1	10 Days Out (Blues from the Backroads) (2007) more music like this by Kenny Wayne Shepherd add to wishlist 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 $11.25! new only from $11.25!
2	Lightning in a Bottle (2004) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist Lightning in a Bottle is the double-disc soundtrack to the documentary film of the same title directed by Antoine Fuqua and shot at a February 7, 2003, concert at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Billed as a "Salute to the Blues," the show featured veteran blues musicians as well as a younger generation of players and artists either ... see all copies from $10.24! new only from $12.97!
3	Lead Me On (1995) more music like this by Kelly Joe Phelps add to wishlist This is the real deal -- Phelps performs with the full authority and authenticity of the Delta bluest tradition without ever once sounding like a Folkways museum piece. There's nothing more to it than the 34-year-old's raspy, swamp-infused vocals, lapstyle acoustic guitar played using fingerpicking and slide, and self-accompanied stomp-box ... see all copies from $9.57! new only from $9.57!
4	People Take Warning! Murder Ballads & Disaster Songs 1913-1938 (2007) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This three-disc, 70-track (30 of them new to the CD era) collection of murder ballads and disaster songs originally released on commercial 78s between 1913 and 1938 is, in spite of the archaic song structures and often crude sonic qualities on display, strangely contemporary in tone and feel, maybe because we've always been drawn to the scene of ... see all copies from $36.92! new only from $36.92!
5	The Greatest Songs of Woody Guthrie (1972) more music like this by Woody Guthrie add to wishlist 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 $10.79! new only from $10.79!
6	Deluxe Edition (2006) more music like this by Saffire -- The Uppity Blues Women add to wishlist There is plenty of fire in Saffire -- The Uppity Blues Women, a trio of feisty multiracial middle-aged acoustic blues femmes who, rather surprisingly, were one of the top sellers from Alligator's male-dominated, plugged-in roster. This generous 20-track, 75-minute compilation collects highlights from the threesome's previous seven Alligator albums ... see all copies from $13.06! new only from $14.61!
7	Daddy-O Daddy!: Rare Family Songs of Woody Guthrie (2001) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist As passionate as dust bowl troubadour Woody Guthrie was about politics and inequality, he was even more passionate about children, particularly his own. It has been long known that Guthrie left behind a wealth of unrecorded and half completed songs while he was living in New York near the end of his life, the most famous of these appearing as ... see all copies from $7.25! new only from $13.80!
8	Shine Eyed Mister Zen (1999) more music like this by Kelly Joe Phelps add to wishlist Phelps' third album is an accomplished serving of country blues that combines the sweet and sour power of his guitar playing with the equally bittersweet charge of Phelps' wearied voice. Shine Eyed Mister Zen features a lot of singing, but most importantly it spotlights the singing of Phelps' slide guitar, which integrates a humid and natural ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $9.83!
9	Giant Step/De Ole Folks at Home (1969) more music like this by Taj Mahal add to wishlist In less than 24 months, Taj Mahal (guitars/vocals/banjo/harmonica) had issued the equivalent of four respective long-players. The electric Giant Step (1968) was released alongside the acoustic and decidedly rural De Ole Folks at Home (1968). The nine cuts on Giant Step feature support from the instrumental trio of Jesse Ed Davis (guitar/keyboards) ... see all copies from $5.31! new only from $6.06!
10	The Best of Taj Mahal [Sony Remaster] (2000) more music like this by Taj Mahal add to wishlist Columbia/Legacy's 2000 collection The Best of Taj Mahal is a first-rate overview of Taj Mahal's classic late-'60s/early-'70s work for Columbia. Spanning 17 tracks, including a previously unreleased cut "Sweet Mama Janisse" from 1970, this hits many of the key points from the records he released between 1967 and 1974, including "Statesboro Blues," ... see all copies from $6.83! new only from $6.83!
11	Live Gypsy (2003) more music like this by Tony Furtado & The American Gypsies add to wishlist Slide guitar and banjo whiz Tony Furtado's fourth album in four years (for his fourth label) is a perfect encapsulation of how his sound has grown. Encompassing folk, blues, funk, and jazz, the disc kicks off with a seven-minute jam on "False Hearted Lover" featuring Paul McCandless on reeds (a recent addition to the American Gypsies). The ex ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
12	John Fahey/Peter Lang/Leo Kottke (1974) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Not a collaboration between the artists, as you might think from a glance at the title, but a compilation, featuring four songs apiece from each of the guitarists. Fahey, Kottke, and Lang (a considerably less celebrated name than the other two) all recorded for Fahey's Takoma label, and all played haunting acoustic guitar instrumentals that relied ... see all copies from $14.10! new only from $14.10!
13	House on Fire, Vol. 1: An Urban Folk Collection (1995) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist House on Fire: An Urban Folk Collection combines the old and the new, with performances from the likes of Spider John Koerner, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, John Gorka, the Chenille Sisters, Lucy Kaplansky, Greg Brown, Paul Geremia, Kate McKenzie, and many more. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.00!
14	Odetta Sings Dylan (1965) more music like this by Odetta add to wishlist From 1965, Odetta Sings Dylan was one of the first albums entirely devoted to Bob Dylan interpretations, and one of the best. In part that's because the concept was still actually fresh then; in fact, other than an obscure 1964 album by Linda Mason, it was the very first album of Dylan covers. And in part it was because, unlike most of the artists ... see all copies from $10.99! new only from $10.99!
15	Richland Woman Blues (2001) more music like this by Maria Muldaur add to wishlist Best known for that ditty about camels, Maria Muldaur has since established herself as one of the finest folk/country/jazz/blues/gospel interpreters ever to have a Top Five single. After 26 years and 24 solo albums, Muldaur -- inspired by a trip to Memphis' Beale Street -- digs deep into her roots and pays tribute to the classic blues women of the ... see all copies from $5.94! new only from $14.74!
16	Where Did You Sleep Last Night: Lead Belly Legacy, Vol. 1 (1996) more music like this by Leadbelly add to wishlist The bulk of the best performances by Leadbelly -- whose influence on the folk revival of the 1950s and '60s cannot be overstated -- were recorded during the '40s for Folkways Records founder Moses Asch. Inferior copies and re-recordings of these tunes have appeared over the years, but the original masters have sat in the vaults of Folkways. The ... see all copies from $9.55! new only from $11.95!
17	A Family Affair (2004) more music like this by Leon & Eric Bibb add to wishlist see all copies from $10.96! new only from $13.64!
18	Just a Closer Walk with Thee (1960) more music like this by Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee add to wishlist Here's Brownie and Sonny's gospel album, recorded in 1957 at Jenny Lind Hall in Oakland, California. Those used to hearing this duo stomp and hoot the blues will be surprised as they tackle material like "What a Beautiful City," "I Shall Not Be Moved," "If I Could Hear My Mother Pray," and Gary Davis' "Get Right Church" in their own inimitable ... see all copies from $6.99! new only from $9.77!
19	Watermelon Slim & the Workers (2006) more music like this by Watermelon Slim & the Workers add to wishlist You could see this one coming. Watermelon Slim's last album, 2004's sparse and arresting Up Close & Personal, revealed a contemporary bluesman with a scholar's understanding of the genre and a truly skewed, passionate approach to performing it that hinted at even deeper possibilities. Watermelon Slim & the Workers is the payoff. The sound on this ... see all copies from $8.63! new only from $10.44!
20	Sisters & Brothers (2004) more music like this by Eric Bibb/Rory Block/Maria Muldaur add to wishlist As its title implies, this is a spiritually based collaboration from three distinct -- even disparate -- yet surprisingly harmonious voices. Mostly, but not entirely acoustic, the trio of rootsy singers trade lead vocals on smooth jazz/blues ("Bessie's Dream"), folk-blues ("Good Stuff"), Delta blues ("Rolling Log"), gospel (an a cappella version ... see all copies from $14.42! new only from $14.42!
21	The Transfiguration of Blind Joe Death (1965) more music like this by John Fahey add to wishlist A strange man, John Fahey, with an unusual set of guitar styles. This album, originally released on Riverboat Records and later reissued by Fahey's own Takoma label, has a lot of rough edges in terms of the recording but a tremendous amount of power when it comes to the music. Fahey was at the top of his game, alternately playful and dark, so ... see all copies from $12.51! new only from $12.51!
22	Daily Bread (2005) more music like this by Corey Harris add to wishlist Corey Harris takes a decidedly anthropological and academic approach to the blues, deeply researching its variants and origins, even making several trips to Africa to trace out its DNA (resulting in the marvelous Mississippi to Mali), but even as Harris thinks and connects dots like a scholar, when he gets down to playing the songs, he's all ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $14.58!
23	Gwine Dig a Hole to Put the Devil In (1991) more music like this by Leadbelly add to wishlist Gwine Dig a Hole to Put the Devil In is an excellent sampling of material from Leadbelly's early Library of Congress sessions, including versions of some of the first songs he ever learned, "Green Corn" and "Po' Howard," his song to Governor Neff that helped secure his release from a Texas prison in 1925, his first recorded version of "If It Wasn ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $14.50!
24	Absolutely the Best (2000) more music like this by Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee add to wishlist Absolutely the Best: Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee collects 14 of the acclaimed country-blues duo's most memorable performances, including "I'm a Stranger Here," "Down by the Riverside," "Drinkin' in the Blues," and "Blowin' the Fuses." Terry and McGhee are joined by Lightnin' Hopkins and Big Joe Williams on "Blues for Gamblers," "Early Mornin' ... see all copies from $10.08! new only from $10.08!
25	Masters of the Delta Blues: The Friends of Charlie Patton (1991) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist As the most popular blues craftsman of the Mississippi Delta, Charley Patton had a resounding influence on many of the musicians that passed through the region during the '20s and '30s. Following his initial session for Paramount in 1929, he recommended both Son House and Willie Brown, as well as his mistress Louise Johnson and common-law wife ... see all copies from $15.65! new only from $15.65!
