1	The Wheel Man (2007) more music like this by Watermelon Slim and the Workers The blues has always been an enigma. A music that expresses deeply personal emotions, it does so with a well-worn collection of repeated phrases, rhymes, and floating verses that are nothing short of community property. It is also a music of constriction, with a conservative set of stock progressions and riffs that make innovations to the genre ... see all copies from $11.95! new only from $11.95!
2	Giant Step (1968) more music like this by Taj Mahal In less than 24 months, Taj Mahal (guitars/vocals/banjo/harmonica) had issued the equivalent of four respective long players. The electric Giant Step (1968) was released alongside the acoustic and decidedly rural De Ole Folks at Home (1968). The nine cuts on Giant Step feature support from the instrumental trio of Jessie Ed Davis (guitar/keyboards ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $11.06!
3	The Natch'l Blues (1968) more music like this by Taj Mahal Taj Mahal's second album, recorded in the spring and fall of 1968, opens with more stripped-down Delta-style blues in the manner of his debut, but adds a little more amplification (partly courtesy of Al Kooper on organ) before moving into wholly bigger sound on numbers like "She Caught the Katy and Left Me a Mule to Ride" and "The Cuckoo" -- the ... see all copies from $7.49! new only from $11.06!
4	Taj Mahal (1968) more music like this by Taj Mahal Taj Mahal's debut album was a startling statement in its time and has held up remarkably well. Recorded in August of 1967, it was as hard and exciting a mix of old and new blues sounds as surfaced on record in a year when even a lot of veteran blues artists (mostly at the insistence of their record labels) started turning toward psychedelia. The ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $11.06!
5	You Better Run: The Essential Junior Kimbrough (2002) more music like this by Junior Kimbrough Gathering the best of his all-too-brief recording career, You Better Run: The Essential Junior Kimbrough includes most of his best-known songs, including "Done Got Old," "Meet Me in the City," "You Better Run," and "All Night Long." The collection does a good job of representing each of Kimbrough's albums, ranging from the rough-and-ready sound of ... see all copies from $16.07! new only from $16.07!
6	The Real Thing (1972) more music like this by Taj Mahal Taj Mahal followed up Giant Step/De Ole Folks at Home (1969) with another double-disc concert platter whose title pretty much sums up the contents. The Real Thing (1971) is drawn from a mid-February run of shows at the Fillmore East in New York City where he, Spencer Davis, the Chambers Brothers, and Roberta Flack, among others, shared the bill. ... see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
7	Daddy-O Daddy!: Rare Family Songs of Woody Guthrie (2001) more music like this by Various Artists As passionate as dust bowl troubadour Woody Guthrie was about politics and inequality, he was even more passionate about children, particularly his own. It has been long known that Guthrie left behind a wealth of unrecorded and half completed songs while he was living in New York near the end of his life, the most famous of these appearing as ... see all copies from $5.88! new only from $15.11!
8	Worried (1999) more music like this by Asie Payton Asie Payton never released a record in his life, despite the best efforts of Fat Possum. The label spent nearly two years in the middle of the '90s trying to convince the Mississippi bluesman that he should record or gig outside of his home of Washington County. Eventually, the coaxed him into two recording sessions, one at their old studio, the ... see all copies from $12.49! new only from $15.11!
9	Senor Blues (1997) more music like this by Taj Mahal Señor Blues is one of Taj Mahal's best latter-day albums, a rollicking journey through classic blues styles performed with contemporary energy and flair. There's everything from country-blues to jazzy uptown blues on Señor Blues, and Taj hits all of areas in between, including R&B and soul. Stylistically, it's similar to most of his albums, but ... see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
10	Definition of a Circle (2007) more music like this by Otis Taylor see all copies from $15.98! new only from $15.98!
11 view cover	The Essential Taj Mahal (2005) more music like this by Taj Mahal The Essential Taj Mahal pulls together the bluesman's Columbia, Warner, Gramavision Private Music, and Hannibal labels' recordings, making it the first truly cross-licensed compilation of his work. Given the depth and breadth of this set (it covers four decades), the listener gets not only a cross-sectional view of the artist, but also his ... see all copies from $22.14! new only from $22.14!
12 view cover	Phantom Blues (1996) more music like this by Taj Mahal An eclectic bluesman would seem to be a contradiction in terms, but Taj Mahal, who has moved through the worlds of folk, rock, and pop to reach his present categorization, fits the description, and here he takes several pop and R&B oldies that came from blues roots -- "Ooh Poo Pah Doo," "Lonely Avenue," "What Am I Living For?," "Let the Four Winds ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $11.06!
13 view cover	Remember Me (2004) more music like this by Charles Caldwell The story of Charles Caldwell is that of too many bluesmen -- discovered too late. At least the Fat Possum label did find and record him before he died of cancer in September 2003. And there was no doubt this guy could play, whether on his own or accompanied by a drummer. You want raw Mississippi blues? This is it, as electric as R.L. Burnside or ... see all copies from $8.23! new only from $8.49!
14 view cover	Watermelon Slim & the Workers (2006) more music like this by Watermelon Slim & the Workers You could see this one coming. Watermelon Slim's last album, 2004's sparse and arresting Up Close & Personal, revealed a contemporary bluesman with a scholar's understanding of the genre and a truly skewed, passionate approach to performing it that hinted at even deeper possibilities. Watermelon Slim & the Workers is the payoff. The sound on this ... see all copies from $13.37! new only from $13.37!
15 view cover	Respect the Dead (2002) more music like this by Otis Taylor Otis Taylor might well be the best and most inspired of contemporary bluesmen. His White African album was a masterpiece -- which makes the task of following it doubly difficult. With Respect the Dead, however, he does a superb job -- the man is still very much on a roll. Kicking off with the stark, banjo-led "Ten Million Slaves," the intensity ... see all copies from $5.79! new only from $13.56!
16 view cover	Below the Fold (2005) more music like this by Otis Taylor Otis Taylor doesn't suffer fools lightly, and his insistent, hard-driving modal songs, full of defiant reclamations of history and tender vignettes of people struggling to survive in hostile cultural territory, are like nothing else on the contemporary blues scene. Imagine John Lee Hooker if he had grown up in the Appalachians and cut his teeth ... see all copies from $15.98! new only from $15.98!
17 view cover	God Knows I Tried (1998) more music like this by Junior Kimbrough see all copies from $14.76! new only from $14.76!
18 view cover	Hanapepe Dream (2003) more music like this by Taj Mahal & the Hula Blues Recorded in the year 2000 in Bremen and in Hawaii, Hanapepe Dream is ethnomusicologist, guitarist, and composer Taj Mahal's own gumbo of Caribbean, Polynesian, African, and American folk roots styles done up in the glorious dress of "song," for anyone who has ears to hear, feet to shuffle, and an ass to shake. Featuring a large band replete with ... see all copies from $15.98! new only from $15.98!
19 view cover	Shell-Shocked (2006) more music like this by David Junior Kimbrough David Kimbrough, Jr., the son of Junior Kimbrough, started a career following in his father's footsteps, but was derailed by addictions and incarceration for more than a decade before returning to action in 2006 with Shell-Shocked. The album reflects that life experience, as well as the musical heritage passed down from his father. There are also ... see all copies from $3.95! new only from $3.95!
20 view cover	The Best of Taj Mahal [Sony Remaster] (2000) more music like this by Taj Mahal Columbia/Legacy's 2000 collection The Best of Taj Mahal is a first-rate overview of Taj Mahal's classic late-'60s/early-'70s work for Columbia. Spanning 17 tracks, including a previously unreleased cut "Sweet Mama Janisse" from 1970, this hits many of the key points from the records he released between 1967 and 1974, including "Statesboro Blues," ... see all copies from $6.76! new only from $7.98!
21 view cover	Sun Records: Ultimate Blues Collection (2003) more music like this by Various Artists Although Sam Phillips' Sun Records is generally remembered as the rockabilly label that launched the recording career of one Elvis Presley, as well as the careers of Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis, there is a whole lot more to the story than that. Phillips recorded a good deal of straight blues in his studio, and that ... see all copies from $24.33! new only from $24.33!
22 view cover	White African (2001) more music like this by Otis Taylor Otis Taylor has a knack for interesting titles; Blue-Eyed Monster and When Negros Walked the Earth are among the CDs that the Denver bluesman recorded before White African. Taylor also has a knack for very dark and sobering themes -- this 2001 release, in fact, is full of them. On White African, Taylor's subject matter ranges from lynching in the ... see all copies from $13.37! new only from $13.37!
23 view cover	Dancing the Blues (1993) more music like this by Taj Mahal Taj Mahal has always been a more inclusive, eclectic musician than even some admirers understand; his work was never simply or totally blues, even though that strain was at the center and seldom far from anything he performed either. That's the case with this newest collection, a 12-song set that includes splendid covers of Muddy Waters and Howlin ... see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
24 view cover	All Night Long (1992) more music like this by Junior Kimbrough A beautifully packaged edition of Junior Kimbrough's first album, recorded live in the converted church that replaced Kimbrough's original wooden shack juke joint. The lineup is Kimbrough on vocals and guitar, Garry Burnside on bass, and Kenny Malone on drums (it's a family business around this area, and you'll find Burnsides and Malones all over ... see all copies from $14.76! new only from $14.76!
25 view cover	Most Things Haven't Worked Out (1997) more music like this by Junior Kimbrough While this album lacks the revelatory impact of Kimbrough's debut All Night Long, or a hair-raising number like that release's "You Better Run," and it is akin to his debut in both its packaging and its production values. With three of the tracks recorded directly from Junior Kimbrough's Juke Joint, the sound here is absolutely raw; aside from the ... see all copies from $14.83! new only from $15.19!
