1	Power of the Pontchartrain (2007) more music like this by Tab Benoit Louisiana journeyman swamp rocker Tab Benoit has been churning out an album a year since at least 2002, and between them he stays on the road playing every festival, club, and bar that'll have him. It would seem inevitable that the quality of these studio recordings would decline. But, at least as of 2007's Power of the Pontchartrain, that isn't ... see all copies from $11.58! new only from $12.85!
2	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!
3	Dreams Come True (1990) more music like this by Lou Ann Barton Dreams Come True is an all-star session by vocalists Marcia Ball, Lou Ann Barton and Angela Strehli. The three women sing with a band led by Dr. John and the session features guest appearances by such luminaries as David "Fathead" Newman and Jimmie Vaughan. The music is straight out of the Texas school of roadhouse R&B and blues boogie but it's ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $14.92!
4	Nice & Warm (1992) more music like this by Tab Benoit Tab Benoit's debut album Nice & Warm is a startingly fresh debut. The guitarist has a gutsy, fuel-injected style that adds real spice to his swampy blues. Benoit draws equally from the Louisiana and Texas traditions and Nice & Warm proves it; not only does he carry on the tradition, he offers a fresh take on it as well. Thom Owens, All Music ... see all copies from $3.16! new only from $15.40!
5	Hot Tamale Baby (1985) more music like this by Marcia Ball Marcia Ball solidifed the favorable impression made with her debut Rounder effort with this rousing second outing. She dedicated it to the late King of Zydeco, Clifton Chenier, and was backed by a fine band of veteran pros that included saxophonist Alvin Tyler. Ball ripped through Booker T. Jones's soul gem "Never Like This Before" and Chenier's ... see all copies from $5.97! new only from $12.04!
6	Gatorhythms (1989) more music like this by Marcia Ball Marcia Ball explored R&B and honky tonk country on this album, keeping her blues chops in order while expanding her repertoire. She included a pair of tunes by country vocalist Lee Roy Parnell, "What's a Girl to Do" and "Red Hot," doing both in a feisty, attacking fashion. She was also challenging and upbeat on Dr. John's "How You Carry On" and ... see all copies from $5.78! new only from $14.95!
7	Blues Masters, Vol. 4: Harmonica Classics (1992) more music like this by Various Artists 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 $6.96! new only from $10.76!
8	Live: Swampland Jam (1997) more music like this by Tab Benoit This is by far the best album this Louisiana blues/swamp-rocker has come up with to date. Benoit is playing with basically a three-piece, with Doug Therrien on bass and Allyn Robinson on drums. The rest of the sound is filled in by various guests, some exceedingly strong Louisiana players. Therein lives both the problem and the strength of this ... see all copies from $6.29! new only from $14.99!
9	Wetlands (2002) more music like this by Tab Benoit Recorded during a month in Louisiana and sounding it, Tab Benoit's sixth album is a swampy example of the best of that state's music. Rocking, bluesy, and filled with soul, guitarist/vocalist Benoit keeps his sound stripped down to just a three-piece, giving his voice and greasy guitar plenty of room to maneuver. From obscure Professor Longhair ... see all copies from $10.99! new only from $15.85!
10	Brother to the Blues (2006) more music like this by Tab Benoit/Billy Joe Shaver/Jim Lauderdale Tab Benoit has been doing his brand of bayou-fed blues-rock for some time now, and while it is tempting to call Brother to the Blues a departure, it is really only a subtle one, straying as it does to the country side of things, but again, only a little bit, and there is probably little-to-no-chance that Benoit will turn into a hat act with a big ... see all copies from $11.24! new only from $15.40!
11 view cover	Whiskey Store Live (2004) more music like this by Tab Benoit & Jimmy Thackery The tour to support 2002's Whiskey Store album featuring guitarists Jimmy Thackery and Tab Benoit is captured here in all of its raging six-string glory. Not just for those who own the studio album, this disc repeats six tracks, but they are overhauled and extended so radically (the title cut is nearly tripled in length to a nine-minute blowout), ... see all copies from $11.99! new only from $15.40!
12 view cover	Night Train to Nashville: Music City Rhythm & Blues, 1945-1970 (2004) more music like this by Various Artists Issued to coincide with the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum's historic exhibit of the same name, this two-CD set is a treasure-trove of hits, misses, rarities, and smoking grooves. Certainly Nash Vegas is the capital of country music, but in its day it also boasted a wealth of stomping rhythm and blues music that flourished in the city for ... see all copies from $15.29! new only from $15.29!
13 view cover	Live! Down the Road (2005) more music like this by Marcia Ball Marcia Ball, born on the Texas/Louisiana border, has long been a superb live performer, delivering her swampy blend of zydeco, blues and gritty R&B with all the force of a Saturday night locomotive, and her many fans have been crying for a live album for years, and now, finally, she's delivered it. Recorded in September 2004 at the Sierra Nevada ... see all copies from $7.41! new only from $15.85!
14 view cover	The Swamp Boogie Queen (1988) more music like this by Katie Webster Lovable Katie Webster had some high-profile help for this impressive comeback album -- Bonnie Raitt shares the vocal on "Somebody's on Your Case" and plays guitar on "On the Run"; Kim Wilson duets with Webster for a cover of Johnnie Taylor's "Who's Making Love" (a track that Robert Cray contributes crisp guitar to). Throughout, Webster's vocals ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $15.70!
15 view cover	Best of the Bayou Blues (2006) more music like this by Tab Benoit Tab Benoit's funky, ragged blend of Louisiana swamp blues and East Texas guitar, with hints of funk, soul, and country thrown in to give the gumbo just the right spice, has served him well since he burst on the scene in the early '90s. Since Benoit hasn't essentially changed his sound since, this collection of sides made up largely from his early ... see all copies from $12.86! new only from $15.40!
16 view cover	Rock 'n' Roll City (2003) more music like this by Eddy Clearwater/Los Straitjackets The association seems unusual at first glance, but Eddy "The Chief" Clearwater's roots rock and blues backed by Los Straitjackets' twangy surf results in a potent combination. Other than the participants' colorful choice of headgear, this joint venture urges Clearwater to his most rocking and uninhibited studio performances, while expanding his ... see all copies from $13.14! new only from $15.61!
17 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 $13.77! new only from $16.72!
18 view cover	Standing on the Bank (1995) more music like this by Tab Benoit On his third album, Tab Benoit stripped his sound to its bare essentials by recording live, directly to a two-track. Naturally, the process gives Standing on the Bank a startling immediacy, as the guitarist shreds a number of originals to pieces with his piercing solos. Thom Owens, All Music Guide see all copies from $12.86! new only from $15.61!
19 view cover	These Blues Are All Mine (1999) more music like this by Tab Benoit This is a strong statement by Tab Benoit announcing his true arrival; although he only wrote five of the 13 songs on this disc, he stakes a legitimate claim to all of them with some of his most inspired playing and singing ever. His backing group sounds great and keeps up with him over the entire disc. He is one of a handful of performers -- Tabby ... see all copies from $13.47! new only from $15.65!
20 view cover	I Know That's Right (1987) more music like this by Katie Webster I Know That's Right is an okay step in the venerable boogie pianist's comeback bid, but the mediocre band backing she receives on most cuts doesn't add much to the swampy brew. Bill Dahl, All Music Guide see all copies from $6.55! new only from $15.33!
21 view cover	Alligator Stomp, Vol. 2 (1991) more music like this by Various Artists If you're exploring the pleasures of Louisiana's zydeco and Cajun music, one of the best starting points is Rhino's excellent Alligator Stomp series of the 1990s. Vol. 2's main flaw is its failure to list recording dates -- even if Rhino couldn't find exact recording dates for all of its 18 songs, couldn't the label have at least given the years ... see all copies from $3.42! new only from $14.95!
22 view cover	Louisiana Spice (1995) more music like this by Various Artists This CD is a delight for a DJ or party host wanting to serve up a gumbo of Louisiana music. Aptly titled Louisiana Spice, the two-volume set features musical artists from a variety of genres, from R&B to zydeco. The selections are guaranteed to raise the spirits of listeners. Those so inclined will be out on the dancefloor for tunes such as "That ... see all copies from $7.99! new only from $11.38!
23 view cover	Swamp Gold, Vol. 1 (1991) more music like this by Various Artists Swamp Gold, Vol. 1 contains a number of early zydeco and New Orleans R&B cuts by the likes of Phil Bo, Rockin' Sidney, Jonnie Allan, Rod Bernard, Irma Thomas and Warren Storm. All of the music here is tremendously exciting, and some of it -- such as Lil' Bob and the Lollipops' "I Got Loaded," and Johnnie Allan's "Lonely Days and Lonely Nights," ... see all copies from $12.18! new only from $13.92!
24 view cover	Snake Farm (2006) more music like this by Ray Wylie Hubbard The third song on Ray Wylie Hubbard's 11th studio album, Snake Farm, is called "Heartaches and Grease," and that would have been a pretty good title for the record -- these 11 numbers are shot through with deep, growling guitars that sound like a hopped-up muscle car roaring past you late at night, reeking of Pennzoil and cheap thrills, while ... see all copies from $9.87! new only from $14.60!
25 view cover	Zydeco's Greatest Hits (1996) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $5.55! new only from $6.87!
