1	Hoodoo Man Blues (1965) more music like this by Junior Wells 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 $7.56! new only from $10.49!
2	A Bothered Mind (2004) more music like this by R.L. Burnside 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 $14.90! new only from $14.90!
3	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 $13.34! new only from $13.34!
4	Come on In (1998) more music like this by R.L. Burnside see all copies from $6.93! new only from $14.90!
5	The Very Best of John Lee Hooker [Rhino] (1995) more music like this by John Lee Hooker This 16-track collection sweats down Rhino's two-disc anthology to a lean, mean and essential single disc. Here are the earliest recordings that established Hooker as a major blues artist -- "Boogie Chillen," "Hobo Blues," "I'm In the Mood," "Crawlin' Kingsnake," and "Huckle Up Baby" -- and they sound better here than on most other collections, ... see all copies from $5.65! new only from $5.65!
6	A Ass Pocket of Whiskey (1996) more music like this by R.L. Burnside 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 $11.24! new only from $14.90!
7	Not the Same Old Blues Crap, Vol. 2 (2001) more music like this by Various Artists 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 $4.23! new only from $4.23!
8	Big Bad Love (2002) more music like this by Original Soundtrack 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 $7.85! new only from $8.84!
9	Mr. Wizard (1997) more music like this by R.L. Burnside 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 $7.10! new only from $14.43!
10	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 $7.82! new only from $8.49!
11 view cover	First Recordings (2003) more music like this by R.L. Burnside At the time these tracks were cut, 1967 and 1968, R.L. Burnside was working on a plantation in Coldwater, MS, cutting silage. Folklorist George Mitchell was on a mission to record unknown blues singers down South. Mitchell heard about Burnside and paid him a visit, asking if he could record him. That night Mitchell returned to Burnside's place ... see all copies from $16.07! new only from $16.07!
12 view cover	Can't Keep Lovin' You (1989) more music like this by Big Walter Horton Probably from the mid-'70s, this is later Horton, with John Nicholas on guitar and Ron Levy on piano. The album features a variety of material, including a good version of "Hard Hearted Woman." Not vintage, but worth a listen. Michael Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $12.47! new only from $15.49!
13 view cover	Burnside on Burnside (2001) more music like this by R.L. Burnside 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 $14.26! new only from $15.75!
14 view cover	That's My Story (1960) more music like this by John Lee Hooker An acoustic date cut on February 9, 1960, this finds Hooker in top-notch form, running through a dozen performances in his instantly identifiable style. Except for three solo turns, Hooker is ably backed by bassist Sam Jones and drummer Louis Hayes, both wisely following John Lee's idiosyncratic timing and changes. All the tunes are stretched out ... see all copies from $10.80! new only from $10.80!
15 view cover	The Country Blues of John Lee Hooker (1960) more music like this by John Lee Hooker see all copies from $7.87! new only from $7.87!
16 view cover	Sad Days, Lonely Nights (1993) more music like this by Junior Kimbrough If All Night Long was a great electric blues portrait, this sophomore release, given more widespread distribution via Fat Possum's deal with Capricorn, is an extension of the portrait, but with a lot more grit and grind thrown in, given a darker, deeper sound by a change in location (still Kimbrough's joint, but a different building). The vocals ... see all copies from $7.95! new only from $7.95!
17 view cover	Ball n' Chain (1968) more music like this by Big Mama Thornton Arhoolie's Ball n' Chain is a terrific collection of late-'60s recordings from Big Mama Thornton. Supported on various tracks by Lightnin' Hopkins and Larry Williams, Big Mama runs through such familiar items as "Hound Dog," "Sometimes I Have a Heartache," "Sweet Little Angel," "Little Red Rooster," "Wade in the Water," and "Ball and Chain," ... see all copies from $11.09! new only from $15.33!
18 view cover	Boogie Chillun [Charly] (1972) more music like this by John Lee Hooker see all copies from $8.00! new only from $26.46!
19 view cover	Not the Same Old Blues Crap, Vol. 3 (2004) more music like this by Various Artists 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 $5.51! new only from $6.29!
20 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 $15.19! new only from $15.19!
21 view cover	Hey Bo Diddley: A Tribute! (2002) more music like this by Various Artists A nice idea -- although a better, more eclectic tribute can be found on Rhino's Bo Diddley Beats compilation, released a decade earlier. Hey Bo Diddley: A Tribute! follows in the celebrated '90s tradition of corralling established blues and rock talents and letting them pay homage to their heroes in the studio, often with the help of a common ... see all copies from $14.59! new only from $14.59!
22 view cover	Now You Can Talk About Me (1998) more music like this by George Harmonica Smith Now You Can Talk About Me collects mid- and late-period Smith, with the harmonica genius' '60s sides for the microscopic imprint Sotoplay sampled on the first five cuts. The remainder of the album is from a 1982 session for the Murray Brothers label with Rod Piazza behind the board, which produced the Boogie'n with George album. Also included are ... see all copies from $15.28! new only from $15.28!
23 view cover	God Knows I Tried (1998) more music like this by Junior Kimbrough see all copies from $15.08! new only from $15.08!
24 view cover	The Excello Singles Anthology (2003) more music like this by Slim Harpo 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 $19.52! new only from $19.52!
25 view cover	The Best of John Lee Hooker 1965-1974 (1992) more music like this by John Lee Hooker 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 $5.00! new only from $8.66!
