1	His Best [MCA] (1997) more music like this by Sonny Boy Williamson While some hardliners will point to his early 1950s Trumpet recordings as his most undiluted work, Sonny Boy's tenure at Chess Records was his longest and most successful and therefore deserves first look for the novice coming to this remarkable bluesman at ground level. This 20-track collection takes 17 tracks from the excellent two-disc ... see all copies from $5.42! new only from $5.42!
2	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!
3	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 $54.90!
4	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!
5	Dirty Blues (2000) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $11.68! new only from $11.68!
6	King Biscuit Time (1989) more music like this by Sonny Boy Williamson II King Biscuit Time features Sonny Boy's early Trumpet sides from 1951. The original "Eyesight to the Blind," "Nine Below Zero" and "Mighty Long Time" are Sonny Boy at his very best. Added bonuses include Williamson backing Elmore James on his original recording of "Dust My Broom" and a live KFFA broadcast from 1965. Cub Koda, All Music Guide see all copies from $15.33! new only from $15.33!
7	The Real Folk Blues/More Real Folk Blues (2002) more music like this by Sonny Boy Williamson Like other entries in the Chess Real Folk Blues series, Sonny Boy Williamson's The Real Folk Blues and More Real Folk Blues (here combined onto one CD) were not really folk, and not really regular albums. Rather, they were somewhat arbitrarily chosen compilations, titled to appeal to the crowd that had gotten turned onto the blues during the 1960s ... see all copies from $13.34! new only from $13.34!
8	Blues Masters, Vol. 8: Mississippi Delta Blues (1993) more music like this by Various Artists 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 $6.00! new only from $8.36!
9	Blues Masters, Vol. 16: More Harmonica Classics (1998) more music like this by Various Artists With such a wealth of great harmonica blues out there, and with such an outstanding track record on Rhino's part in general when it comes to historical compilations, it's no surprise that their second anthology of harmonica blues is just as good as the first. There are fine cuts by many big guns here, including Little Walter, both Sonny Boy ... see all copies from $7.63! new only from $11.11!
10	Good Morning Little Schoolgirl (2004) more music like this by Sonny Boy Williamson see all copies from $10.05! new only from $10.05!
11 view cover	The Original Sonny Boy Williamson, Vol. 1 (2007) more music like this by Sonny Boy Williamson JSP is a reissue label sent by angels to alleviate suffering and dispel ignorance in the world. We know this because JSP has done a fantastic job of compiling remastered blues, jazz, gospel, country, Cajun and western swing recordings in reasonably priced four-CD sets packed with loads of discographical information and insightful liner notes. ... see all copies from $26.02! new only from $26.02!
12 view cover	Blue Yule: Christmas Blues and R&B Classics (1991) more music like this by Various Artists A stellar 18-song compilation with most tracks not duplicated on other in-print collections.

13 view cover	The Essential Blues [House of Blues] (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Essential Blues is an attempt to trace the evolution of the music from the Mississippi Delta to Chicago and other modern, urban cities. It does a fairly good job in providing a brief history, but the main strength of the collection simply comes from the music. Featuring cuts from Lightnin' Hopkins, Howlin' Wolf, B.B. King, Slim Harpo, Junior ... see all copies from $6.98!
14 view cover	More Real Folk Blues (1967) more music like this by Sonny Boy Williamson II More good early-'60s Chess Recordings from Sonny Boy Williamson.

Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide see all copies from $39.40! new only from $39.40!
15 view cover	One Way Out (1968) more music like this by Sonny Boy Williamson II Although lacking the hilarious slice-of-life studio banter that makes its companion album Bummer Road so priceless, this is certainly a collection of terrific Chicago blues tracks as only Sonny Boy Williamson could do it. Like the Tennessee harmonica player with whom he shared a stage name, this Sonny Boy's music comes from the country blues ... see all copies from $18.92! new only from $43.47!
16 view cover	Smokin' Blues (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Smokin' Blues collects nine blues tracks from John Lee Hooker, Little Milton, Bobby Bland, and Little Walter at a budget price. B.B. King's "Into the Night," Muddy Waters' "Love Weapon," Etta James' "Next Door to the Blues," and Howlin' Wolf's "Three Hundred Pounds of Joy" are some of the highlights from this brief but undeniably affordable blues ... see all copies from $5.49! new only from $5.49!

19 view cover	Blowin' the Blues [Universal Special Products] (2001) more music like this by Various Artists The Universal Special Products compilation Blowin' the Blues does a fair job of introducing ten of the best-known harmonica wizards of the 20th century, with considerable space given to the masters of Chicago blues: Sonny Boy Williamson, James Cotton, Little Walter, Howlin' Wolf, and Junior Wells. Also included are legendary cuts by Slim Harpo ( ... see all copies from $5.49! new only from $5.49!

21 view cover	The Real Folk Blues (1965) more music like this by Sonny Boy Williamson Part of Chess' long line of introductory blues compilations, Sonny Boy Williamson's Real Folk Blues keeps up the high standard with another solid batch of classic Chicago blues. Mostly taken from his last years in the first half of the '60s, the 12 cuts here represent some of the best of Williamson's juke joint and dancefloor-friendly mix. Helping ... see all copies from $15.00! new only from $27.64!
22 view cover	The Essential [Classic Blues] (2001) more music like this by Sonny Boy Williamson see all copies from $10.78!
23 view cover	Chess Blues-Rock Songbook: The Classic Originals (1997) more music like this by Various Artists While Chess Records' legacy as a dominating and shaping force on rock & roll is well chronicled, you don't really get the full range of it until you're ultimately confronted with the music itself. This two-disc, 36-track compilation drives that point home with an almost numbing intensity. Whether they're blues tunes that have been covered so many ... see all copies from $23.68!
24 view cover	Encore Collection (2005) more music like this by Sonny Boy Williamson/The Blues Harp Heroes The first disc of Fuel 2000's Sonny Boy Williamson Encore Collection features the harmonica great performing live in the early '60s with the Yardbirds and the Animals during a European tour. These tracks are historically significant for fans of those particular bands more so than Rice Miller's performance on them. On the other hand, the second ... see all copies from $17.06! new only from $17.06!
25 view cover	The Roots of Taj Mahal (2000) more music like this by Various Artists An interesting concept to say the least, here's an exemplary collection of blues tunes all covered by Taj Mahal at one point or another. But here's the original versions of classics by Robert Johnson, Blind Willie Johnson, Blind Willie McTell, Leadbelly, Sleepy John Estes, Son House, Washboard Sam, Sonny Boy Williamson, and Blind Boy Fuller and ... see all copies from $14.56! new only from $14.56!
