1	Junco Partner (1976) more music like this by James Booker This solo disc by arguably the most brilliant of New Orleans' resplendent pianists shows off all the edge and genius he possessed. There may be moments on other discs of slightly more inspired playing (and this is arguable), but for a whole disc this one stands far from the crowd. You can hear some of the most awe-inspiring playing here that ... see all copies from $8.81! new only from $10.65!
2	Resurrection of the Bayou Maharajah (1993) more music like this by James Booker For a man of such talent and influence, New Orleans piano legend James Booker is amazingly under-recorded. This disc and its partner (Spiders on the Keys) offer up some measure of what the folks of the Big Easy might have heard if they caught Booker on one of his "on" nights (he was a known drug user and inconsistent in his playing). He is at his ... see all copies from $10.99! new only from $10.99!
3	Lost Paramount Tapes (1997) more music like this by James Booker This is a disc made by one of the best piano players to come out of New Orleans, James Booker, playing with an all-star band of New Orleans musicians, most of whom Booker befriended during his days with Dr. John. The music sparkles, all the more amazing because it was recorded live in the L.A. area with no overdubs in 1973, and is just being ... see all copies from $8.92! new only from $11.18!
4	Louisiana Spice (1995) more music like this by Various Artists This CD is a delight for a DJ or party host wanting to serve up a gumbo of Louisiana music. Aptly titled Louisiana Spice, the two-volume set features musical artists from a variety of genres, from R&B to zydeco. The selections are guaranteed to raise the spirits of listeners. Those so inclined will be out on the dancefloor for tunes such as "That ... see all copies from $7.99! new only from $11.38!
5	Spiders on the Keys (1993) more music like this by James Booker This aptly named disc showcases James Booker's piano playing; his stretches and runs are breathtaking in their fluidity. This disc (along with its Rounder partner, Resurrection of the Bayou Maharajah) was culled from some 60 or so hours of tapes that John Parsons recorded at the Maple Leaf Bar from 1977 to 1982. The main difference in the music on ... see all copies from $12.45! new only from $15.85!
6	Country Boy Down in New Orleans (1958) more music like this by Snooks Eaglin Country Boy Down in New Orleans collects 23 tracks Snooks Eaglin recorded in the '50s. During this time, he was a street musician, playing with just one guitar or as a one-man band. On these tracks, he is accompanied by a couple of washboard players and a harpist. As expected, the sound is stripped-down, but it is exciting. Eaglin's early ... see all copies from $12.12! new only from $15.33!
7	Keep It Rollin': The Blues Piano Collection (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Probably the most amazing thing about this record is how fresh the music sounds. In a genre that at best has been recycling its sounds for over 50 years, it's exciting to hear that indeed, there is a lot of blues piano music being made that is vibrant, individual, and yes, living. While this album has its share of "dum da dum da dum" repetition, ... see all copies from $12.95! new only from $16.21!
8	Manchester '77 (2007) more music like this by James Booker see all copies from $14.25! new only from $14.25!
9	Modern New Orleans Masters (1998) more music like this by Various Artists This is an excellent budget compilation from Rounder, featuring modern New Orleans blues, soul, jazz, and funk. Even though some of the artists represented here have recorded for other labels over the years, Rounder has consistently championed excellent sessions from these key players in the Crescent City. Irma Thomas, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, ... see all copies from $10.19! new only from $15.29!
10	All by Hisself: Live at the Lonestar (2003) more music like this by Dr. John Dr. John (Mac Rebennack) created his own label after many years in collaboration with Joel Dorn's Hyena Records. The result is an imprint called Skinji Brim that will issue Rebennack's archived live recordings as well as recordings by other artists that "ain't found a home nowhere." All by Hisself: Live at the Lonestar is the first volume of over ... see all copies from $11.67! new only from $14.19!
11 view cover	That's All Right (1961) more music like this by Snooks Eaglin Recorded during the time in which Eaglin was doubling as a blues/folk singer and a commercial R&B artist (for Imperial). He addresses the acoustic folk and blues side of his repertoire, performing everything solo on six and 12-string guitars. Time will probably judge these not to be as interesting as his full-band New Orleans R&B recordings. But ... see all copies from $8.81! new only from $10.44!
12 view cover	Mardi Gras Party [Rounder] (1991) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $6.88! new only from $15.98!
13 view cover	New Orleans Street Singer [Bonus Tracks] (2005) more music like this by Snooks Eaglin Ford "Snooks" Eaglin's first released recordings, the ones collected here, suggested to the world that Eaglin was a great lost country-blues player when he was, in fact, an excellent electric guitar player and a gospel-influenced singer who much preferred playing R&B with a band. When folklorist Harry Oster heard Eaglin busking with his guitar on ... see all copies from $12.29! new only from $14.95!
14 view cover	New Orleans Piano Wizard: Live! (1977) more music like this by James Booker Why so much of what pianist/vocalist James Booker recorded in the 1970s didn't surface until the '90s is a mystery, but that's secondary compared to the greatness routinely presented on this CD. It contains nine Booker selections that he performed at the 1977 Boogie Woogie and Ragtime Piano Contest held in Zurich. His relentless, driving style, ... see all copies from $12.17! new only from $14.77!
15 view cover	Classified (1982) more music like this by James Booker While there has suddenly been a flood of CDs featuring masterful New Orleans keyboard wizard and vocalist James Booker, his best release arguably remains Classified. The 12-track set was a landmark album, as Booker displayed every facet of his distinctive style. He did up-tempo blues, quasi-classical, rock and R&B, making them all sound easy while ... see all copies from $12.41! new only from $15.19!
16 view cover	New Orleans Street Singer (1959) more music like this by Snooks Eaglin Ford "Snooks" Eaglin's first released recordings, the ones collected here, suggested to the world that Eaglin was a great lost country blues player when he was, in fact, an excellent electric guitar player and a gospel-influenced singer who much preferred playing R&B with a band. When folklorist Harry Oster heard Eaglin busking with his guitar on ... see all copies from $20.61! new only from $35.99!
17 view cover	The Sonet Blues Story: 1971 (2006) more music like this by Snooks Eaglin This 1971 date by New Orleans guitarist Snooks Eaglin was recorded in the Crescent City and produced -- insofar as such a thing exists on a solo date like this -- by Samuel Charters, who has written new liner notes for the Sonet Blues Story series -- he produced the entire range of blues sessions for the European label in the early '70s. These 15 ... see all copies from $7.56! new only from $10.44!
18 view cover	Mr. David Viner (2003) more music like this by Mr. David Viner If Mr. David Viner's self-titled debut album is anything to go by, then the cross-pollination of Detroit and London's garage rock scenes is yielding some fun and occasionally exciting results. It's true that Viner's music is closer to New Orleans-inspired blues than the blues-garage fusion of the leading lights of these scenes, but along with the ... see all copies from $35.98! new only from $35.98!
19 view cover	Down the Dirt Road: The Songs of Charley Patton (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Coordinated by acoustic Delta guitarist Steve James (who also penned the liner notes and appears on two tracks), this is a respectful but refreshingly not-always-reverent tribute to the undisputed king of the Delta blues. Although there are only 12 tracks and some of Patton's defining tunes -- like "Screamin' and Hollerin' the Blues" and "A ... see all copies from $16.21! new only from $16.21!
