1	The Best of Ruth Brown [Rhino] (1996) more music like this by Ruth Brown For those who want a cheaper and more concise collection of her best Atlantic cuts than the two-CD Miss Rhythm, this superb 23-track CD has the cream of her '50s work, including no less than 19 Top Ten R&B singles. Charting her evolution from her jazzy debut, "So Long," through jump blues and early rock & roll, it also adds a bonus of two ... see all copies from $10.71! new only from $10.71!
2	Birthright (2005) more music like this by James Blood Ulmer Since the end of the last decade, James Blood Ulmer has been involved in a conscious investigation of the blues as a force for reinvention. On various labels and with a varying group of musicians, Blood has fused, melded, and strained the genre through everything from funk to psychedelic rock and jazz with mixed but always provocative results. ... see all copies from $7.99! new only from $15.49!

4	Miss Rhythm (Greatest Hits and More) (1990) more music like this by Ruth Brown Before Aretha Franklin was exalted as the Queen of Soul, Ruth Brown was dubbed "Miss Rhythm" -- and with good reason. A gritty, aggressive belter with an impressive range and a powerhouse of a voice, Brown was the top female R&B singer of the early to mid-'50s, and would directly or indirectly have an influence on such greats as Etta James and ... see all copies from $22.68! new only from $33.62!
5	Bands That Can Boogie Woogie (2004) more music like this by Various Artists Boogie-woogie had two major periods of popularity, first in the 1910s and '20s strictly as a solo-piano phenomenon, then during World War II as a large-group style and popular phenomenon. Jasmine's four-disc compilation of boogie-woogie could well have been an exhausting proposition if it had kept only to solo piano players, but since it expands ... see all copies from $27.20! new only from $27.20!
6	The Complete OKeh Sessions 1952-1955 (1994) more music like this by Big Maybelle This collection features Big Maybelle's entire OKeh output -- 26 tracks -- including her three R&B chart items, "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On," and the risqué slow blues "I'm Gettin' 'Long Alright." "Gabbin' Blues," her 1952 OKeh debut smash, is a humorous dialogue between Maybelle and gossiping rival Rose Marie McCoy, the tune's co-writer. ... see all copies from $4.76! new only from $5.11!

8	Blues Guitar Women (2005) more music like this by Various Artists These two discs reflect, in their way, the incredibly rich, varied lineage of women in the blues. And of course, given the title, we're not talking about singers -- though many of these women do sing. With liner notes by Sue Foley, who compiled the set, this collection reaches backward and forward to mirror back to the culture the wild, wooly ... see all copies from $12.71! new only from $15.54!
9	Definitive Soul (2007) more music like this by Ruth Brown Ruth Brown's jazzy, blues-inflected and undeniably sultry voice almost single-handedly built Atlantic Records into a soul and R&B powerhouse in the 1950s, charting some two-dozen singles for the label between 1949 and 1960, the most notable of which are collected in this two-disc set of her Atlantic material. Brown's "So Long" hit almost out of ... see all copies from $9.75! new only from $9.75!
10	Mama He Treats Your Daughter Mean & Other Favorites (1997) more music like this by Ruth Brown Mama He Treats Your Daughter Mean & Other Favorites includes ten R&B classics by Miss Rhythm Ruth Brown originally recorded for Atlantic Records in the 1950s.

The initial excitement these chart-toppers generated are captured on this budget-priced ... see all copies from $2.39! new only from $5.25!

In making their second stop on the legendary studio tour -- Memphis Blood was recorded at Sun -- Ulmer and company move through ... see all copies from $9.95! new only from $12.28!

15 view cover	Redux: Live at the Keystone Korner (2003) more music like this by Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson was one of the most enduring artists who straddled both jazz and blues during his long career. The 2003 release of this previously unreleased live set from a 1979 gig at the Keystone Korner is a great addition to his discography. Playing with what is likely a pickup rhythm section, consisting of pianist Larry Vuckovich, ... see all copies from $12.30! new only from $15.30!

18 view cover	Blow, Arnett, Blow (1959) more music like this by Arnett Cobb Arnett Cobb's debut for Prestige and his first recording as a leader in three years (due to a serious car accident in 1956) is an explosive affair. Cobb is matched up with fellow tough tenor Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, and there are plenty of sparks set off by their encounter.

19 view cover	Kidney Stew [Southland] (1976) more music like this by Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson plays and sings his usual material in this meeting with Ted Easton's five-piece Dutch jazz band.

22 view cover	The Very Best of Lucky Millinder (2005) more music like this by Lucky Millinder Collectables' Very Best Of Lucky Millinder is slightly inferior compared to the chronological volumes on the Classics label as it lacks any recognizable hits.

23 view cover	Savoy Blues Legends: Candy! (1956) more music like this by Big Maybelle The belter moved over to Newark, NJ-based Savoy midway through the decade and continued to prosper: "Candy," "Ramblin' Blues," and the intense "Blues Early, Early" rate with her finest cuts. "Ring Dang Dilly" and "Tell Me Who" rock with the seemingly effortless swing peculiar to New York's R&B scene at the time, thanks to the presence of saxists ... see all copies from $22.21! new only from $30.63!
24 view cover	1954-1956 (2007) more music like this by Ruth Brown They didn't call Atlantic Records "The House That Ruth Built" for nothing -- Ruth Brown was one of the first major stars at America's greatest rhythm and blues label, and she produced some of the strongest and sauciest R&B sides of the 1950s. Brown was well into her peak hitmaking period when the material on this collection was cut -- of the 23 ... see all copies from $11.49! new only from $17.23!
