1	Burnside on Burnside (2001) more music like this by R.L. Burnside add to wishlist Like jazz, blues music has faced a problem of attrition, with its major names dying off and younger artists having trouble establishing themselves at anything like an equal level of recognition. One way out of this dilemma has been the discovery of new-old bluesmen, musicians who have reached an advanced age without becoming stars, who can now be ... see all copies from $13.31! new only from $13.31!
2	Hoodoo Man Blues [Bonus Tracks] (1965) more music like this by Junior Wells' Chicago Blues Band add to wishlist One of the truly classic blues albums of the 1960s, and one of the first to fully document the smoky ambience of a night at a West Side nightspot in the superior acoustics of a recording studio. Wells just set up with his usual cohorts -- guitarist Buddy Guy (billed as "Friendly Chap" on first vinyl pressings), bassist Jack Myers, and drummer ... see all copies from $20.84! new only from $20.84!
3	A Ass Pocket of Whiskey (1996) more music like this by R.L. Burnside add to wishlist Although he had been playing for years, it wasn't until the 1990s that R.L. Burnside's raw electrified Delta blues were heard by a wide audience. His new fans celebrated his wild, unbridled energy, so it made sense for him to team with the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, the warped indie rock band that's all about energy. However, the very purists ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $10.64!
4	The Best of John Lee Hooker 1965-1974 (1992) more music like this by John Lee Hooker add to wishlist MCA's The Best of John Lee Hooker has a misleading title. All of the 16 selections are taken from his recordings for ABC, which were made at the end of the '60s and beginning of the '70s. During this time, his producers were experimenting with his sound, adding contemporary sonic touches like funk rhythms and wah-wah pedals. Needless to say, this ... see all copies from $3.29! new only from $6.93!
5	Not the Same Old Blues Crap, Vol. 3 (2004) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Fat Possum established themselves with the raw, hypnotic Mississippi electric blues of folks like the late, great Junior Kimbrough and R.L. Burnside, but that isn't their only stock in trade, as evidenced by their third label compilation, Not the Same Old Blues Crap, Vol. 3. R.L. Burnside appears a couple times, once in a nice acoustic setting and ... see all copies from $4.47! new only from $5.34!
6	Hoodoo Man Blues (1965) more music like this by Junior Wells' Chicago Blues Band add to wishlist One of the truly classic blues albums of the 1960s, and one of the first to fully document the smoky ambience of a night at a West Side nightspot in the superior acoustics of a recording studio. Wells just set up with his usual cohorts -- guitarist Buddy Guy (billed as "Friendly Chap" on first vinyl pressings), bassist Jack Myers, and drummer ... see all copies from $9.33! new only from $9.33!
7	Come on In (1998) more music like this by R.L. Burnside add to wishlist see all copies from $10.42! new only from $10.42!
8	The Definitive Collection [Hip-O] (2006) more music like this by John Lee Hooker add to wishlist 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 $10.54! new only from $10.54!
9	A Bothered Mind (2004) more music like this by R.L. Burnside add to wishlist When R.L. Burnside and the rest of the Fat Possum confederation emerged from the northern Mississippi hills in the early '90s, they gave contemporary blues a much-needed shot in the ass, reminding everyone that the genre really wasn't so much about pyrotechnic guitar histrionics as it was about getting folks to hit the dancefloor, and once there, ... see all copies from $10.65! new only from $10.65!
10	Blues Masters, Vol. 4: Harmonica Classics (1992) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Vol. 4: Harmonica Classics is a typically ace installment of the Blues Masters series has examples par excellence from most of the major electric blues harmonica geniuses, including Little Walter, Junior Wells, Sonny Boy Williamson, James Cotton, Paul Butterfield, Billy Boy Arnold, Lazy Lester, and Jimmy Reed. And while there are a few expected ... see all copies from $5.08! new only from $8.54!
11	Acoustic Stories (1997) more music like this by R.L. Burnside add to wishlist R.L. Burnside is notorious for his gritty, greasy Delta blues, as each of his records since his 1991 discovery have been blistering electric recordings. That's what makes Acoustic Stories so refreshing. Recorded at New York City in 1988 with harp player John Neremberg, the album balances originals with a handful of well-selected covers, including ... see all copies from $13.37! new only from $13.37!
12	The Country Blues of John Lee Hooker (1960) more music like this by John Lee Hooker add to wishlist see all copies from $6.75! new only from $6.75!
13	The Best of Slim Harpo [Hip-O] (1997) more music like this by Slim Harpo add to wishlist 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 $7.63! new only from $7.63!
14	Too Bad Jim (1994) more music like this by R.L. Burnside add to wishlist Too Bad Jim is cut from the same cloth as its predecessor, Bad Luck City. It features R.L. Burnside fronting a small juke joint combo, tearing through some greasy blues. However, Too Bad Jim is the better album, simply from a performance standpoint. Burnside sounds more relaxed and the band steps back from the spotlight slightly, letting the ... see all copies from $2.68! new only from $11.99!
15	The Excello Singles Anthology (2003) more music like this by Slim Harpo add to wishlist Slim Harpo brought a good bit of the Louisiana swamp vibe with him when he recorded these immortal singles for Jay Miller's Nashville-based Excello Records in the early '60s, and the rustic, laconic way these recordings unfold, aided and abetted by Miller's trademark echo-laden production, makes them singular even inside the Excello stable. This ... see all copies from $14.72! new only from $14.72!
16	Big Bad Love (2002) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist The soundtrack to the movie Big Bad Love, made from Larry Brown's collection of stories is, as it should be, a very Southern affair -- more accurately, a thing of the Mississippi hill country, also acting as a very effective ad for the Fat Possum label, since seven of the tracks here come from their artists. Fine stuff it is too, with R.L. ... see all copies from $8.95! new only from $17.49!
17	All Night Long (1992) more music like this by Junior Kimbrough & the Soul Blues Boys add to wishlist 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 $2.99! new only from $13.59!
18	Mr. Wizard (1997) more music like this by R.L. Burnside add to wishlist While it's not quite as relentlessly exciting as Ass Pocket of Whiskey, primarily because the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion isn't along to provide support, Mr. Wizard is another set of blistering electric blues from R.L. Burnside, highlighted by his stomping guitar, powerful voice and cheerfully vulgar lyrics. ~ Thom Owens, All Music Guide see all copies from $9.37! new only from $9.37!
19	Remember Me (2004) more music like this by Charles Caldwell add to wishlist 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 $7.75! new only from $7.75!
20	Well Well Well (2001) more music like this by R.L. Burnside add to wishlist At first glance, this archival collection may appear to be too much of a hodgepodge. The recording dates range from 1986 to 1993; the locations range from a large theater in The Hague to a shotgun house in New Orleans; the lineups range from solo performances by Burnside to trio sessions with Jon Morris and Calvin Jackson; and the songs range from ... see all copies from $13.80! new only from $13.80!
21	How Many More Years I Got (1962) more music like this by Lightnin' Hopkins add to wishlist Repackaging of three earlier albums, Walkin' This Road by Myself, Lightnin' & Co. and Smokes like Lightnin'. Lightnin' plays electric with small band support on these sides, which probably come the closest to what he sounded like in the juke joints around Houston in the early '60s. ~ Cub Koda, All Music Guide see all copies from $5.50! new only from $14.99!
22	The Last of the Jelly Roll Kings (2007) more music like this by Frank Frost/Sam Carr add to wishlist Guitarist and harmonica player Frank Frost was essentially an Arkansas version of Jimmy Reed when he hooked up with drummer Sam Carr in the early '50s. Carr, the son of bluesman Robert Nighthawk, and Frost worked in Nighthawk's band for several years before striking out as a duo in the early '60s, and when they added guitar player and bassist Jack ... see all copies from $13.27! new only from $13.27!
23	Not the Same Old Blues Crap, Vol. 2 (2001) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist It worked the first time around, so why not a second offering of Not the Same Old Blues Crap? For volume two, Fat Possum has patched together another riveting collection of hypnotic boogies, wailing guitars, and Mississippi moans -- but lo and behold, there's also a tender side to this album that may surprise both fans and critics of the label. ... see all copies from $3.26! new only from $3.79!
24	Keep Yourself Together (1996) more music like this by Frank Frost with Sam Carr add to wishlist This is a nicely put together -- if rather unexceptional -- set with Frost's vocal and harp ably supported by his long-time drummer Sam Carr, producer Fred James on guitar and Bob Kommersmith on string bass. While nothing on here burns with the smoldering intensity of his early Sun-Phillips International sides or his later sessions for Jewel, a ... see all copies from $8.34! new only from $8.34!
25	Big Mama Thornton in Europe (1965) more music like this by Big Mama Thornton add to wishlist Willie Mae "Big Mama" Thornton was part of the American Folk Blues Festival revue which toured Europe in 1965, so when it was time to record this session on October 20 at Wessex Studio in London, she had a crack impromptu blues band at her disposal, including a young Buddy Guy on guitar, Fred Below on drums, Eddie Boyd on piano and organ, and ... see all copies from $8.87! new only from $8.87!
