1	At Last! (1961) more music like this by Etta James add to wishlist After spending a few years in limbo after scoring her first R&B hits "Dance With Me, Henry" and "Good Rocking Daddy," Etta James returned to the spotlight in 1960 with her first Chess release, At Last. James made both the R&B and pop charts with the album's title cut, "All I Could Do Was Cry," and "Trust in Me." What makes At Last a great album is ... see all copies from $4.19! new only from $6.93!
2	Strong Persuader (1986) more music like this by Robert Cray add to wishlist The set that made Cray a pop star, despite its enduring blues base. Cray's smoldering stance on "Smoking Gun" and "Right Next Door" rendered him the first sex symbol to emerge from the blues field in decades, but it was his innovative expansion of the genre itself that makes this album a genuine 1980s classic. "Nothing but a Woman" boasts an ... see all copies from $2.93! new only from $7.61!
3	Love Songs [MCA] (2001) more music like this by Etta James add to wishlist Drawn almost entirely from her Argo/Chess recordings of the '60s (although there are some cuts from the early '70s), Love Songs is a fine selection of romantic music from one of the greatest blues singers of her generation. There are hits here, highlighted by "At Last," but mood overrules chart position, so these 14 songs wind up setting a ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.65!
4	Martin Scorsese Presents the Blues: The Best of the Blues (2003) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist A massive media campaign comprising seven documentary films broadcast on public television and released as a DVD box set, plus accompanying soundtrack albums, a 13-part radio series, a companion book, 12 individual artist compilations, and a five-CD box set, The Blues, executive produced by filmmaker Martin Scorsese, threatened to be even more all ... see all copies from $6.42! new only from $15.32!
5	The Definitive Collection (2006) more music like this by Etta James add to wishlist Whoa. There are many Etta James collections out there. The standard-bearers thus far have been the Chess Box and the Essential Etta James. This set attempts to do something else and goes deep into her catalog to dig out the gems from her years with Modern, Argo, Cadet, Chess, Warner Brothers, Island, and Private Music/BMG, and presents the full ... see all copies from $11.52! new only from $11.52!
6	In Session (1999) more music like this by Albert King & Stevie Ray Vaughan add to wishlist Recorded in December 1983, In Session captures an in-concert jam between Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan, the latter of whom had become the hot blues guitarist of the year thanks to his debut Texas Flood, as well as his work on David Bowie's hit Let's Dance. Vaughan may have been the new news, but King was not suffering, either. He had a world ... see all copies from $5.97! new only from $15.15!
7	King of the Blues Guitar (1969) more music like this by Albert King add to wishlist Atlantic's original vinyl edition of this was comprised of Albert's Stax singles -- a few from Born Under a Bad Sign, along with "Cold Feet," "I Love Lucy" (two of King's patented monologues), and the beautiful "You're Gonna Need Me." Great stuff. Even greater, though, is the CD reissue, which includes those singles (which didn't appear on any ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $5.40!
8	Born Under a Bad Sign [Stax] (1967) more music like this by Albert King add to wishlist Albert King recorded a lot in the early '60s, including some classic sides, but they never quite hit the mark. They never gained a large audience, nor did they really capture the ferocity of his single-string leads. Then he signed with Stax in 1966 and recorded a number of sessions with the house band, Booker T. & the MG's, and everything just ... see all copies from $9.12! new only from $9.12!
9	Alligator Records 35X35 (2006) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist After 35 years and the release of over 2800 contemporary blues tracks, it's safe to say that Bruce Iglauer's Alligator Records is the world's premier blues label, particularly if sheer numbers are factored in, and while the label's releases tend to sound mind-numbingly similar sometimes, this two-disc overview of Alligator's history shows how much ... see all copies from $14.49! new only from $14.49!
10	Best of B.B. King: 20th Century Masters/The Christmas Collection (2003) more music like this by B.B. King add to wishlist This edition in Universal's discount-priced compilation series 20th Century Masters/The Christmas Collection is actually a re-titled reissue of the 2001 collection A Christmas Celebration of Hope. It took B.B. King a long time to get around to his first Christmas album, which didn't appear until about half a century into his recording career. It's ... see all copies from $8.59! new only from $8.59!
11	Pure Blues (2001) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist 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 $10.57! new only from $10.57!
12	Etta James Rocks the House (1964) more music like this by Etta James add to wishlist Simply one of the greatest live blues albums ever captured on tape. Cut in 1963 at the New Era Club in Nashville, the set finds Etta James in stellar shape as she forcefully delivers her own "Something's Got a Hold on Me" and "Seven Day Fool" interspersed with a diet of sizzling covers ("What'd I Say," "Sweet Little Angel," "Money," "Ooh Poo Pah ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $7.65!
13	Greatest Hits, Vol. 2: The ABC-Dunhill/MCA Recordings (1998) more music like this by Bobby "Blue" Bland add to wishlist Subtitled The ABC-Dunhill/MCA Recordings, this picks up the last tenure of Bobby "Blue" Bland working under the corporate MCA umbrella. With tunes aboard from various albums and singles, this 16-track collection covers the highlights from his 1970s period, with only 1982's "Recess in Heaven" falling outside the time frame. Bland was a much ... see all copies from $7.65! new only from $7.65!
14	State of Grace (2007) more music like this by The Holmes Brothers add to wishlist The Holmes Brothers do what they do supremely well, taking all sorts of music and making it into gospel -- a sort of musical equivalent of alchemy. There's more of it here, plenty of their own material, but with some absolutely glorious covers. They utterly re-imagine Cheap Trick's perky "I Want You to Want Me" as a piece of '50s gospel, make ... see all copies from $15.70! new only from $15.70!
15	The Ultimate Collection (2005) more music like this by B.B. King add to wishlist In theory, the idea behind Geffen's 2005 compilation The Ultimate Collection seems sound: gather together 21 iconic tracks from the entirety of B.B. King's long career and present them on one handy disc. While there have been plenty of King comps throughout the years -- some great, some merely passable, but often all very good -- there has never ... see all copies from $11.47! new only from $11.47!
16	Blues Classics: Millennium Collection - 20th Century Masters (2003) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist There is no doubt that all of the tracks on this collection are indeed blues classics. B.B. King's "The Thrill Is Gone," Muddy Waters' "Got My Mojo Working," and Big Mama Thornton's "Hound Dog" are just three of the signature songs found here. With so many blues anthologies on the market, though, this compilation suffers for its brief length, and ... see all copies from $6.93! new only from $6.93!
17	The Essential Etta James (1993) more music like this by Etta James add to wishlist The Essential Etta James comprises 44 tracks summarizing the long and brilliant Chess tenure of "Miss Peaches," Etta James, opening with her 1960 smash "All I Could Do Was Cry," and encompassing her torchy, fully orchestrated ballads "At Last," "My Dearest Darling," and "Trust in Me," and continuing on through her 1962 gospel-rocker "Something's ... see all copies from $19.99! new only from $22.35!
18	His Definitive Greatest Hits (1999) more music like this by B.B. King add to wishlist see all copies from $19.99! new only from $19.99!
19	Her Best (1997) more music like this by Etta James add to wishlist While several best-ofs from Etta James' Chess period have been available over the years -- with the two-disc, 44-track Essential Etta James at the top of the list in giving the big picture -- this 20-track collection sweats that bigger picture down to bare essentials. For those wishing to finally sample Etta's classic period at Chess without ... see all copies from $4.95! new only from $13.48!
20	Chess Blues Classics: 1957-1967 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This second volume of a two-volume entry in MCA's Chess 50th Anniversary reissue series chronicles the second decade of blues classics produced by the landmark company. Although Chess' big four (Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, and Sonny Boy Williamson) are all finely represented, influential sides by Elmore James ("Madison Blues"), Otis ... see all copies from $5.75! new only from $6.93!
21	The Definitive Collection (1992) more music like this by The Blues Brothers add to wishlist It isn't exactly difficult to scoff at the Blues Brothers -- beginning your musical career as a sketch on Saturday Night Live is not the best way to develop artistic credibility, and while Elwood Blues wasn't too shabby a harp player, his brother, Joliet Jake, sang only marginally better than that guy who used to impersonate Joe Cocker on late ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $5.82!
22	Take Your Shoes Off (1999) more music like this by Robert Cray add to wishlist It's evident right from the start that Robert Cray's aiming for a Memphis soul groove on Take Your Shoes Off. Willie Mitchell of Hi Records fame co-wrote and did the horn arrangements for the lead-off cut, "Love Gone to Waste," and Jim Pugh's burbling organ would have fit snugly into the mix of an early '70s Al Green record. The blues is not ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $10.42!
23	Greatest Hits (Chess 50th Anniversary Collection) (1997) more music like this by Little Milton add to wishlist Milton Campbell was a blues chameleon in his early recording career for Sun and Bobbin, changing styles seemingly with every record he made. But he found his groove -- a Bobby Bland-style R&B with a bluesy edge to it -- when he came to Chess Records in 1963. These 16 tracks collect the highlights of his six-year tenure at the label, featuring the ... see all copies from $7.65! new only from $7.65!
24	I Am Shelby Lynne (2000) more music like this by Shelby Lynne add to wishlist After years of kicking around Nashville to great acclaim but nonexistent sales, Shelby Lynne got fed up with the system and reinvented herself on I Am Shelby Lynne as a tough and sexy singer, equal parts Bonnie Raitt and Sheryl Crow. Though this album is undeniably classicist in approach, borrowing from classic R&B, country, soul, and rock & roll, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.93!
25	A Tribute to Curtis Mayfield [Warner Bros.] (1994) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist A fabulous assortment of artists from different areas of the rock genre give a glorifying tribute to Curtis Mayfield in a sparkling 17-song package. Stevie Winwood does a partying rendition of "It's All Right"; a version of "Let's Do It Again" is performed by Mayfield and the Repercussions that mimics the Staple Singers' original; Mayfield does ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
