1	O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000) more music like this by Original Soundtrack The critical consensus at the end of 2000 was that it had been one of the weakest film years in recent memory. Which may have been true, despite O Brother, Where Art Thou?, the Coen brothers' delightfully warm and weird Depression-era re-telling of Homer's Odyssey. But for music lovers, 2000 was an amazing year at the movies, and it produced ... see all copies from $13.34! new only from $13.34!
2	10 Days Out (Blues from the Backroads) (2007) more music like this by Kenny Wayne Shepherd 10 Days Out may well be Kenny Wayne Shepherd's most important and intriguing album, even though the guitarist is hardly the featured artist on any of these tracks, working instead more as a sideman and facilitator for the impressive cast of venerable blues players who get a chance to shine here. Make no mistake about it, this recording belongs to ... see all copies from $15.99! new only from $21.87!
3	The Complete Recordings [Columbia #1] (1990) more music like this by Robert Johnson A double-disc box set containing everything Robert Johnson ever recorded, The Complete Recordings is essential listening, but it is also slightly problematic. The problems aren't in the music itself, of course, which is stunning and the fidelity of the recordings is the best it ever has been or ever will be. Instead, it's in the track sequencing. ... see all copies from $7.50! new only from $22.10!
4	Hooker 'n Heat (1971) more music like this by John Lee Hooker w/ Canned Heat When this two-LP set was initially released in January 1971, Canned Heat was back to its R&B roots, sporting slightly revised personnel. In the spring of the previous year, Larry "The Mole" Taylor (bass) and Harvey Mandel (guitar) simultaneously accepted invitations to join John Mayall's concurrent incarnation of the Bluesbreakers. This marked the ... see all copies from $7.49! new only from $18.67!
5	The Complete Aladdin Recordings (1991) more music like this by Lightnin' Hopkins This is where it all began for the Houston troubadour: 43 solo sides, as evocative and stark as any he ever did, from 1946-1948. The first 13 sides find the guitarist in tandem with pianist Wilson "Thunder" Smith (who handles the vocals on a few tracks), but after that, old Lightnin' Hopkins went the solo route. "Katie May," "Short Haired Woman," ... see all copies from $7.05! new only from $8.20!
6	The Definitive Collection [Hip-O] (2006) more music like this by John Lee Hooker What can be said about yet another John Lee Hooker greatest-hits collection!? Not only is the music consumer loaded down with these discs, but frankly, most are very similar in content. The main thing to look for when purchasing a compilation of "The Hook" is a trust worthy label. Hip-O's Definitive Collection provides one such example, complete ... see all copies from $6.15! new only from $6.15!
7	Black Snake Moan [Original Soundtrack] (2007) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Black Snake Moan, the 2007 movie that stars Samuel L. Jackson as a God-fearing, bent broken soul and tortured former bluesman, with Christina Ricci playing the town tramp he feels he has to redeem by any means necessary, is a wildly provocative look at spiritual and cultural mores -- and is sure to set some folks on edge. The soundtrack that ... see all copies from $14.76! new only from $14.76!
8	The Complete Studio Recordings (2000) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Although not as consistently magnificent as Hurt's 1928 recordings, the performances the artist recorded for Vanguard in the mid 1960's would be the zenith of many blues artist's entire careers. Songs like the opening "Payday" and "Poor Boy, Long Ways From Home" rank with any folk-blues song ever recorded. This fantastic set collects the three ... see all copies from $19.67! new only from $19.67!
9	Absolutely the Best (2000) more music like this by Odetta Absolutely the Best is a series title for mid-priced compilations released by Fuel 2000, but it sets a standard that the Odetta entry is unable to meet, even though the material the album contains is valuable. It would be difficult to assemble a true Odetta best-of, because the folksinger's recordings, which, paralleling the folk boom, were ... see all copies from $12.69! new only from $13.84!
10	Mr. Lucky (1991) more music like this by John Lee Hooker His latest for Virgin's blues division, contains some entertaining material. It's not a classic, but it's not half-bad either. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $15.11!
11 view cover	The Complete Prestige/Bluesville Recordings (1991) more music like this by Lightnin' Hopkins This is a seven-CD box set that repackages all 11 LPs that Lightnin' Hopkins recorded for Bluesville and Prestige during the first half of the 1960s: Last Night Blues, Lightnin', Blues in My Bottle, Walkin' This Road By Myself, Lightnin' and Co., Smokes Like Lightning, Hootin' the Blues, Goin' Away, Down Home Blues, Soul Blues and My Life in the ... see all copies from $33.14! new only from $54.90!
12 view cover	Today! (1964) more music like this by Skip James The 12 sides that comprise Today! are among the best James would record after his rediscovery in the '60s. His playing may be a bit less intricate than that captured on his legendary 78s from the '30s, but his unique falsetto sounds no less troubled or haunting than before on this album's definitive performances of "Hard Times Killing Floor Blues, ... see all copies from $12.09! new only from $12.09!
13 view cover	The Wheel Man (2007) more music like this by Watermelon Slim and the Workers The blues has always been an enigma. A music that expresses deeply personal emotions, it does so with a well-worn collection of repeated phrases, rhymes, and floating verses that are nothing short of community property. It is also a music of constriction, with a conservative set of stock progressions and riffs that make innovations to the genre ... see all copies from $11.95! new only from $11.95!
14 view cover	Complete Recordings: 1929-1934 (2002) more music like this by Charley Patton At the end of just the first disc on this five-CD set, the listener may feel like he/she was in the audio equivalent of a visual "white-out," so powerful are the sounds on that disc. From the opening bars of"Pony Blues," Charley Patton becomes a gigantic musical presence, who gets even bigger as his work goes on; with a guttural, stentorian voice ... see all copies from $26.81! new only from $26.81!
15 view cover	Avalon Blues: The Complete 1928 Okeh Recordings (1996) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Mississippi John Hurt's latter-day recordings after his rediscovery have somewhat obscured the importance of these debut sides -- the ones that made his rediscovery an idea initially worth pursuing. Archival recordings such as Avalon Blues: The Complete 1928 Okeh Recordings are the collector's items that made his rep in the first place, and stand ... see all copies from $5.33! new only from $5.33!
16 view cover	King of the Delta Blues Singers [Bonus Track] (1966) more music like this by Robert Johnson Reading about the power inherent in Robert Johnson's music is one thing, but actually experiencing it is another matter entirely. The official 1998 edition of the original 1961 album was certainly worth the wait, remastered off the best quality original 78s available, of far superior quality to any of the source materials used on even the 1991 ... see all copies from $5.46! new only from $11.06!
17 view cover	Avalon Blues (1963) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt This is the first in a multiple-volume series devoted to the Piedmont recordings Hurt made upon his rediscovery in the early '60s. They capture him with his playing and singing still intact, untouched by the world around him, a world that had changed so much since he initially recorded back in the '20s. Many of his best-known tunes are here -- ... see all copies from $6.04! new only from $6.04!
18 view cover	The Very Best of John Lee Hooker [Rhino] (1995) more music like this by John Lee Hooker This 16-track collection sweats down Rhino's two-disc anthology to a lean, mean and essential single disc. Here are the earliest recordings that established Hooker as a major blues artist -- "Boogie Chillen," "Hobo Blues," "I'm In the Mood," "Crawlin' Kingsnake," and "Huckle Up Baby" -- and they sound better here than on most other collections, ... see all copies from $4.49! new only from $6.12!
19 view cover	The Greatest Songs of Woody Guthrie (1972) more music like this by Woody Guthrie A two-record set released on one CD, this collection of great Woody Guthrie songs performed by some of Guthrie's apostles, as well as by Guthrie himself, serves as a nice overview of his music. From the opening notes of "This Land Is Your Land" and a composite arrangement that starts with Guthrie and his guitar, then folds into the Weavers ... see all copies from $12.47! new only from $12.47!
20 view cover	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!
21 view cover	His Folkways Years (1963-1968) (1998) more music like this by Dock Boggs After Boggs, the Appalachian singer/banjoist who had released a dozen sides in the late '20s, was rediscovered by Mike Seeger in 1963, he did some recording for Folkways Records. This double-CD, 50-song set contains the material from three Boggs LPs for Folkways: Legendary Singer & Banjo Player (1963), Vol. 2 (1965), and Vol. 3 (1970). The ... see all copies from $22.74! new only from $22.74!
22 view cover	Today! (1966) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Today is Mississippi John Hurt's first and finest studio release since his "rediscovery" on his Avalon farm by folklorist Tom Hoskins in 1963. Eclipsed possibly only by his earlier 1928 Sessions, this album shows a more mature Hurt picking his way through standards and originals after the Depression years and Hurt's fall into obscurity before the ... see all copies from $11.92! new only from $11.92!
23 view cover	The Slide Guitar: Bottles, Knives, & Steel, Vol. 1 (1991) more music like this by Various Artists 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 $5.47! new only from $5.47!
24 view cover	What's Wrong with You (2000) more music like this by Robert Belfour There's a certain honesty about people like Robert Belfour. Just by listening to What's Wrong With You one can immediately tell that he had a back breaking life in Memphis, TN. Blues enthusiasts are fortunate enough to hear all about it on his first album. Belfour was 60 years old by the time that What's Wrong With You came out. Over forty years ... see all copies from $9.16! new only from $14.60!
25 view cover	Blind Lemon Jefferson [Milestone] (1961) more music like this by Blind Lemon Jefferson This solid collection (73 minutes' worth) features some of Blind Lemon Jefferson's best. "Jack O'Diamond Blues," "Match Box Blues," and "That Black Snake Moan" are all on board, and with the Sonic Solutions System employed on the audio restoration end, the result is about the best these surviving 78s have ever sounded. Cub Koda, All Music Guide see all copies from $10.80! new only from $10.80!
