1	Louie Bluie (1985) more music like this by Howard Armstrong As easy as it is to characterize Howard Armstrong as the last link in the once great African-American string band tradition, he really had the kind of personality and talent that transcended simple genre labels. A visual artist as well as a consummate musician (he is rumored to have been able to play 22 different types of instruments), his grasp ... see all copies from $13.85! new only from $13.85!

4	The Undisputed Queen of the Blues (2006) more music like this by Bessie Smith see all copies from $10.54! new only from $10.54!
5	Itinerary of a Genius (2007) more music like this by Bessie Smith If you considered the total recorded output of Bessie Smith and tried to condense it into a single 22-track CD, you'd be hard-pressed to do a better selection job than on this premier release. The Milan and Ryko labels have collaborated, and done well, to reissue these songs which have otherwise been available in chronological extensia (check out ... see all copies from $16.37! new only from $16.37!

8	Harmonica Masters (1996) more music like this by Various Artists Continuing the label's exploration deep into the early vernacular music of the United States, Yazoo Records devotes this compilation to some of the finest harmonica players of the 1920s and 1930s. Harmonica Masters features performances by harp greats like DeFord Bailey, Noah Lewis, Jed Davenport, Jaybird Coleman, and 19 others. The smallest and ... see all copies from $15.65! new only from $15.65!

10	Rude Dudes (2003) more music like this by Various Artists Since leaving the Rolling Stones in 1993, Bill Wyman has gone on a one-man crusade to promote the music he obviously loves. Wyman fronts his own blues band, the Rhythm Kings, and has been instrumental in keeping the names of both classic and obscure blues artists in the public eye through compilations like Rude Dudes. The title is somewhat ... see all copies from $4.90! new only from $18.45!
11	Bessie Smith [Centurion Jazz] (2005) more music like this by Bessie Smith see all copies from $7.65! new only from $53.36!
12 view cover	Four Women Blues: Victor/Bluebird Recordings (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Four Women Blues is the kind of anthology that would be assembled by a specialty label like Document or Story of the Blues, not a major label like RCA. And yet here it is, encompassing rare and unreleased Victor/Bluebird sides by four early female blues artists, mastered wherever possible from the original metal parts. The recordings, made between ... see all copies from $8.75!
13 view cover	Cornet Blues (2000) more music like this by Johnny Dunn see all copies from $21.99! new only from $21.99!
14 view cover	1924-1925 (1996) more music like this by Helen Gross Not a blues singer in the classic sense, like a Bessie Smith, but more of a vaudeville performer, Helen Gross recorded some of the strangest material ever marketed as blues. Recorded in New York in the mid-'20s with many of the best jazz players of the day -- including horn players Bubber Miley and Louis Metcalf from Duke Ellington's band and ... see all copies from $14.47! new only from $14.47!
15 view cover	The Roots of Rap: Classic Recordings from the 1920's and 30's (1996) more music like this by Various Artists This ambitious and thought-provoking project turns to early black-and-white, religious, and secular traditions for antecedents to modern rap styles. Drawing from the commercial recordings of the 1920s and '30s, The Roots of Rap provides a broad sampling of rural voices straddling the lines of speech and song against the rhythms of piano, banjo, ... see all copies from $11.42! new only from $11.42!
16 view cover	Louie Bluie [Bonus Tracks] (1985) more music like this by Howard Armstrong The soundtrack to the Louie Bluie film has Louis Armstrong in informal settings with various musicians, including Ted Bogan, Ikey Robinson, Yank Rachell, and Tom Armstrong. The selection of material gives a good indication of the breadth of the songster's repertoire, with ragtime, songs in German and Polish, blues, and a bawdy version of "Darktown ... see all copies from $15.30! new only from $15.30!
17 view cover	Queen of the Blues Volume 1 (2007) more music like this by Bessie Smith As evidenced by the five double-disc sets issued by Columbia at the end of the last century, Bessie Smith was at the very least prolific. From the beginning of her series of recordings for the label in 1923, she recorded and toured almost incessantly until her death in an automobile accident in 1937. England's JSP issues its first volume in a ... see all copies from $26.40! new only from $26.40!
18 view cover	My Rough and Rowdy Ways, Vol. 2 (1998) more music like this by Various Artists My Rough and Rowdy Ways, Vol. 2 features 23 songs from the '30s about badmen and hellraisers, by artists ranging from legends like Uncle Dave Macon, Mississippi John Hurt, and Big Bill Broonzy to obscure music pioneers like George Reneau and groups like the Haywood County Ramblers. The mix of white, country, and black, blues artists is one of the ... see all copies from $16.21! new only from $16.21!
19 view cover	Harmonica Blues [Yazoo] (1991) more music like this by Various Artists It is perhaps a testament to the harmonica's status in music that even its finest practitioners remain relatively obscure. Compiling a disc of harp players, as Yazoo has done here, isn't going to turn up a bunch of familiar names. As an early document of an instrument that remained essential to the blues well after it became an electric medium, ... see all copies from $15.65! new only from $15.65!
20 view cover	Mama Let Me Lay It on You (1926-1936) (1991) more music like this by Various Artists A fine collection of East Coast blues, including vintage Josh White, Pink Anderson, and guitarists Blind Blake and Willie Walker. Barry Lee Pearson, All Music Guide see all copies from $17.50!
21 view cover	The Great Harp Players (1927-1936) (1992) more music like this by Various Artists Although one may think of the blues harp beginning with Little Walter, the first Sonny Boy Williamson, or Sonny Terry, a variety of harmonica players did record in the '20s. Some of their recordings were technical displays that featured them imitating everything from animals to trains, while other players were more blues-oriented. This valuable CD ... see all copies from $12.34!
22 view cover	The Ultimate Collection (1998) more music like this by Bessie Smith see all copies from $7.00!
23 view cover	Mandolin Blues (1997) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $14.57! new only from $14.57!
24 view cover	Complete Recorded Works, Vol. 1 (1925-1928) (1998) more music like this by Coot Grant & Kid Wilson Coot Grant and Kid Wilson were nearly exact contemporaries of Butterbeans & Susie. Both couples were enormously popular with Afro-American audiences before, during and after the First World War. The Document historical reissue label achieved the near-impossible by compiling most of Grant and Wilson's known recordings into three volumes, each ... see all copies from $14.19! new only from $14.19!
25 view cover	Complete Recorded Works, Vol. 2 (1928-1931) (1998) more music like this by Coot Grant & Kid Wilson Vol. 2 in Document's three-part history of Coot Grant and Kid Wilson focuses largely upon Wilson's career. Nine of twenty-four tracks feature vocals by Grant, with accompaniments by Fletcher Henderson's band, guitarists Bobby Leecan, Bernard Addison and (possibly) Eddie Lang, as well as piano and vocals by her second husband Wesley Wilson. A ... see all copies from $14.19! new only from $14.19!
