2	Blues Masters, Vol. 8: Mississippi Delta Blues (1993) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The title for this volume is a bit of a misnomer. While there is easily half a compilation's worth of authentic acoustic material here (including classics by Tommy Johnson, Charley Patton, Willie Brown, and Robert Johnson), the inclusion of tracks by B.B. and Albert King and recorded in Chicago sides by Howlin' Wolf, Elmore James and Robert ... see all copies from $8.71! new only from $8.71!
3	American Roots Music [Box Set] (2001) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The successes of the breakthrough soundtrack from the film O Brother Where Art Thou? and the in-depth PBS television series Ken Burns' Jazz seem to have combined in the 2001 production of Palm Pictures' four-part TV series American Roots Music. The series touches on the development of the distinctly American styles of traditional folk, country, ... see all copies from $27.85! new only from $35.36!
4	Heroes of the Blues: The Very Best of Son House (2003) more music like this by Son House add to wishlist This collection spotlights the great Delta bluesman Son House at three distinct points in his life. Included here are three of his 78s issued in the 1930s by Paramount Records, several of the Library of Congress field recordings done by Alan Lomax in 1941-1942, and a trio of 1960s rediscovery concert pieces, including a riveting version of Blind ... see all copies from $8.21! new only from $8.21!
5	Complete Recorded Works of Son House & the Great Delta Blues Singers (1990) more music like this by Son House add to wishlist Complete Recorded Works of Son House & The Great Delta Blues Singers isn't entirely devoted to Son House -- there are cuts by several other musicians, including Willie Brown, Garfield Akers, Rube Lacey and Joe Calicott -- but this disc, which contains a complete 1930 session, is the best place to get his earliest songs ("My Black Mama," "Preachin' ... see all copies from $11.01! new only from $11.01!
6	Father of the Delta Blues: The Complete 1965 Sessions (1992) more music like this by Son House add to wishlist After being rediscovered by the folk-blues community in the early '60s, Son House rose to the occasion and recorded this magnificent set of performances. Allowed to stretch out past the shorter running time of the original 78s, House turns in wonderful, steaming performances of some of his best-known material. On some tracks, House is supplemented ... see all copies from $15.18! new only from $15.18!
7	The Rough Guide to Delta Blues (2002) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist A fantastic compilation that really does span the length of Mississippi Delta blues, from the early days of the Mississippi Sheiks and Charley Patton (with the classic "High Water Everywhere Part One") through to the modern but equally rooted sounds of Asie Payton, R.L. Burnside, and the late Junior Kimbrough. And it's every bit as thorough in ... see all copies from $9.97! new only from $10.11!
8	Legends of the Blues, Vol. 1 (1991) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This CD serves as a perfect introduction to pre-war blues for the novice since it contains fine examples of the music of 20 blues artists: Bessie Smith, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Mississippi John Hurt, Blind Willie Johnson, Bo Carter, Blind Willie McTell, Lonnie Johnson, Charley Patton, Leroy Carr, Josh White, Leadbelly, Peetie Wheatstraw, Robert ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $12.88!
9	Blues Masters, Vol. 7: Blues Revival (1993) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist It's hard to believe from the vantage point of a period when blues songs are used for network television commercials, but it wasn't so long ago that the blues was, though hardly in danger of extinction, certainly limited to a pretty specialized audience. The blues revival of the early '60s brought the music back into the spotlight through its ... see all copies from $12.30!
10	Masters of the Delta Blues: The Friends of Charlie Patton (1991) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist As the most popular blues craftsman of the Mississippi Delta, Charley Patton had a resounding influence on many of the musicians that passed through the region during the '20s and '30s. Following his initial session for Paramount in 1929, he recommended both Son House and Willie Brown, as well as his mistress Louise Johnson and common-law wife ... see all copies from $15.65! new only from $15.65!

13	The Slide Guitar: Bottles, Knives, & Steel, Vol. 1 (1991) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This CD is a hodgepodge sampling of blues records featuring mostly pre-war slide guitarists ranging from the simplicity of Barbecue Bob (who was much better-known as a pianist) and Sylvester Weaver to the sophistication of Blind Willie McTell (backing Ruth Willis on "Experience Blues") and Tampa Red. Among the highlights are Blind Willie Johnson's ... see all copies from $4.59! new only from $4.59!
14	Broke, Black and Blue [Box] (1999) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This four-disc, 100-track box set differs from most blues compendiums on a number of fronts. For openers, it focuses on the first 20 years of blues recordings, from 1924's "Barrelhouse Blues" by Ed Andrews to 1946's "Rhythm Mama" by Johnny Temple. Second, even though there are entries from artists like Blind Blake, Mississippi John Hurt, Son House ... see all copies from $27.38! new only from $27.38!

The stopping-off points in ... see all copies from $1.99!
