1	Songs That Got Us Through WW2, Vol. 2 (1994) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Songs That Got Us Through WW2, Vol. 2 collects more early-'40s pop favorites like Dinah Shore's "You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To," Roy Rogers' "San Fernando Valley," and Johnny Mercer's "On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe." More overtly war-themed songs such as Buddy Johnson & His Orchestra's "When My Man Comes Home," Louis Jordan's "Ration ... see all copies from $12.72! new only from $12.72!
2	The Wildest! [Expanded] (1957) more music like this by Louis Prima add to wishlist A veritable greatest-hits album, The Wildest! is the gem of Louis Prima's catalogue. None of his other efforts transcend its raunchy mix of demented gibberish, blaring sax, and explosive swing, which rocked as hard as anything released at the time. Almost all of Prima's signature songs are found here: "Just a Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody," "Oh Marie, ... see all copies from $7.96! new only from $7.96!
3	Further Definitions (1966) more music like this by Benny Carter & His Orchestra add to wishlist This essential single-CD combines altoist/arranger Benny Carter's classic Further Definitions with the related Additions to Further Definitions. The former set was a revisit, instrumentation-wise, to the famous 1937 session that Carter and tenor saxophonist Coleman Hawkins made in France with two top European saxophonists (Andre Ekyan and Alix ... see all copies from $3.94! new only from $10.43!
4	Jazz Giant (1958) more music like this by Benny Carter add to wishlist Benny Carter had already been a major jazz musician for nearly 30 years when he recorded this particularly strong septet session for Contemporary. With notable contributions from tenor saxophonist Ben Webster, trombonist Frank Rosolino and guitarist Barney Kessel, Carter (who plays a bit of trumpet on "How Can You Lose") is in superb form on a set ... see all copies from $4.64! new only from $8.16!
5	Have Tenor Sax, Will Blow/Live at Small's Paradise (2000) more music like this by King Curtis add to wishlist This Collectables reissue combines two King Curtis albums originally released on Atco. Have Tenor Sax, Will Blow is from 1959 and Live at Small's Paradise from 1966. This is fun soul instrumental music of its time but occasionally generic, highlighted by the two separate versions of the "Peter Gunn Theme." ~ Al Campbell, All Music Guide see all copies from $8.97! new only from $8.97!
6	Number Ones (2005) more music like this by Louis Jordan add to wishlist Number Ones is a fun sampling of 18 chart-toppers by Louis Jordan & His Tympany 5 recorded for Decca between 1942 and 1950. These songs dominated the Billboard R&B charts (or jukebox race charts as they were known then) between 1942 and 1950. Number Ones includes the original versions of such early R&B tracks as "Caldonia," "Beans and Corn Bread," ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $9.99!
7	Last Session (1960) more music like this by Blind Willie McTell add to wishlist This recording has a less-than-stellar reputation, principally because it was done so late in McTell's career, and it is true that he lacks some of the edge, especially in his singing, that he showed on his other postwar recordings. On the other hand, his 12-string playing is about as nimble as ever and a real treat. McTell cut these sides for ... see all copies from $8.16! new only from $8.16!
8	Crosscurrents (1969) more music like this by Danny Kalb and Stefan Grossman add to wishlist Originally released in 1969, Crosscurrents is the meeting of two very different guitarists collaborating on the blues and other folk forms. This is deep American white music played with character, innocence, and instrumental acumen. Danny Kalb was one of the co-founders of the Blues Project and a brilliant if underacknowledged guitarist. Stefan ... see all copies from $9.21! new only from $9.21!
9	Shake 'Em on Down (1972) more music like this by Furry Lewis add to wishlist This 20-song single CD reissues Furry Lewis' first modern commercial recordings, done for two Prestige/Bluesville albums (Back on My Feet Again, Done Changed My Mind) in April and May of 1961 at Sun Studios in Memphis. Lewis is in brilliant form throughout, his fingers nearly as fast and his voice as rich as they were 30-odd years earlier. The ... see all copies from $7.45! new only from $8.16!
10	Classic Blues from Smithsonian Folkways (2003) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Starting in the 1940s, Folkways made significant blues recordings, particularly of important artists who might not have had the easiest time getting or keeping contracts with more commercial labels, but still had something to say artistically. This 26-track compilation assembles material recorded between the 1940s and 1990s that showed up on ... see all copies from $9.89! new only from $9.89!
11	The Best of Blind Willie McTell (2004) more music like this by Blind Willie McTell add to wishlist No one less than Bob Dylan penned the lyric that stated, "nobody can sing the blues, like Blind Willie McTell." McTell's '20s and '30s work reminds one slightly of Robert Johnson's work in the '30s, with notable differences. While McTell has the same dexterity as a guitarist, combining single-note runs with rhythmic aplomb, his singing is never as ... see all copies from $14.58! new only from $14.58!
12	Saturday Night Fish Fry: The Original & Greatest Hits (2000) more music like this by Louis Jordan & His Tymphany Five add to wishlist Subtitled "The Original & Greatest Hits," this 24-track package is exactly that, a really great one stop for those of you wanting to get into the music of this jump blues pioneer. With biggies aboard like "Caldonia Boogie," "Is You Is or Is You Ain't My Baby," "Let the Good Times Roll," "Choo Choo Ch'Boogie," and "Five Guys Named Moe," this makes ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $9.99!
13	Cool Down (1996) more music like this by Cephas & Wiggins add to wishlist Cool Down is the first album the acoustic blues duo Cephas & Wiggins recorded for Alligator Records, and it ranks among their best. The spirit of the session is laid-back and eclectic, as the pair draws on everyone from Blind Lemon Jefferson and Blind Boy Fuller to Fats Domino and Merle Travis. There are also a half-dozen originals that might not ... see all copies from $12.34! new only from $12.34!
14	Great Sax (1995) more music like this by Sil Austin add to wishlist see all copies from $5.44! new only from $7.32!
15	The Long Road to Freedom: An Anthology of Black Music (2001) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $2.39! new only from $51.07!
16	Legends of the Blues, Vol. 1 (1991) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This CD serves as a perfect introduction to pre-war blues for the novice since it contains fine examples of the music of 20 blues artists: Bessie Smith, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Mississippi John Hurt, Blind Willie Johnson, Bo Carter, Blind Willie McTell, Lonnie Johnson, Charley Patton, Leroy Carr, Josh White, Leadbelly, Peetie Wheatstraw, Robert ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $12.88!
17	The Definitive Blind Willie McTell [Columbia/Legacy] (1994) more music like this by Blind Willie McTell add to wishlist This double-CD set is a little misleading. It is definitive, but only in terms of McTell's Columbia and Okeh sides -- you won't find "Statesboro Blues" or his other earliest sides here, because they were done for Victor. But the material that is here is all worthwhile, and this is the best single source for McTell's work for those labels (done ... see all copies from $11.45! new only from $15.18!
18	Jivin' with Jordan [Proper Box] (2002) more music like this by Louis Jordan add to wishlist This whopping 81-cut, four-disc box collects the vast majority of master takes Louis Jordan & His Tympani Five recorded for Decca in the 1940s. While it's true that Germany's Bear Family label did a better job by putting together a seven-disc box with alternates and a number of unreleased masters along with an LP of his duets with Ella Fitzgerald, ... see all copies from $26.88! new only from $26.88!
19	Pig 'n Whistle Red [2003] (2004) more music like this by Blind Willie McTell add to wishlist This set from Sony reissues the Blind Willie McTell Regal recordings, cut in 1950 and previously issued on Biograph with a different cover but the same track sequence. Highlights among the 20 remastered tracks are the Delta blues classics "Brown Skin Woman," "A to Z Blues," and two takes each of "Pal of Mine" and "Sending Up My Timber." This disc ... see all copies from $10.94! new only from $10.94!
20	New Frontier Lover (2000) more music like this by Roy Gaines add to wishlist Known as a protégé of T-Bone Walker and former guitarist for Bobby Blue Bland, Roy Gaines continues to stake out his solo career with the combination spark of Texas blues and soul. New Frontier Lover features not only a tight rhythm section but a top-notch horn section, allowing Gaines to cover the blues and soul ground with equal ease. ~ Al ... see all copies from $16.13! new only from $16.13!
21	Atlanta Twelve String (1975) more music like this by Blind Willie McTell add to wishlist In 1949, a brief flurry of interest in old-timey country blues resulted in this 15-song session by Blind Willie McTell for the newly formed Atlantic Records. Only two songs, "Kill It Kid" and "Broke Down Engine Blues," were ever issued on a failed single, and the session was forgotten until almost 20 years later. McTell is mostly solo here, ... see all copies from $5.86! new only from $11.08!
22	Statesboro Blues: The Early Years 1927-1935 (2005) more music like this by Blind Willie McTell add to wishlist Blind Willie McTell is unique among country bluesmen in having a 30-year recording career while remaining essentially an itinerant musician, and during his lifetime he was a familiar sight on the streets of Atlanta and other Southern cities as he performed his varied repertoire of blues, rags, and vaudeville pieces on his 12-string guitar. This ... see all copies from $29.62! new only from $29.62!
23	The Art of Jazz Saxophone: The Masters (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $1.99!
24	Louis Jordan & His Tympani Five [JSP] (2001) more music like this by Jordan Louis & His Tympani Five add to wishlist see all copies from $25.71! new only from $25.71!
25	Shake That Thing: East Coast Blues 1935-1953 (2006) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist JSP's Shake That Thing: East Coast Blues compiles four CD's of performances by country blues pickers Gabriel Brown, Dan Pickett, and Ralph Willis. It's hard to go wrong with these 105 obscure recordings cut between 1935 and 1953. The tracks have been remastered, making the majority of this material sound great. Unlike other packages of this type, ... see all copies from $25.71! new only from $25.71!
