1	Greatest Hits [MCA] (1998) more music like this by B.B. King There's more than one B.B. King best-of out on the racks, but this 1998 issue, Greatest Hits [MCA], updates his chart achievements and puts them together in a modern, 16-track package for both the novice and casual modern blues listener. Kicking off with a pair of tunes from the influential Live at the Regal album ("Sweet Little Angel," "Everyday ... see all copies from $9.78! new only from $9.78!
2	Best of B.B. King: 20th Century Masters/The Christmas Collection (2003) more music like this by B.B. King This edition in Universal's discount-priced compilation series 20th Century Masters/The Christmas Collection is actually a re-titled reissue of the 2001 collection A Christmas Celebration of Hope. It took B.B. King a long time to get around to his first Christmas album, which didn't appear until about half a century into his recording career. It's ... see all copies from $6.02! new only from $9.95!
3	My Kind of Blues (1961) more music like this by B.B. King According to his biographer, Charles Sawyer, this is King's personal favorite among his recordings. Unlike most of his albums from this period (which are mostly collections of singles), this was recorded in one session and takes him out of his usual big-band setting, using only bass, drums, and piano for accompaniment. The result is a masterpiece: ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
4	80 (2005) more music like this by B.B. King Released the week of B.B. King's 80th birthday, 80 is a star-studded duets album, the first B.B. released since 1997's Deuces Wild. It was recorded in a variety of locations in the spring of 2005 and features a variety of guest artists, ranging from the familiar (Van Morrison, Eric Clapton, Bobby Bland) to the unsurprising (Billy Gibbons, Mark ... see all copies from $2.70! new only from $11.31!
5	King of the Blues [Box] (1992) more music like this by B.B. King No way can a mere four discs cover every facet of the blues king's amazing recording career, but MCA makes a valiant stab at it. The first two discs, as expected, are immaculate: opening with his Bullet Records debut ("Miss Martha King"), the box continues with a handful of pivotal RPM/Kent masters before digging into his 1960s ABC-Paramount ... see all copies from $14.00! new only from $50.69!
6	Spotlight on Lucille (1991) more music like this by B.B. King From the contemporary-looking cover, this would appear to be recently recorded material. But wait -- these are all 1950s/early-'60s instrumentals from the Modern/Kent vaults, spotlighting B.B. King's pristine lead guitar in an often jazzier mode than he usually adopted in the studio. His workout on Louis Jordan's "Just like a Woman" is a tour de ... see all copies from $4.05! new only from $8.97!
7	A Tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughan (1996) more music like this by Various Artists Unlike most tribute albums from the '90s, A Tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughan isn't a lifeless collection of piecemeal studio performances -- it's a fiery, living tribute, which is only fitting for a guitarist who shone intensely and brightly during his brief life. Recorded live in Stevie Ray's hometown of Austin, TX, the album features many of ... see all copies from $3.39! new only from $5.42!
8	Collection (2003) more music like this by Junior Parker After giving rockabilly fans something to talk about forever with his 1953 Sun Records single "Mystery Train" b/w "Love My Baby," Junior Parker moved on to Duke Records, his home for the next dozen or so years. This compilation is drawn from that period, and it contains some of Parker's best efforts, including fine reworkings of a pair of ... see all copies from $5.50! new only from $9.75!
9	Original Greatest Hits (2005) more music like this by B.B. King As part of the celebration of B.B. King's 80th birthday Virgin released the double-disc set Original Greatest Hits in September of 2005 -- the week B.B. turned 80. Since there have been so many comps of King's long career, all bearing titles similar to Original Greatest Hits, it's easy to assume that this collection is yet another recycling of the ... see all copies from $22.28! new only from $22.28!
10	Do the Boogie! B.B. King's Early '50s Classics (1988) more music like this by B.B. King 20 killer tracks from B.B. King's 1950s heyday, including quite a few alternate takes and a few tough-to-locate items ("Bye Bye Baby," "Dark Is the Night," "Jump with You Baby"). Many of the titles are familiar ones -- "Woke Up This Morning," "Every Day (I Have the Blues)," "Please Love Me," "Whole Lotta Love" -- but often as not, compiler Ray ... see all copies from $9.55! new only from $10.79!
11 view cover	Whiskey Is My Habit, Women Is All I Crave: The Best of Leroy Carr (2004) more music like this by Leroy Carr The 40 tracks compiled on this two-disc set represent the entire span of pianist and singer Leroy Carr's recording career that spanned a brief seven years, from 1928-1935. The material represented here -- all but one of these tracks were recorded for the Vocalion label -- features accompaniment by guitarist Scrapper Blackwell on all but one ... see all copies from $16.42! new only from $22.14!
12 view cover	Original Blues Masters (1997) more music like this by B.B. King & Muddy Waters see all copies from $2.90! new only from $2.90!
13 view cover	The Prodigal Son (2004) more music like this by Memphis Gold see all copies from $12.35! new only from $18.07!
14 view cover	Goin' to Brownsville (1998) more music like this by Sleepy John Estes Sleepy John Estes never really changed or altered his style during the 50-year period he recorded. The records he made for Victor in the 1920s didn't sound much different than the ones he made in the late 1960s and 1970s for various collector's labels. This collection features 21 previously unissued solo performances from 1962 capped with a ... see all copies from $10.98! new only from $10.98!
15 view cover	Brownsville Blues (1969) more music like this by Sleepy John Estes Not to be confused with the Brownsville Blues session that Sleepy John Estes recorded for Delmark in the '60s, this Brownsville Blues is an Austrian release that focuses on the Tennessee bluesman's early recordings for Victor, Decca and RCA/Bluebird. Many blues experts will tell you that Estes did his most essential work before World War II, and ... see all copies from $7.25! new only from $8.84!
16 view cover	His Best: The Electric B.B. King (1968) more music like this by B.B. King Although this collection has "Don't Answer the Door," "Paying the Cost to Be the Boss" and a nice live re-cut of "Sweet Sixteen" to highly recommend it, this 1968 issue is hardly King's best, and the "electric" part of the title makes it sound like there's an acoustic B.B. King album lurking around somewhere that you and I somehow missed in the ... see all copies from $2.45! new only from $9.55!
17 view cover	The Best of B.B. King [MCA] (1973) more music like this by B.B. King True, this 1973 vintage best-of album covers a ridiculously slim wedge of time in the blues king's long career. Yet this period was quite significant, for it marks the crest of B.B. King's initial entry into the pop music mass market -- and this album surfs succinctly, if not comprehensively, over the high points of his turn-of-the-decade winning ... see all copies from $1.99!
18 view cover	You Can't Win (1999) more music like this by Mason Ruffner There are 13 new songs on this disc and they range from some slow blues to his characteristic hard-driven Texas blues that he learned growing up in the Fort Worth. His main influences that you can hear are Jimmy Reed, Anson Funderburgh, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, though much of his vocal phrasing probably comes from the time he spent playing in ... see all copies from $7.95! new only from $14.23!
19 view cover	His Definitive Greatest Hits (1999) more music like this by B.B. King see all copies from $7.40! new only from $33.19!
20 view cover	The Legend of Sleepy John Estes (1962) more music like this by Sleepy John Estes In the late '50s Sleepy John Estes wasn't nearly as visible as he had been before and during World War II -- in fact, he had become so obscure that some historians wondered if he had died. But the blues veteran was still very much alive, and in 1962 a 63-year-old Estes (some claimed he was 58 or 57) made an impressive comeback with The Legend of ... see all copies from $8.87! new only from $10.26!
21 view cover	Classics [Intercontinental] (1996) more music like this by B.B. King Intercontinental's The Best of B.B. King is a budget-priced collection of re-recordings of such hits as "How Blue You Can Get," "Paying the Cost to Be the Boss," "Sweet Sixteen," "Evil Child," "Everyday I Have the Blues," "It's My Own Fault Baby" and "The Thrill Is Gone." Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.98!
22 view cover	Needy Time (2007) more music like this by Dr. David Evans see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
23 view cover	The Best of B.B. King [Collectables] (2006) more music like this by B.B. King see all copies from $4.89! new only from $5.48!
24 view cover	Anthology (2000) more music like this by B.B. King MCA's double-disc set Anthology is a bit of a blessing, actually, a welcome entry to B.B. King's extensive catalog, since the last half of his career has not been anthologized often (it was most notably on the box set The King of Blues). Once King's career entered the '70s, he never lost his way, but his recordings became uneven. The situation ... see all copies from $9.91! new only from $21.99!
25 view cover	The Great B.B. King [Ace] (2005) more music like this by B.B. King Released in early 1960, the LP The Great B.B. King was actually a budget-priced compilation of songs he'd recorded for the Modern label over the past five or so years. This CD reissue nearly doubles the length of the original album with eight mostly previously unreleased bonus cuts, as well as adding historical liner notes. Of the ten songs found ... see all copies from $8.80! new only from $12.18!
