3	The Best of the Blues [MCA Special Products] (1990) more music like this by Various Artists Certainly, a single-disc budget-line collection such as MCA Special Products' Best of the Blues can't live up to its title, but those expecting such a disc to be a definitive introduction to such a rich idiom as the blues are simply deluding themselves. Think of the compilation as an affordable sampler of one label's vaults, and you'll be on the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.49!
4	The Alligator Records 20th Anniversary Collection (1991) more music like this by Various Artists This solid 2-disc compilation celebrates two decades of this label's existence. There are many worthwhile tracks but few surprises. Bill Dahl, All Music Guide see all copies from $7.99! new only from $16.03!
5	Big Blues: Blues Music for Kids (1996) more music like this by Various Artists As the title suggests, Big Blues: Blues Music for Kids features bluesy yet kid-friendly songs like Taj Mahal's "Fishin' Blues" and "Funky Bluesy ABCs," Maria Muldaur's "Waggy Tailed Dog," and Catfish Hodge's "Pancake Man." Sonny Terry's "Pick a Bale O' Cotton," Jimmy Witherspoon's "There Wouldn't Be a Me," and B.B. King's "Rainy Day Blues" are ... see all copies from $3.24! new only from $8.98!
6	Sonny & Brownie at Sugar Hill (1961) more music like this by Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee Sonny & Brownie at Sugar Hill is a live album recorded at the famous San Francisco nightclub.

Their interplay is always a joy to hear, ... see all copies from $7.18! new only from $10.38!
7	Whoopin' (1984) more music like this by Sonny Terry with Johnny Winter& Willie Dixon The textbook charge usually levelled against Alligator sessions are that they're sanitized. You couldn't lodge that one against this set with a straight face; if anything, somebody turned Sonny Terry loose. It didn't hurt that Johnny Winter was around on guitar and piano, playing gritty blues with a passion. It didn't help that Terry didn't put ... see all copies from $7.98! new only from $11.21!
8	The Folkways Years, 1944-1963 (1991) more music like this by Sonny Terry While he's best known as guitarist Brownie McGhee's longtime partner, harmonica ace and vocalist Sonny Terry made many excellent recordings as a solo act, and also recorded with Blind Boy Fuller and others. The 17 songs on this anthology include Terry playing with McGhee's brother Sticks, Pete Seeger, and others, as well as several featuring Terry ... see all copies from $10.09! new only from $15.49!
9	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!
10	Sonny & Brownie (1973) more music like this by Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee In a way, this is the veteran duo's version of Fathers and Sons, a meeting of old black bluesmen with young white admirers that Muddy Waters and Otis Spann cut with Mike Bloomfield and Paul Butterfield. John Mayall and John Hammond, Jr. are among the "youngsters" on this powerful statement that includes a definitive version of Randy Newman's ... see all copies from $3.89!
11 view cover	Treasury of Library of Congress Field Recordings (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Thirty Library of Congress field recordings from 1933 to 1946, compiled and thoroughly annotated by Stephen Wade. There are many Library of Congress collections, but the diversity of performances on this disc might make one of the better selections for someone who's interested enough in folkloric recordings to have just a few, as opposed to an ... see all copies from $10.87! new only from $15.19!
12 view cover	Backwater Blues (1999) more music like this by Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee Songs of whiskey, women, and money -- nothing was more important to the repertoire of this classic acoustic blues duo. Good relations on stage were not, but during this 18-tune club date at Sugar Hill in San Francisco, Terry and McGhee are in good spirits. The former's fingerpicking, good-time guitar strummin', and even-keeled singing, joined by ... see all copies from $10.35! new only from $10.35!
13 view cover	An Introduction to Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee (2006) more music like this by Sonny Terry & Brownie McGee Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee made their first recording together in 1941, and became the longest-running blues duo in memory, stringing out nearly 40 years of recordings and gigs until their gradually emerging distaste for each other finally proved insurmountable and brought an end to the musical partnership. Although they recorded in a ... see all copies from $11.14! new only from $11.14!
14 view cover	Good Time Blues: Harmonicas, Kazoos, Washboards & Cow-Bells (1991) more music like this by Various Artists This CD sampler largely lives up to its name. Subtitled "Harmonicas, Kazoos, Washboards & Cow-Bells," the collection consists of goodtime blues performed by an assortment of artists. Many of the bands feature washboards, but a kazoo only pops up on one song. Actually, it is the harmonica players (particularly Will Shade, Buddy Moss, Robert Lee ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $17.79!
15 view cover	Smithsonian Folkways American Roots Collection (1996) more music like this by var art This assemblage of blues, bluegrass, mountain ballads, topical songs, and jazz shows the wide range of American vernacular music, and Smithsonian Folkways' commitment to it.

17 view cover	Live at the New Penelope Cafe (1997) more music like this by Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee It sometimes seems like there are about 90 live albums by Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, all from the 1960s. This one, taped at a show in Montreal in 1967, stands out from the rest because the duo are in unusually lively form, and its having been recorded in a more raw than usual manner. As with other releases in this Canadian-taped series by ... see all copies from $11.86! new only from $11.86!
18 view cover	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 $10.76! new only from $10.76!
19 view cover	Folkways: The Original Vision (1988) more music like this by Various Artists Folkways: The Original Vision has served to celebrate important dates for Smithsonian Folkways more than once. First off, the compilation of Woody Guthrie and Leadbelly songs was used to announce the label's new incarnation -- from Moses Asch's Folkways to the nonprofit Smithsonian Folkways -- in 1989, and once again, in 2005, with six bonus cuts ... see all copies from $9.95! new only from $9.95!
20 view cover	Sonny Terry & His Mouth Harp (1999) more music like this by Sonny Terry This rare December 1953 session (reissued on CD in 1999) was unusual for Terry in that his guitar accompanist was not Brownie McGhee, but Alec Seward, who had previously recorded as Guitar Slim in a duo with "Fat Boy" Hayes (aka Jelly Belly). It's unusual only in the personnel, however. It sounds like typical Sonny Terry, as he works his way ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $7.74!

24 view cover	Walk On (1977) more music like this by Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee Although Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee had a stormy, tempestuous relationship at times, they recorded more than their share of great Piedmont blues during their many years as a duo. Terry and McGhee parted company in the mid-'70s, but Walk On (which Just a Memory/Justin Time reissued on CD in 2005) finds the two of them reunited on-stage at the ... see all copies from $11.66! new only from $11.66!
25 view cover	Brownie McGhee & Sonny Terry at the 2nd Fret (1963) more music like this by Brownie McGhee & Sonny Terry Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee were the ultimate blues duo; McGhee's stylized singing and light, flickering guitar was wonderfully contrasted by Terry's sweeping, whirling harmonica solos and intense, country-tinged singing. They were in great form during the ten tunes featured on this live date. Sometimes, as on "Custard Pie" or "Barking Bull Dog," ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $4.99!
