1	His Best [MCA] (1997) more music like this by Sonny Boy Williamson While some hardliners will point to his early 1950s Trumpet recordings as his most undiluted work, Sonny Boy's tenure at Chess Records was his longest and most successful and therefore deserves first look for the novice coming to this remarkable bluesman at ground level. This 20-track collection takes 17 tracks from the excellent two-disc ... see all copies from $7.44! new only from $8.72!
2	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 $8.39! new only from $10.49!
3	A Hard Road [Expanded] (2003) more music like this by John Mayall's Bluesbreakers w/Peter Green Some John Mayall fans might be disappointed to find that the radically expanded two-CD edition of A Hard Road actually includes no previously unreleased material, even though it tacks on a whopping 22 additional tracks. It's more a complete document of the Bluesbreakers' recordings with Peter Green, of which A Hard Road was just the most prominent ... see all copies from $21.34! new only from $21.34!
4	His Best (Chess 50th Anniversary Collection) (1997) more music like this by Little Walter As MCA reconfigures their Chess catalog, this 20-track single-disc compilation now takes the place of their original 12-track Best of Little Walter collection, a landmark blues album which had remained in print for over three decades. His Best (Chess 50th Anniversary Collection) reprises ten of those seminal tracks (leaving off the echoey "Blue ... see all copies from $7.44! new only from $8.34!
5	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!
6	The Turning Point [Bonus Tracks 2001] (2001) more music like this by John Mayall Recorded just after Mick Taylor departed for the Rolling Stones, Mayall eliminated drums entirely on this live recording. With mostly acoustic guitars and John Almond on flutes and sax, Mayall and his band, as his typically overblown liner notes state, "explore seldom-used areas within the framework of low-volume music." But it does work. The all ... see all copies from $11.51! new only from $12.94!
7	The Very Best of Buster Brown (1999) more music like this by Buster Brown The Very Best of Buster Brown features 22 original classics by Brown, the blues harpist/singer who hit the number one R&B spot with "Fannie Mae" (number 38 pop). Brown was the archetypal R&B singer who came on the scene five years too late. When he scored his big hit, popular music was switching to sounds more accessible to a younger populace, ... see all copies from $10.13! new only from $12.18!
8	The Alligator Records Christmas Collection (1992) more music like this by Various Artists This entertaining CD serves a dual purpose, introducing listeners to many of the blues artists who have recorded for Alligator and giving consumers a rare Christmas blues record. The performers include Koko Taylor, Kenny Neal, Lil' Ed & the Blues Imperials, Katie Webster (on a rollicking "Deck the Halls With Boogie Woogie"), William Clarke, ... see all copies from $7.95! new only from $11.05!
9	The Resurrection of Pigboy Crabshaw (1967) more music like this by The Paul Butterfield Blues Band In his third album, Butterfield adds a horn section and the direction of the group has started to veer away from straight Chicago-style blues toward a sound more influenced by R&B. By this time, Bloomfield has left the group and Elvin Bishop (aka Pigboy Crabshaw) takes over on lead guitar. A lot of great tunes here, like "Driftin' and Driftin." ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $9.75!
10	A Hard Road (1967) more music like this by John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers Eric Clapton is usually thought of as John Mayall's most important right-hand man, but the case could also be made for his successor, Peter Green. The future Fleetwood Mac founder leaves a strong stamp on his only album with the Bluesbreakers, singing a few tracks and writing a couple, including the devastating instrumental "Supernatural." Green's ... see all copies from $6.21! new only from $8.48!
11 view cover	East-West (1966) more music like this by The Paul Butterfield Blues Band The second Butterfield album had an even greater effect on music history, paving the way for experimentation that is still being explored today. This came in the form of an extended blues-rock solo (some 13 minutes) -- a real fusion of jazz and blues inspired by the Indian raga. This groundbreaking instrumental was the first of its kind and marks ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $7.99!
12 view cover	USA Union (1970) more music like this by John Mayall John Mayall's "Turning Point" band -- Jon Mark, Johnny Almond, and Steve Thompson -- broke up in June 1970 after a European tour, with Mark and Almond forming their own band, appropriately named Mark-Almond. Mayall then assembled his first all-American band, consisting of violinist Don "Sugarcane" Harris, guitarist Harvey Mandel, and bassist Larry ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.23!

14 view cover	Back to the Roots (1971) more music like this by John Mayall For this double-LP, recorded in November 1970, John Mayall gathered together prominent musicians who had played in his bands during the past several years, including Sugarcane Harris, Eric Clapton, Johnny Almond, Harvey Mandel, Keef Hartley, and Mick Taylor. Mayall's compositions aren't all that impressive, but the sidemen frequently shine, ... see all copies from $11.24! new only from $20.24!
15 view cover	Blues from Laurel Canyon (1968) more music like this by John Mayall Mayall's first post-Bluesbreakers album saw the man returning to his roots after the jazz/blues fusion that was Bare Wires. Blues from Laurel Canyon is a blues album, through and through. Testimony to this is the fact that there's a guitar solo only 50 seconds into the opening track. Indeed, Mayall dispersed the entire brass section for Blues from ... see all copies from $2.04! new only from $12.99!
16 view cover	The Paul Butterfield Blues Band (1965) more music like this by The Paul Butterfield Blues Band Even after his death, Paul Butterfield's music didn't receive the accolades that were so deserved. Outputting styles adopted from Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters among other blues greats, Butterfield became one of the first white singers to rekindle blues music through the course of the mid-'60s. His debut album, The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, saw ... see all copies from $6.99! new only from $7.10!

19 view cover	Looking Back (1969) more music like this by John Mayall Reasonably interesting collection of non-LP singles from 1964 to 1968, featuring almost all of the notable musicians that passed through the Bluesbreakers throughout the decade. "Sitting in the Rain" (with Peter Green) showcases fine fingerpicking, the haunting "Jenny" is one of Mayall's best originals, and "Stormy Monday" is one of the few cuts ... see all copies from $5.18! new only from $11.60!

22 view cover	70th Birthday Concert (2003) more music like this by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers and Friends Though almost always well-intentioned, events like this usually don't pan out on record, let alone on DVD. Thankfully, this is not one of those occasions. John Mayall in his 70th Birthday Concert is as spry, ferocious, and on top of his game as ever. There is nothing tired about the presentation or the performances. Mayall's own umpteenth version ... see all copies from $9.33! new only from $13.96!
23 view cover	The Hard Way (1996) more music like this by William Clarke His fourth CD from Alligator is his jazziest and bluesist recording to date. Clarke has written half of the compositions and put his own sound and style on those he did not write. Highlights include "The Boss" (inspired by saxophonist Willis Jackson) which is a fast jump that finds chromatic harp riffing along with a horn section -- some ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $10.70!
24 view cover	Best of the Vanguard Years (1998) more music like this by Junior Wells Best of the Vanguard Years collects Junior Wells' material from the Chicago! The Blues! Today! various-artists series, live and studio tracks from the albums It's My Life, Baby! and Comin' at You, and a smattering of rare and/or unreleased cuts.

25 view cover	Groove Time (1994) more music like this by William Clarke Here is Clarke, hot again. This time he has added a horn section on some of the cuts here. No problem. Alex Schultz is here on lead guitar to make sure that this album rocks, while Clarke once again writes most of the songs -- all 15 fat tracks. By this time, his Alligator albums have a style and feel all his own that one looks forward to. Plenty ... see all copies from $11.24! new only from $15.70!
