1	Raising Sand (2007) more music like this by Robert Plant/Alison Krauss What seems to be an unlikely pairing in the duo of former -- and future apparently -- Led Zeppelin vocalist Robert Plant and bluegrass superstar Alison Krauss is actually one of the most effortless-sounding pairings in modern popular music. The bridge seems to be producer T-Bone Burnett and the band assembled for this outing: drummer Jay Bellerose ... see all copies from $9.85! new only from $16.28!
2	Suitcase (2006) more music like this by Keb' Mo' On Suitcase, his eighth studio release, Keb' Mo' (Kevin Moore) reunites with John Porter, the producer of Moore's critically lauded first album, and the result is a pleasant, midtempo suite of songs dedicated to the emotional baggage everyone carries with them as they plow through increasingly complicated lives in search of peace, love, and some ... see all copies from $14.33! new only from $14.33!
3	Just Like You (1996) more music like this by Keb' Mo' On his second album, Keb' Mo' begins to expand the borders of his Delta blues by recording with a full band on a couple of tracks and attempting more expansive, rock-based song structures. The attempts aren't entirely successful and it's ironic that he decided to try rock-oriented material after he received such praise for his traditionalist debut ... see all copies from $4.39! new only from $11.06!
4	Keb' Mo' (1994) more music like this by Keb' Mo' Keb' Mo's self-titled debut is an edgy, ambitious collection of gritty country blues. Keb' Mo' pushes into new directions, trying to incorporate some of the sensibilites of the slacker revolution without losing touch of the tradition that makes the blues the breathing, vital art form it is. His attempts aren't always successful, but his gutsy ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $7.06!
5	Keep It Simple (2004) more music like this by Keb' Mo' Keb' Mo' is less a blues singer than a performer who works from that conceptual base, not in the way Taj Mahal does, knowingly carrying a tradition forward, half teacher and wise elder, but more as a populist, the James Taylor of blues, say, or a less recalcitrant J.J. Cale. To criticize him for not being Skip James or Robert Johnson sort of ... see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
6	Bronx in Blue (2005) more music like this by Dion Since his doo wop beginnings in the 1950s, Dion has tried a number of different musical styles, including the rock & roll of his early-'60s solo work and his late-'60s folk-pop phase. He also played the blues, if less prominently (see for example the belatedly released Bronx Blues album), and he again tries the style here in what he bills as a ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $10.43!
7	Leave the Light On (2006) more music like this by Chris Smither Chris Smither doesn't do much here that he hasn't done throughout his long career, but there's no crime in consistent excellence. That career, launched during the Boston folk revival of the late '60s, has now encompassed a dozen albums, with a lengthy hiatus throughout most of the '70s and '80s as Smither battled the demons of alcoholism and ... see all copies from $15.98! new only from $15.98!
8	Timeless: Hank Williams Tribute (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Many tribute albums act as secret promotional tools for the individual labels to push some of their lesser-known artists on the coattails of their heavy hitters. Fortunately, nothing could be further from the truth on Lost Highway's all-star tribute to Hank Williams, Timeless. Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Tom Petty, Emmylou Harris, and Keith Richards ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $13.34!
9	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!
10	Diamond Days (2006) more music like this by Eric Bibb Calm, wise, hushed, and elegant, Diamond Days is in many ways the perfect Eric Bibb album. It features his fine acoustic guitar playing and his soothing, nuanced singing, and it shows an increasingly improving songwriter as well, and the whole affair is all wrapped up with a patient, quietly joyous, and ultimately positive vibe. Bibb's version of ... see all copies from $16.49! new only from $16.49!
11 view cover	Taj Mahal (1968) more music like this by Taj Mahal Taj Mahal's debut album was a startling statement in its time and has held up remarkably well. Recorded in August of 1967, it was as hard and exciting a mix of old and new blues sounds as surfaced on record in a year when even a lot of veteran blues artists (mostly at the insistence of their record labels) started turning toward psychedelia. The ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $11.06!
12 view cover	Po' Girl (2003) more music like this by Po' Girl One of 2003's most self-assured debuts, this album unites a pair of talented young Canadians, Allison Russell and Trish Klein, the latter a veteran of the alternative folk trio the Be Good Tanyas. Their richly textured music conveys a late-night, jazzy, improvisational feeling, thanks partly to Russell's wonderfully dreamy clarinet flourishes, the ... see all copies from $5.95! new only from $5.95!
13 view cover	Home to You (2007) more music like this by Po' Girl By their third release it had already been noted numerous times that beautiful harmonies were a strong point for alternative folksters Po' Girl and that they could entrance with music that wasn't afraid to straddle genres while remaining organically pure. With their third release. Canada's acoustic wonders have conquered the full-length, ... see all copies from $14.22! new only from $14.22!
14 view cover	Roll Away the Stone (1997) more music like this by Kelly Joe Phelps If anything, Roll Away the Stone is an even better record than Kelly Joe Phelps' debut, Lead Me On. Phelps continues to grow as both a musician and songwriter, and his interpretations of classic blues songs show increased imagination. Although it's based in classic blues, this music doesn't sound ancient -- it sounds vital and alive, like any ... see all copies from $11.05! new only from $11.05!
15 view cover	Slidewinder (1988) more music like this by Roy Rogers Slidewinder is one of Roy Rogers's best albums, a collection of smoking hot contemporary blues, ranging from jacked-up rocking boogie numbers and dirty Chicago blues to stripped-down acoustic numbers. It all works equally well, especially the two stellar duets with pianist Allen Toussaint. Thom Owens, All Music Guide see all copies from $12.00! new only from $15.28!
16 view cover	Blues Singer (2003) more music like this by Buddy Guy Arriving after the unexpected blast of raw energy that was 2001's Sweet Tea, 2003's Blues Singer could idealistically be seen as the acoustic flip side of that high-voltage, raw electric blues. Like Sweet Tea, Blues Singer is supposed to exist deep down within the Delta blues tradition, only finding Buddy Guy armed with an acoustic guitar and the ... see all copies from $4.52! new only from $6.58!
17 view cover	Mississippi Hill Country Blues (2000) more music like this by R.L. Burnside It's a pleasure to hear R.L. Burnside's early acoustic blues played the way he learned them in the hill country of Northern Mississippi. Three of these tracks date from 1967 and were recorded in Coldwater, MS by folklorist George Mitchell, while the remaining 16 were recorded in the early '80s by Swingmaster operator Leo Bruin in Groningen, ... see all copies from $15.75! new only from $15.75!
18 view cover	Music by Ry Cooder (1995) more music like this by Ry Cooder Since he's a limited vocalist with erratic songwriting skills, one could justifiably argue that the soundtrack medium is the best vehicle for Ry Cooder's talents, allowing him to construct eclectic, chiefly instrumental pieces drawing upon all sorts of roots music and ethnic flavors (often, but not always, employing his excellent blues and slide ... see all copies from $11.00! new only from $17.90!
19 view cover	Daily Bread (2005) more music like this by Corey Harris 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 $12.49! new only from $15.98!
20 view cover	Daddy-O Daddy!: Rare Family Songs of Woody Guthrie (2001) more music like this by Various Artists 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 $5.88! new only from $15.11!
21 view cover	Dislocation Blues (2007) more music like this by Chris Whitley/Jeff Lang Recorded in April of 2005, seven months before Chris Whitley's death from lung cancer, Dislocation Blues is a fine, perhaps even glorious, epitaph. Aussie blues guitarist Jeff Lang and Whitley, friends since the mid-'90s, hooked up as part of an Australian tour and took a couple of weeks to record these 14 songs (the final two, Robert Johnson's ... see all copies from $15.98! new only from $15.98!
22 view cover	The Uppity Blues Women (1990) more music like this by Saffire -- The Uppity Blues Women In 1984, three middle-aged women (guitarist Gaye Adegbalola, bassist Earlene Lewis and pianist Ann Rabson) came together to play blues as Saffire. Their 1990 Alligator CD is still Saffire's best all-around recording. Even overlooking the novelty of three women giving a female and middle-aged slant to the blues, this is a highly enjoyable and ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $15.59!
23 view cover	Live and Uppity (1998) more music like this by Saffire -- The Uppity Blues Women Saffire has been bringing their "uppity" brand of blues to stages from quite some time, and it was inevitable that a live album would rear its head sooner or later. But recording this one over a three-night stand at the Barns of Wolf Trap is a class-A affair all the way. With the ladies in top form, playing to an adoring audience cheering them on ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $15.28!
24 view cover	Senor Blues (1997) more music like this by Taj Mahal Señor Blues is one of Taj Mahal's best latter-day albums, a rollicking journey through classic blues styles performed with contemporary energy and flair. There's everything from country-blues to jazzy uptown blues on Señor Blues, and Taj hits all of areas in between, including R&B and soul. Stylistically, it's similar to most of his albums, but ... see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
25 view cover	Definition of a Circle (2007) more music like this by Otis Taylor see all copies from $15.98! new only from $15.98!
