1	Greatest Hits (1995) more music like this by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble Stevie Ray Vaughan was a great guitarist, but he had trouble making consistent albums. Greatest Hits rectifies that problem by collecting all of his best-known tracks, from "Pride and Joy" to "Crossfire." Not only is it a terrific introduction, it's his most consistent album, demonstrating exactly why he was one of the most important guitarists of ... see all copies from $3.79! new only from $8.48!
2	Wander This World (1998) more music like this by Jonny Lang When reviewers heard teen-aged Jonny Lang's debut album of 1997, Lie to Me, many of them commented on how mature the blues singer/guitarist sounded for his age. Similarly, Lang's second album, Wander This World, often sounds like it could have been the work of a man of 30. With David Z. (known for his work with Prince) producing, the Midwesterner ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
3	In Step (1989) more music like this by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble Stevie Ray Vaughan had always been a phenomenal guitarist, but prior to In Step, his songwriting was hit or miss. Even when he wrote a classic modern blues song, it was firmly within the genre's conventions; only on Soul to Soul's exquisite soul-blues "Life Without You" did he attempt to stretch the boundaries of the form. As it turns out, that ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.68!
4	Just Won't Burn (1998) more music like this by Susan Tedeschi The very idea of a lady slinging a guitar sets traditional blues fans swooning. But with the release of her debut, Susan Tedeschi slings, aims, and hits her target. What a talent! Singer, songwriter, player, performer, and more, the lady from Boston can do it all. Effective, she does justice to John Prine's classic "Angel from Montgomery" while ... see all copies from $2.89! new only from $5.60!
5	Kulanjan (1999) more music like this by Taj Mahal & Toumani Diabate This informal collaboration between veteran American bluesman Mahal and Malian kora (it's a 21-stringed lute-like instrument) master Diabate was recorded in an Athens, GA, studio with a sextet of West African string instrumentalists and vocalists. It sounds like a half a world away, with the two mixed cultures merging to create traditional blues ... see all copies from $9.46! new only from $11.05!
6	Keep It Simple (2004) more music like this by Keb' Mo' Keb' Mo' is less a blues singer than a performer who works from that conceptual base, not in the way Taj Mahal does, knowingly carrying a tradition forward, half teacher and wise elder, but more as a populist, the James Taylor of blues, say, or a less recalcitrant J.J. Cale. To criticize him for not being Skip James or Robert Johnson sort of ... see all copies from $8.55! new only from $11.06!
7	My Name Is Buddy (2007) more music like this by Ry Cooder During the present era, as the Iraq war grinds on, Americans are trying belly-button gazing, trying to remember a history where America regarded itself as world citizen, and came to the aid of many nations in trouble and nearing despair. It is true that this is part of our national heritage and America as a whole is, or at least used to be, known ... see all copies from $16.66! new only from $18.41!
8	Ledbetter Heights (1995) more music like this by Kenny Wayne Shepherd You would never guess from Kenny Wayne Shepherd's fiery playing that the guitarist is still only in his teens. On his debut, Ledbetter Heights, Shepherd burns through a set of rather generic blues-rock ravers that are made special by his exceptional technique. It may still be a while before he says something original, but he plays with style, ... see all copies from $2.66! new only from $7.99!
9	Trouble Is... (1997) more music like this by The Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band Instead of breaking from his high-energy, high-voltage blues-rock, Kenny Wayne Shepherd offers more of the same on his second album, Trouble Is... While the record lacks the surprise and impact of Ledbetter Heights, it's clear that Shepherd is growing as a guitarist, developing a cleaner, more nuanced technique. He still suffers from the lack of ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $8.46!
10	The Natch'l Blues (1968) more music like this by Taj Mahal Taj Mahal's second album, recorded in the spring and fall of 1968, opens with more stripped-down Delta-style blues in the manner of his debut, but adds a little more amplification (partly courtesy of Al Kooper on organ) before moving into wholly bigger sound on numbers like "She Caught the Katy and Left Me a Mule to Ride" and "The Cuckoo" -- the ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $9.99!
11 view cover	Hope and Desire (2005) more music like this by Susan Tedeschi On her first outing in three years and her freshman offering for Verve's Forecast label, Susan Tedeschi digs deep into the soul and R&B fakebook for inspiration and comes out a winner. With an all-star band that includes guitarist Doyle Bramhall II, pianist David Palmer, organist Jebin Bruni, bassist Paul Bryan, drummer Jay Bellerose, and guests ... see all copies from $5.86! new only from $13.34!
12 view cover	Lie to Me (1997) more music like this by Jonny Lang Like peers Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Chris Duarte, Jonny Lang is a technically gifted blues guitarist, capable of spitting out accomplished licks and riffs at an astonishingly rapid rate, which he indeed boasts on Lie to Me. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $5.50! new only from $10.04!
13 view cover	Me and Mr. Johnson (2004) more music like this by Eric Clapton Ten years after his first all-blues album, From the Cradle, Eric Clapton released Me and Mr. Johnson, an album-length tribute to his hero, the legendary bluesman Robert Johnson. Not that this is the first time Clapton has paid tribute to Johnson. Throughout his career, Clapton has not only drawn on Johnson for inspiration, but he has covered his ... see all copies from $5.95! new only from $16.52!
14 view cover	10 Days Out (Blues from the Backroads) (2007) more music like this by Kenny Wayne Shepherd 10 Days Out may well be Kenny Wayne Shepherd's most important and intriguing album, even though the guitarist is hardly the featured artist on any of these tracks, working instead more as a sideman and facilitator for the impressive cast of venerable blues players who get a chance to shine here. Make no mistake about it, this recording belongs to ... see all copies from $15.99! new only from $21.94!
15 view cover	Painkiller (2007) more music like this by Tommy Castro Tommy Castro's sixth release for the Blind Pig label, Painkiller, picks up where his 2003 set, Soul Shaker, left off. This time around, producer John Porter -- who has worked with Santana, Taj Mahal, B.B. King, and Buddy Guy -- positions Castro's Delbert McClinton/Southside Johnny vocal grit in front of a punchy horn section and rounds out the ... see all copies from $13.04! new only from $14.72!
16 view cover	Solid Ice (2007) more music like this by Jimmy Thackery & the Drivers Ex-Nighthawks guitarist Jimmy Thackery has been playing his own brand of blues-tinged rock as a solo artist for some twenty years now (he left the Nighthawks in 1987) and there's no denying that he's a first-class guitarist with a sharp ear for tone and a knack for perfectly placed fills and evocative leads. His quavering, shaky voice is a problem ... see all copies from $8.82! new only from $15.40!
17 view cover	Turn Around (2006) more music like this by Jonny Lang On 2003's Long Time Coming, Jonny Lang made the first turn from his rap as an itinerant blues-rocker to being a spiritually inspired rock and pop songwriter. Producer Marti Frederiksen took Lang's tunes and glossed them to the breaking point, leaving the album an unfocused, gobbledygook set of songs that had no center. Three years later, Lang ... see all copies from $10.99! new only from $10.99!
18 view cover	Texas Flood (1983) more music like this by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble It's hard to overestimate the impact Stevie Ray Vaughan's debut, Texas Flood, had upon its release in 1983. At that point, blues was no longer hip, the way it was in the '60s. Texas Flood changed all that, climbing into the Top 40 and spending over half a year on the charts, which was practically unheard of for a blues recording. Vaughan became a ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.83!
19 view cover	The Best of Taj Mahal [Sony Remaster] (2000) more music like this by Taj Mahal Columbia/Legacy's 2000 collection The Best of Taj Mahal is a first-rate overview of Taj Mahal's classic late-'60s/early-'70s work for Columbia. Spanning 17 tracks, including a previously unreleased cut "Sweet Mama Janisse" from 1970, this hits many of the key points from the records he released between 1967 and 1974, including "Statesboro Blues," ... see all copies from $7.98! new only from $7.98!
20 view cover	Suitcase (2006) more music like this by Keb' Mo' On Suitcase, his eighth studio release, Keb' Mo' (Kevin Moore) reunites with John Porter, the producer of Moore's critically lauded first album, and the result is a pleasant, midtempo suite of songs dedicated to the emotional baggage everyone carries with them as they plow through increasingly complicated lives in search of peace, love, and some ... see all copies from $9.29! new only from $14.33!
21 view cover	The Essential Taj Mahal (2005) more music like this by Taj Mahal The Essential Taj Mahal pulls together the bluesman's Columbia, Warner, Gramavision Private Music, and Hannibal labels' recordings, making it the first truly cross-licensed compilation of his work. Given the depth and breadth of this set (it covers four decades), the listener gets not only a cross-sectional view of the artist, but also his ... see all copies from $17.68! new only from $22.14!
22 view cover	A New Day Yesterday Live (2002) more music like this by Joe Bonamassa Something of an odd release, A New Day Yesterday Live documents the final date of a 60-day jaunt during blues guitar prodigy Joe Bonamassa's 2001 tour in support of his major-label debut bearing the same title, and (this is the odd part), released just a few months earlier. Just why his record company felt the need for it, then, is up for grabs ... see all copies from $9.71! new only from $13.16!
23 view cover	Grant Street (2005) more music like this by Sonny Landreth see all copies from $12.68! new only from $15.98!
24 view cover	Heavy Picks: The Robert Cray Collection (1999) more music like this by Robert Cray Robert Cray left his longtime home Mercury Records following the release of 1997's Sweet Potato Pie, moving to Rykodisc in 1999. Not long after his Ryko debut Take Your Shoes Off -- just a little over six months, actually -- Mercury released Heavy Picks: The Robert Cray Collection. It wasn't really an attempt to steal the thunder from Take Your ... see all copies from $11.51! new only from $13.34!
25 view cover	Loud Guitars, Big Suspicions (1999) more music like this by Shannon Curfman It's easy to call Shannon Curfman the female equivalent of such hot-shot guitar-slingers as Johnny Lang, especially since Lang not only appears on her debut Loud Guitars, Big Suspicions, he co-wrote a few songs with her as well. And it is true that Curfman does play modern blues-rock that recalls Lang's, but it's not a direct copy, it's simply ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.47!
