1	Newport Folk Festival: Best of the Blues 1959-1968 (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Newport Folk Festival: Best of the Blues 1959-1968 presents live performances from many of the top blues players of the era. From Skip James to Mance Lipscomb to Memphis Slim, these musicians play mostly acoustic blues before an appreciative audience. From the first disc, Mississippi John Hurt's six-song set is a standout. Piedmont fingerpicking ... see all copies from $12.99! new only from $20.57!
2	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 $61.28! new only from $61.28!

7	Jazz in Paris: Aux Trois Mailletz (1993) more music like this by Memphis Slim & Willie Dixon Although this CD by pianist Memphis Slim and bassist Willie Dixon is marketed as a part of Verve's Jazz in Paris reissue series, it is, of course, a blues date, with a fair amount of boogie-woogie. The two veterans, who had worked together previously, are joined by drummer Phillipe Combelle during the two 1962 sessions recorded at Les Trois ... see all copies from $6.27! new only from $7.36!
8	All Kinds of Blues (1963) more music like this by Memphis Slim This early-'60s date was the second -- and one of the best -- of Memphis Slim's many top-notch Bluesville recordings. Featuring Slim accompanying himself on the piano, All Kinds of Blues is a vintage set of mellow yet deep blues by one of the music's most urbane performers. Whether reveling in his considerable boogie-woogie chops ("Three-in-One ... see all copies from $10.35! new only from $10.35!

10	The Folkways Years: 1959-1973 (2000) more music like this by Memphis Slim These 21 tracks, selected from the recordings Memphis Slim did for Folkways, tend to be in solo piano or sparsely accompanied arrangements, as one would figure since Folkways was a traditionally oriented label. Still, it doesn't sound like a forced or awkward attempt to steer the pianist toward an outdated approach. It's just on the quiet and ... see all copies from $6.99! new only from $14.78!

12 view cover	Live at the Hot Club (1994) more music like this by Memphis Slim Recorded live in 1980 in Paris, this is not the Memphis Slim that you want for your collection, unless you're the type that has to have everything in a discography just because it's there. Slim is actually in decent enough form. The problems are that his only accompanist is a clunky drummer, and that the fidelity is fairly funky (although not ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $4.35!
13 view cover	I'll Just Keep on Singin' the Blues (1981) more music like this by Memphis Slim I'll Just Keep on Singin' the Blues was recorded in 1961 in Chicago just before pianist Memphis Slim was to embark on a European tour and take up permanent residence there. Backed by members of his exciting '50s band the House Rockers (including Matt "Guitar" Murphy), it's a lost masterpiece. Slim and his band are in great form on this set of ... see all copies from $10.76! new only from $10.76!

16 view cover	Steady Rolling Blues (1961) more music like this by Memphis Slim Like Slim's other Bluesville work, this is a characteristic and very consistent effort, though not what you would single out as the cream of his recorded work. He varies the program between originals and covers of standards like "Mean Mistreatin' Mama," "Rock Me Baby," and "Goin' Down Slow," providing a touch of unpredictability by switching from ... see all copies from $3.80! new only from $3.80!
17 view cover	Midnight Blues [Madacy] (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Midnight Blues delivers just what the title promises: a collection of some of the blues' most memorable songs and artists, including Lightnin' Hopkins' "Lonesome Dog Blues," Leadbelly's "Goodnight Irene," Memphis Slim's "Cold Blooded Woman," and B.B. King's "Catfish Blues." Big Joe Williams' "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out," Charles ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $3.99!

19 view cover	Blue Memphis Suite [Bonus Tracks] (2006) more music like this by Memphis Slim Teamed with guitarist Peter Green and a well-oiled ensemble of British musicians including John Paul Jones on Hammond organ, Memphis Slim cooked up The Blue Memphis Suite in a London studio at four sessions during June of 1970. A theatrically conceived autobiographical revue, this album feels at first like a sort of audio pantomime as the pianist ... see all copies from $12.48! new only from $12.48!

24 view cover	The Sonet Blues Story (2006) more music like this by Memphis Slim Like many of the black blues and jazz musicians of his generation, Memphis Slim found both an audience and a home in Europe for the last 20-plus years of his life, basing himself in Paris beginning in 1962 and remaining there until his death in 1988. In that span he recorded an astounding 50 or so albums, not including the various recordings of ... see all copies from $10.35! new only from $10.35!
