1	Down Home (1982) more music like this by Z.Z. Hill Down Home is one of the very few classic blues albums of the 1980s. Hill revitalized the genre among African-American listeners with his "Down Home Blues," which earned instant standard status. But the entire album is tremendously consistent, with the percolating R&B workouts "Givin' It Up for Your Love" and "Right Arm for Your Love" contrasting ... see all copies from $11.24! new only from $14.52!
2	Greatest Hits [Malaco] (1990) more music like this by Z.Z. Hill When he died in 1984 at the relatively young age of 48, Z.Z. Hill went down in history as a great blues singer. But he was also an excellent soul singer, and this 1990 CD reminds us that he had as much to do with earthy, gospel-drenched Southern soul as he did with B.B. King-influenced electric blues. Focusing on Hill's Malaco output, Greatest ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $15.07!
3	Z.Z. Hill (1981) more music like this by Z.Z. Hill The initial step in Hill's amazing rebirth as a contemporary blues star, courtesy of Jackson, Mississippi's Malaco Records and producers Tommy Couch and Wolf Stephenson. The vicious blues outings "Bump and Grind" and "Blue Monday" were the first salvos fired by Hill at the blues market, though much of the set -- "Please Don't Make Me (Do Something ... see all copies from $10.40! new only from $14.74!
4	I'm a Blues Man (1983) more music like this by Z.Z. Hill Fueled by more impressive material from the pens of Jackson, Johnson, and LaSalle, Hill was in an amazing groove during the years prior to his untimely demise, and the crack Malaco house band was certainly up to the task. Just like the title track ably demonstrated, Z.Z. Hill had indeed rechristened himself as a blues man of the first order. ... see all copies from $12.25! new only from $16.28!
5	Chitlin Circuit Soul! The Best of Today's Southern Blues (2001) more music like this by Various Artists This is the soul record people have been looking for for a long time, but may not have known it. Alongside the Stax/Volt and Motown compilations that keep selling, and every rarities collection from the soulful '50s and '60s that's issued in Europe or Japan and disappears upon release, exists a soul music every bit as vital and pure as those ... see all copies from $11.97! new only from $18.75!
6	The Brand New Z.Z. Hill [Bonus Tracks] (2003) more music like this by Z.Z. Hill This is a '70s Swamp Dogg-produced concept album. [Brand New Z.Z. Hill was reissued in 2003 with bonus tracks.] Richard Pack, All Music Guide see all copies from $11.54! new only from $11.54!
7	Southern Soul Duets (1998) more music like this by Various Artists This disc collects 11 of the grittiest Southern soul duets, including "Lover's Holiday" by Peggy Scott & Jo Jo Benson, "Just Keep on Loving Me" by Johnnie Taylor & Carla Thomas, "Please Don't Let Our Good Thing End" by Z.Z. Hill & Dorothy Moore, and "Ain't Nothin' Like the Lovin' We Got" by Shirley Scott & Bobby Womack. Keith Farley, All Music ... see all copies from $9.22! new only from $9.22!

10	Southern Soul Brothers [Waldoxy] (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Southern Soul Brothers collects 12 of the grittiest male soul standards around, including "Please Don't Make Me (Do Something Bad to You)" by Z.Z. Hill, "I Betcha Didn't Know That" by Frederick Knight, "I Forget to Be Your Lover" by William Bell and "Let's Straighten It Out" by Latimore.

Hill (1971, originally released on Mankind) and Friend -- by Z.Z. Hill on one compact disc. Gregory McIntosh, All Music Guide see all copies from $17.74! new only from $17.74!
12 view cover	Bluesmaster (1984) more music like this by Z.Z. Hill Issued the year he died, Bluesmaster boasted more competent soul-blues hybrids by the man who reenergized the blues idiom with his trademark growl. LaSalle's "You're Ruining My Bad Reputation," "Friday Is My Day" (written by legendary Malaco promo man Dave Clark), and a nice reading of Paul Kelly's slinky "Personally" rate with the standouts. ... see all copies from $10.40! new only from $14.74!

14 view cover	Blues Legends [Universal] (1995) more music like this by Various Artists It's hard to argue that most of the ten featured artists on MCA Special Products' Blues Legends are anything other than legendary. That doesn't mean that the featured cuts themselves are legendary, or even illustrate why these guys are legendary -- in fact, many of the tunes here aren't the artists' signature songs, and when the tunes are familiar ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!

16 view cover	Uptown Down South (1995) more music like this by Various Artists The title implies that these are recordings cut south of the Mason-Dixon Line, but with an uptown sound; the concept is flawed. Just as you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, if you use southern musicians and producers, the product is going to sound likewise. If Diana Ross used these same hookups, she would sound like Ann Sexton or Betty ... see all copies from $12.92! new only from $22.95!
17 view cover	Cheatin' Is Risky Business (1997) more music like this by Various Artists This 12-song blues-based compilation comes exactly as advertised: these are all songs about infidelity and getting a piece of action on the down low while doing your man or woman wrong. Some of the songs were bona fide chart-toppers during their heyday (such as Johnnie Taylor's classic "Who's Making Love?"), while others have remained steadfast ... see all copies from $7.69! new only from $15.29!
18 view cover	The Rhythm & The Blues (1982) more music like this by Z.Z. Hill Led by Z.Z. Hill's second immediate standard -- the Denise LaSalle-penned "Someone Else Is Steppin' In" -- Hill's third Malaco album, The Rhythm & the Blues is another consistent effort, if not quite the blockbuster that his previous effort was. Hill again dipped into the Little Johnny Taylor songbook for a humorous slow blues, "Open House at My ... see all copies from $13.04! new only from $14.74!

20 view cover	Stax: Superblues, Vol. 1: All-Time Classic Blues Hits (1990) more music like this by Various Artists The three-volume Superblues series may not have enough rare/unusual items for the collector, or enough of a solid connecting thread for the more general listener. For those who just want a varied assortment of top-notch blues (mostly from the '50s and '60s) in their collection, though, they're good deals. They cover a pretty wide territory of both ... see all copies from $7.60! new only from $10.35!
21 view cover	Turn Back the Hands of Time (1992) more music like this by Z.Z. Hill "Rare and Previously Unreleased Recordings 1965-1972," reads a legend on the cover of the Turn Back the Hands of Time compilation, and while Dan Nooger's liner notes fail to spell out the details, it appears that the bulk of these tracks date from the early '70s and Z.Z. Hill's Hill Records label. One, "Don't Make Me Pay for His Mistakes," was a ... see all copies from $14.19! new only from $14.19!
22 view cover	The Soul of Seduction (1996) more music like this by Various Artists This two-disc compilation brings together 30 Sony Music R&B artists performing songs about sex. Though the selections come from as early as Aretha Franklin's 1962 "Just for a Thrill" and as late as Babyface's 1989 "Whip Appeal," most date from the 1970s, when such artists as the Manhattans, Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes (featuring Teddy ... see all copies from $5.75! new only from $5.75!

24 view cover	In Memorium (1935-1984) (1985) more music like this by Z.Z. Hill In Memorium (1935-1984) contains most of the highlights of Z.Z. Hill's glorious blues-singing stint at Malaco, although his individual albums possess more than their share of worthwhile moments that aren't included here. But with hallowed titles like "Down Home Blues," "Someone Else Is Slippin' In," and "Everybody Knows About My Good Thing," this ... see all copies from $13.04! new only from $14.74!
25 view cover	For Connoisseurs Only (2001) more music like this by Various Artists There are no less than 28 soul rarities from the Modern and Kent labels on this compilation, all dating from the mid-'60s to the mid-'70s, mostly from the last half of the 1960s. Such an anthology is by definition something that's going to appeal to virtually no one but lovers of the genre. But within that guideline, it's satisfactory enough, ... see all copies from $13.26! new only from $20.60!
