1	In Step (1989) more music like this by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble Stevie Ray Vaughan had always been a phenomenal guitarist, but prior to In Step, his songwriting was hit or miss. Even when he wrote a classic modern blues song, it was firmly within the genre's conventions; only on Soul to Soul's exquisite soul-blues "Life Without You" did he attempt to stretch the boundaries of the form. As it turns out, that ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.68!
2	Live at the Regal (1965) more music like this by B.B. King B.B. King is not only a timeless singer and guitarist, he's also a natural-born entertainer, and on Live at the Regal the listener is treated to an exhibition of all three of his talents. Over percolating horn hits and rolling shuffles, King treats an enthusiastic audience (at some points, they shriek after he delivers each line) to a collection ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $7.99!
3	The Chess Box (1990) more music like this by Muddy Waters The Chess Box does not contain all the great music Muddy Waters made. His talent and legacy are too large to be captured in a mere three discs, even one that spans from 1947 to 1972. This means, of course, that his legendary plantation recordings with Alan Lomax are not here, nor is his dynamic late-'70s comeback, Hard Again. But, truth be told, ... see all copies from $33.00! new only from $38.76!
4	Come on In (1998) more music like this by R.L. Burnside see all copies from $9.64! new only from $11.56!
5	10 Days Out (Blues from the Backroads) (2007) more music like this by Kenny Wayne Shepherd 10 Days Out may well be Kenny Wayne Shepherd's most important and intriguing album, even though the guitarist is hardly the featured artist on any of these tracks, working instead more as a sideman and facilitator for the impressive cast of venerable blues players who get a chance to shine here. Make no mistake about it, this recording belongs to ... see all copies from $15.99! new only from $21.94!
6	West Side Soul (1967) more music like this by Magic Sam To call West Side Soul one of the great blues albums, one of the key albums (if not the key album) of modern electric blues is all true, but it tends to diminish and academicize Magic Sam's debut album. This is the inevitable side effect of time, when an album that is decades old enters the history books, but this isn't an album that should be ... see all copies from $8.87! new only from $10.42!
7	Texas Flood (1983) more music like this by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble It's hard to overestimate the impact Stevie Ray Vaughan's debut, Texas Flood, had upon its release in 1983. At that point, blues was no longer hip, the way it was in the '60s. Texas Flood changed all that, climbing into the Top 40 and spending over half a year on the charts, which was practically unheard of for a blues recording. Vaughan became a ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.83!
8	Greatest Hits [MCA] (1998) more music like this by B.B. King There's more than one B.B. King best-of out on the racks, but this 1998 issue, Greatest Hits [MCA], updates his chart achievements and puts them together in a modern, 16-track package for both the novice and casual modern blues listener. Kicking off with a pair of tunes from the influential Live at the Regal album ("Sweet Little Angel," "Everyday ... see all copies from $9.78! new only from $9.78!
9	Blue Yule: Christmas Blues and R&B Classics (1991) more music like this by Various Artists A stellar 18-song compilation with most tracks not duplicated on other in-print collections. Treasures abound here: rare tracks from John Lee Hooker and Lightnin' Hopkins, Hop Wilson's original "Merry Christmas, Darling" (covered by The Fabulous Thunderbirds on An Austin Rhythm & Blues Christmas), Louis Jordan's last recording ("Santa Claus, Santa ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $15.58!
10	The Definitive Collection [Hip-O] (2006) more music like this by John Lee Hooker What can be said about yet another John Lee Hooker greatest-hits collection!? Not only is the music consumer loaded down with these discs, but frankly, most are very similar in content. The main thing to look for when purchasing a compilation of "The Hook" is a trust worthy label. Hip-O's Definitive Collection provides one such example, complete ... see all copies from $10.92! new only from $13.34!
11 view cover	Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar Masters Collection, Vol. 2 (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Featuring the languid, tropical sounds of the slack key guitar, Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar Masters Collection, Vol. 2 picks up where the best-selling first volume left off. This collection includes songs by artists like Keola Beamer, Sonny Chillingworth, Led Kaapana, Ray Kane, and Dennis Kamakahi. Heather Phares, All Music Guide see all copies from $8.55! new only from $11.06!
12 view cover	The Very Best of Canned Heat [Capitol] (2005) more music like this by Canned Heat With the glut of Canned Heat compilations available, what makes this 19-song Capitol/EMI release better than the rest? For starters, the previously unreleased track "Henry's Shuffle," featuring guitarist Henry Vestine and recorded in 1968, which was undoubtedly the zenith year for the band; the inclusion of "Low Down (And High Up)"; the rare ... see all copies from $9.78! new only from $14.38!
13 view cover	A New Day Yesterday Live (2002) more music like this by Joe Bonamassa Something of an odd release, A New Day Yesterday Live documents the final date of a 60-day jaunt during blues guitar prodigy Joe Bonamassa's 2001 tour in support of his major-label debut bearing the same title, and (this is the odd part), released just a few months earlier. Just why his record company felt the need for it, then, is up for grabs ... see all copies from $9.71! new only from $13.16!
14 view cover	The Sky Is Crying: The History of Elmore James (1993) more music like this by Elmore James With the confusing plethora of Elmore James discs out on the market, this is truly the place to start, featuring the best of his work culled from several labels. Highlights include James' original recording of "Dust My Broom," "It Hurts Me Too," "T.V. Mama" (with Elmore backing Big Joe Turner), and the title track, one of the best slow blues ever ... see all copies from $6.50! new only from $9.20!
15 view cover	Hard Again [Expanded] (2004) more music like this by Muddy Waters The importance of Muddy Waters' 1977 album Hard Again cannot be overstated, and its place as a near universal favorite in the Muddy Waters catalog is no mistake. Recorded in the last decade of his life, Hard Again was the first studio collaboration between Waters and guitarist Johnny Winter, who acted as producer on his last four recordings -- the ... see all copies from $6.56! new only from $9.61!
16 view cover	SRV (2000) more music like this by Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble If you're gonna put out a box set that really offers something to the devoted fans of an artist -- who are, after all, probably bound to have much or all of the artist's other records already if they're interesting in buying a box set to begin with -- this four-CD package is the way to do it. It's not so much a best-of or career retrospective as a ... see all copies from $21.99! new only from $49.20!
17 view cover	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Blues Guitar (2003) more music like this by Various Artists 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Blues Guitar collects 12 remastered tracks from the vaults of Chess, Duke, Deram, and BluesWay Records. This package includes classic performances from such legends as Muddy Waters, Elmore James, Bo Diddley, Howlin' Wolf, Buddy Guy, and John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton. ... see all copies from $3.75! new only from $6.85!
18 view cover	His Best (Chess 50th Anniversary Collection) (1997) more music like this by Little Walter As MCA reconfigures their Chess catalog, this 20-track single-disc compilation now takes the place of their original 12-track Best of Little Walter collection, a landmark blues album which had remained in print for over three decades. His Best (Chess 50th Anniversary Collection) reprises ten of those seminal tracks (leaving off the echoey "Blue ... see all copies from $7.44! new only from $8.34!
19 view cover	Breakin' It Up & Breakin' It Down (2007) more music like this by Muddy Waters/Johnny Winter/James Cotton In March 1977, Muddy Waters, Johnny Winter, and James Cotton did a concert tour together in support of Waters' then-recent Hard Again LP, on which Winter had played guitar (as well as produced) and Cotton had played harmonica. This CD, not released until about 30 years later, has an hour of music drawn from three different shows on the tour. It ... see all copies from $10.37! new only from $10.61!
20 view cover	The Best of Slim Harpo [Hip-O] (1997) more music like this by Slim Harpo There have been many Slim Harpo best-ofs available over the years, some frustratingly incomplete. This one gets all the chart hits together with several of the obscure singles like "Wonderin' and Worryin'," "Strange Love," "One More Day," and "You'll Be Sorry One Day," along with album tracks like "Snoopin' Around" and "Blues Hangover." Transfers ... see all copies from $7.44! new only from $8.66!
21 view cover	Howlin' Wolf/Moanin' in the Moonlight (1986) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf Howlin' Wolf's first and second Chess albums are essential listening of the highest order. They were compiled -- as were all early blues albums -- from various single sessions (not necessarily a bad thing, either), and blues fans will probably debate endlessly about which of the two albums is the perfect introduction to his music. But this CD ... see all copies from $7.44! new only from $8.34!
22 view cover	The Anthology: 1947-1972 (2001) more music like this by Muddy Waters There have been countless collections of Muddy Waters' classic Chess material released over the years, but Chess began to whittle down the domestic catalog toward the late '90s. The triple-disc Chess box remained in print, but they added two single-disc collections that each covered a specific period in Waters' career at Chess. Then, in 2001, MCA ... see all copies from $26.61! new only from $26.61!
23 view cover	Essential Collection: The Classic Cobra Recordings 1956-1958 (2000) more music like this by Otis Rush The title says it all. This is the essential Otis Rush, the singles recorded for Eli Toscano's Cobra label between 1956 and 1958. If Rush had never recorded another note, his legendary status would remain intact based solely on these recordings. Backed by players like Willie Dixon and Little Walter, it's Rush's impassioned vocals and stinging ... see all copies from $11.76! new only from $14.56!
24 view cover	Pure Blues (2001) more music like this by Various Artists The "pure" in the Pure series initially suggested the unadulterated, soothing dulcet tones of new age in the Pure Moods discs, but as the series took off, Universal Music realized they had a real marketable brand name here, so they decided to use it for different genres. The one thing that all the collections shared was that they were exceptional ... see all copies from $13.42! new only from $13.42!
25 view cover	The Chess Box (1991) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf This three-CD box set currently rates as the best -- and most digestible -- overview of Howlin' Wolf's career. Disc one starts with the Memphis sides that eventually brought him to the label, including hits like "How Many More Years," but also compiling unissued sides that had previously only been available on vinyl bootlegs of dubious origin and ... see all copies from $36.77! new only from $37.35!
