1	The Classic Years 1927-1940 (2003) more music like this by Blind Willie McTell There are some box sets that seem like overkill, beyond the pale for all but the very most hardcore fans, and others -- a little more obvious in their justification -- that never achieve much currency beyond the ranks of the serious fans and as easy Christmas ideas for their relatives. And then there are the ones that, based on the sheer ... see all copies from $22.83! new only from $30.88!
2	Songs That Got Us Through WW2, Vol. 2 (1994) more music like this by Various Artists 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 $12.85! new only from $16.23!
3	Further Definitions (1961) more music like this by Benny Carter & His Orchestra 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 $1.99! new only from $13.71!
4	The Best of Louis Jordan [MCA] (1977) more music like this by Louis Jordan This is a best-of CD collection that actually lives up to its name. Virtually all of Louis Jordan's hits, which musically bridged the gap between small-group swing, R&B, and rock & roll, are on this single CD, including "Choo Choo Ch'Boogie," "Let the Good Times Roll," "Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens," "Saturday Night Fish Fry," "Caldonia," ... see all copies from $2.75! new only from $8.34!
5	The New Scene of King Curtis (1960) more music like this by King Curtis At first glance, this would appear to be a CD reissue well worth picking up. R&B tenor saxophonist King Curtis is heard in a rare jazz outing, holding his own with cornetist Nat Adderley (in prime form), pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Oliver Jackson on four originals and "Willow Weep for Me." But the single-CD Soul ... see all copies from $6.84! new only from $10.35!
6	Midnight Special (1978) more music like this by Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee see all copies from $16.90! new only from $16.90!
7	Dirty Blues (2000) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $8.71! new only from $11.68!
8	The Folkways Years (1945-1959) (1991) more music like this by Brownie McGhee Folkways Years (1945-1959) is a wonderful 17-track compilation of Brownie McGhee's Folkways recordings. During this time, McGhee became a staple on the blues-folk revival circuit, and accordingly these recordings find the Piedmont bluesman playing in a folk style, which he excelled at. Many of the most powerful tracks are straight from the rural ... see all copies from $10.12! new only from $14.78!
9	Remastered 1935-1938 (2004) more music like this by Blind Boy Fuller Following Blind Blake, Blind Boy Fuller is probably the best known of the so-called Piedmont blues guitarists, a loose group of players from the Appalachian foothills of North Carolina, South Carolina, and upper Georgia who specialized in a flashy two- and three-finger picking style. Fuller was hardly in Blake's league, but his simple, crisp ... see all copies from $23.04! new only from $30.93!
10	Sonny & Brownie at Sugar Hill (1961) more music like this by Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee Sonny & Brownie at Sugar Hill is a live album recorded at the famous San Francisco nightclub. The two musicians were in fine form, with both getting chances to sing some of their standards, including "Sweet Woman Blues," "Born to Live the Blues," "Baby, I Knocked on Your Door," and "I Got a Little Girl." Their interplay is always a joy to hear, ... see all copies from $7.18! new only from $10.38!
11 view cover	The Best of King Curtis [Capitol #1] (1962) more music like this by King Curtis Best of King Curtis collects the bulk of King Curtis' singles for Capitol, plus selected album tracks. Although he didn't have many hits while on Capitol -- only "Soul Serenade" hit the charts -- this collection demonstrates the depths of Curtis' talents, showcasing his stabs at jazz and blues in addition to his trademark R&B. Instant Soul remains ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $10.79!
12 view cover	Louis Jordan & His Tympani Five [JSP] (2001) more music like this by Jordan Louis & His Tympani Five see all copies from $25.23! new only from $25.71!
13 view cover	Last Session (1960) more music like this by Blind Willie McTell 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 $7.56! new only from $11.38!
14 view cover	Blues Is Truth (1996) more music like this by Brownie McGhee Brownie McGhee was 60 when Blues Is Truth (reissued on CD by Concord's Blues Alliance label in 1996) was recorded in White Plains, N.Y. in 1976, and the veteran bluesman was still a powerful, authoritative singer. Although not quite in a class with McGhee's magnificent work with Sonny Terry in the 1950s and '60s, Truth is a consistently appealing ... see all copies from $13.77! new only from $16.19!
15 view cover	An Introduction to Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee (2006) more music like this by Sonny Terry & Brownie McGee Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee made their first recording together in 1941, and became the longest-running blues duo in memory, stringing out nearly 40 years of recordings and gigs until their gradually emerging distaste for each other finally proved insurmountable and brought an end to the musical partnership. Although they recorded in a ... see all copies from $9.40! new only from $11.14!
16 view cover	The Wildest! [Expanded] (2002) more music like this by Louis Prima 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 $7.90! new only from $10.79!
17 view cover	Great Sax (1995) more music like this by Sil Austin see all copies from $7.13! new only from $8.29!
18 view cover	Brubeck & Rushing (1960) more music like this by Dave Brubeck Quartet Featuring Jimmy Rushing Although associated with the more modern styles of jazz, Brubeck always had a great respect (if not reverence) for the masters of the past. On ten standards Brubeck, altoist Paul Desmond and the Quartet fit in perfectly behind the great swing/blues singer Jimmy Rushing who sounds rejuvenated by the fresh setting. This disc, a surprising success, ... see all copies from $9.47! new only from $11.06!
19 view cover	Classic Blues from Smithsonian Folkways (2003) more music like this by Various Artists 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 $8.81! new only from $11.05!
20 view cover	The Red Robin & Fire Years (1990) more music like this by Tarheel Slim & Little Ann Slim was quite an eclectic soul during his 1950s tenure with Bobby Robinson's Red Robin and Fire imprints (as this set conclusively shows). New York blues, pop/R&B duets with Little Ann, even blistering rockabilly-tinged outings ("Number 9 Train," and "Wildcat Tamer") were all well within the versatile guitarist's stylistic scope. Bill Dahl, All ... see all copies from $9.10! new only from $10.28!
21 view cover	Classic Blues from Smithsonian Folkways, Vol. 2 (2003) more music like this by Various Artists Like the first volume, this brings together a lengthy single-disc program of blues of various shades from the vaults of Folkways. Most, though not all, of these 22 tracks are acoustic, with acoustic guitar blues being well represented with selections from Leadbelly, Pink Anderson, Son House, Honeyboy Edwards, Big Bill Broonzy, Lightnin' Hopkins, ... see all copies from $9.46! new only from $10.70!
22 view cover	The Platinum Collection (2007) more music like this by King Curtis King Curtis and his bubbling, stutter-style tenor sax playing brought a touch of jazz and a whole ton of R&B to countless rock & roll tracks in the early '60s, and his funky edge is one of the reasons records by the Coasters, for instance, continue to sound good 40 years later. This collection brings together a set of late-'60s tracks Curtis ... see all copies from $5.22! new only from $13.34!
23 view cover	Bill Wyman's Blues Odyssey (2001) more music like this by Various Artists English musicians listened and learned from the blues long before their American counterparts did. In fact, the Rolling Stones and the Yarbirds covered classic blues material, re-introducing Americans to their own music. Now Document has given Bill Wyman the opportunity to trace his romance with the blues over a two-disc set, beginning with Mamie ... see all copies from $21.99! new only from $21.99!
24 view cover	Pig 'n Whistle Red [2003] (2003) more music like this by Blind Willie McTell This set from Sony reissues the Blind Willie McTell Library of Congress 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 ... see all copies from $9.27! new only from $12.22!
25 view cover	Honkers & Bar Walkers, Vol. 2 (1992) more music like this by Various Artists Founded in 1944, New York-based Apollo Records was home for a time to an impressive roster of artists, including saxophonists Coleman Hawkins, Arnett Cobb, and Illinois Jacquet. Honkers & Bar Walkers, Vol. 2, a compilation of meat-and-potatoes blues, blues-based swing, R&B, and some early rock & roll, is one of a series of reissues by Delmark of ... see all copies from $7.48! new only from $10.26!
