ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $12.33!
12	The Magic Sam Legacy (1989) more music like this by Magic Sam add to wishlist The 13 tracks on Magic Sam Legacy (1997) are culled from material initially discarded from his two Delmark studio LPs West Side Soul (1967) and Black Magic (1968). The principal caveat being the John Lee Hooker inspired "I Feel So Good" -- liberally copping Hooker's "Boogie Chillun" -- and the spirited instrumental "Lookin' Good," both of which ... see all copies from $7.99! new only from $9.33!
13	Blues Guitar Greats [Delmark] (1996) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This 17-track collection runs from 1961 to 1995, a good 30-plus years of the label's existence. As such, it covers just about every strain of blues guitar that has ever appeared on Delmark. With standout tracks from Big Joe Williams, Magic Sam (an unreleased live track from 1968), Luther Allison, J.B. Hutto, Robert Jr. Lockwood, Junior Wells with ... see all copies from $14.24! new only from $14.24!
14	Chicago Blues [Delta Box] (1998) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $5.98! new only from $5.98!
15	National Geographic: Destination Chicago (2001) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist A collection of the electric blues from the Windy City. These ones are culled entirely from the old Alligator and Delmark archives (surprisingly not taking from the Chess archives). This avoidance of Chess aside, there's some noteworthy stuff in here. All of the major players from the Chicago scene are represented here, from the opening of the ... see all copies from $17.08! new only from $17.08!
16	With a Feeling 57-67: The Cobra, Chief & Crash Recordings (2001) more music like this by Magic Sam add to wishlist This set basically apes the Fuel 2000 set issued in 2001 and the Paula set from 1999 but adds a few tracks -- six to be exact -- from early 1967, making it identical to the P-Vine collection from Japan released in 2003. In other words, these recordings that Magic Sam made between the years of 1956-1967 are pure, unadulterated Chicago blues gold. ... see all copies from $11.99! new only from $11.99!
17	Delmark 40th Anniversary Jazz (1993) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Every decade, countless indie labels come and go. Some beat the odds and prosper; others, for all their good intentions, end up filing for bankruptcy. Thankfully, Delmark has been among the survivors. The Chicago-based jazz and blues indie (originally based in St. Louis) was founded by Bob Koester in 1953 and was still going strong when the 21st ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $32.36!
18	The Greatest Blues Album of All Time, Vol. 2 (2000) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The Greatest Blues Album of All Time, Vol. 2 is an average collection of 16 tracks from both electric and acoustic blues heroes, including John Lee Hooker, Jimmy Reed, Robert Johnson, Big Bill Broonzy, and even Billie Holiday. While the sound quality tends to be muddy, this is a decent blues primer for the novice at a bargain-bin price. ~ Al ... see all copies from $2.75! new only from $2.75!
19	The Essential Blues, Vol. 2 (1996) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $10.93!
20	The Essential Magic Sam: The Cobra and Chief Recordings 1957-1961 (2001) more music like this by Magic Sam add to wishlist Fuel 2000's Essential Magic Sam: The Cobra and Chief Recordings 1957-1961 is the latest, best-sounding repackaging of this material. If you already have this material elsewhere in your collection (and given the number of times it's come out in various incarnations, you very well may), you don't need to replace your previous disc, but if you're ... see all copies from $21.49!
21	The Greatest Blues Album of All Time, Vol. 1 (2000) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The Greatest Blues Album of All Time, Vol. 1 is an average collection of 16 tracks from both electric and acoustic blues heroes, including John Lee Hooker, Jimmy Reed, Robert Johnson, Bessie Smith, Big Bill Broonzy, and even Billie Holiday. While the sound quality tends to be muddy, this is a decent blues primer for the novice at a bargain-bin ... see all copies from $4.19! new only from $6.60!
22	Life, Times & Music Series: Electric Blues (1996) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $3.63! new only from $8.50!
23	The Incredible Electric Blues Guitar Album (2000) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $4.99!
24	Evidence Blues Sampler: Five (1996) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The fifth Evidence Blues Sampler continues the tradition of mixing and matching Evidence's current releases, this time circa 1996. This does not mean that the collection is devoted to contemporary recordings. Instead, it gives a good blend of the label's new(ish) recordings and reissues. This can result in a little bit of a schizophrenic feel, but ... see all copies from $7.57! new only from $7.57!
25	The Blues Box [Laserlight] (1994) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Here are five discs, originally issued separately on the label, boxed up together as sort of a "deluxe" budget set. All of the material is licensed from the Delmark label and, as such, it is all top-notch, with classic performances throughout. Chicago Blues Bash features tracks from Junior Wells, Big Joe Williams, J.B. Hutto, and Jimmy Johnson, ... see all copies from $51.74! new only from $51.74!
