1	Raising Sand (2007) more music like this by Robert Plant/Alison Krauss What seems to be an unlikely pairing in the duo of former -- and future apparently -- Led Zeppelin vocalist Robert Plant and bluegrass superstar Alison Krauss is actually one of the most effortless-sounding pairings in modern popular music. The bridge seems to be producer T-Bone Burnett and the band assembled for this outing: drummer Jay Bellerose ... see all copies from $9.85! new only from $16.28!
2	Come on In (1998) more music like this by R.L. Burnside see all copies from $14.90! new only from $14.90!
3	Black Snake Moan [Original Soundtrack] (2007) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Black Snake Moan, the 2007 movie that stars Samuel L. Jackson as a God-fearing, bent broken soul and tortured former bluesman, with Christina Ricci playing the town tramp he feels he has to redeem by any means necessary, is a wildly provocative look at spiritual and cultural mores -- and is sure to set some folks on edge. The soundtrack that ... see all copies from $14.76! new only from $14.76!
4	You Better Run: The Essential Junior Kimbrough (2002) more music like this by Junior Kimbrough Gathering the best of his all-too-brief recording career, You Better Run: The Essential Junior Kimbrough includes most of his best-known songs, including "Done Got Old," "Meet Me in the City," "You Better Run," and "All Night Long." The collection does a good job of representing each of Kimbrough's albums, ranging from the rough-and-ready sound of ... see all copies from $16.07! new only from $16.07!
5	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!
6	Mississippi Hill Country Blues (2000) more music like this by R.L. Burnside It's a pleasure to hear R.L. Burnside's early acoustic blues played the way he learned them in the hill country of Northern Mississippi. Three of these tracks date from 1967 and were recorded in Coldwater, MS by folklorist George Mitchell, while the remaining 16 were recorded in the early '80s by Swingmaster operator Leo Bruin in Groningen, ... see all copies from $15.75! new only from $15.75!
7	Daily Bread (2005) more music like this by Corey Harris Corey Harris takes a decidedly anthropological and academic approach to the blues, deeply researching its variants and origins, even making several trips to Africa to trace out its DNA (resulting in the marvelous Mississippi to Mali), but even as Harris thinks and connects dots like a scholar, when he gets down to playing the songs, he's all ... see all copies from $12.49! new only from $15.98!
8	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 $14.76! new only from $14.76!
9	Too Bad Jim (1994) more music like this by R.L. Burnside Too Bad Jim is cut from the same cloth as its predecessor, Bad Luck City. It features R.L. Burnside fronting a small juke joint combo, tearing through some greasy blues. However, Too Bad Jim is the better album, simply from a performance standpoint. Burnside sounds more relaxed and the band steps back from the spotlight slightly, letting the ... see all copies from $9.76! new only from $12.98!
10	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!
11 view cover	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 $14.43! new only from $14.43!
12 view cover	Zion Crossroads (2007) more music like this by Corey Harris Corey Harris has spent his career digging for roots, looking for the links that bind his beloved blues with African music and other tributaries of black music, including old-time jazz and R&B. On the brilliant 2003 Mississippi to Mali, Harris took his recording equipment to the field in those two seemingly far-apart locales, and discovered they ... see all copies from $13.31! new only from $13.31!
13 view cover	Not the Same Old Blues Crap (1998) more music like this by Various Artists A sampler from the Fat Possum label that, as the title announces, really isn't the same old blues crap. Fat Possum made its name as a home for raw 1990s juke-joint blues, and a lot of that is here in the cuts by Junior Kimbrough, R.L. Burnside, T-Model Ford, and Jelly Roll Kings. It's straight-up electric guitar blues where the groove and ... see all copies from $3.09! new only from $3.09!
14 view cover	Let the Good Times Roll (2007) more music like this by Sam Carr's Delta Jukes Blues drummer Sam Carr is the son of the legendary Robert Nighthawk, and from his Mississippi birthplace arrived in St. Louis, and then for good in Helena, AK, where he formed this group, the Delta Jukes. They play authentic, raw, and untamed down-home blues, replete with the rough-hewn, basic techniques that signify blues dragged through Southern ... see all copies from $15.13! new only from $15.13!
15 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 $11.55! new only from $15.75!
16 view cover	God Knows I Tried (1998) more music like this by Junior Kimbrough see all copies from $14.76! new only from $14.76!
17 view cover	Bad Man (2002) more music like this by T-Model Ford What goes around comes around in the blues world. Although T-Model Ford is from Mississippi, not all of his influences are Mississippi Delta influences -- his dusky, moody electric blues also owe something to Chicago (Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf), Detroit (John Lee Hooker), and Texas (Lightnin' Hopkins). Of course, Waters, Hooker, and Wolf were all ... see all copies from $14.60! new only from $14.60!
18 view cover	Back to the Delta (2003) more music like this by Jimmy Burns Modern blues fans shouldn't be turned off by the title of Jimmy Burns' third Delmark release, Back to the Delta. The electric guitar slung over Burns' back on the cover should be a definite tip-off that this is not a recreation of authentic Delta blues. Burns, who is from the Delta, took his inspiration for this session from blues guitar ... see all copies from $10.80! new only from $14.05!
19 view cover	Songs from the Southland (2004) more music like this by Hans Theessink see all copies from $14.79! new only from $14.79!
20 view cover	The Best of Friends (1998) more music like this by John Lee Hooker John Lee Hooker's recordings for Virgin/Point Blank may have varied in quality, but never in formula. Once The Healer earned reams of praise and, more importantly, solid sales upon its 1989 release, it was pretty much set in stone that every future Hooker album would be painstakingly constructed and boast a plethora of superstar cameos. The guest ... see all copies from $6.95! new only from $13.28!
21 view cover	Red Mud Sessions (2005) more music like this by Chris Thomas King Red Mud Sessions is a tweaked and reordered reissue of 1998's Red Mud, which is out of print in its original form. This version of the record omits two tracks that were a poor fit both musically and conceptually with the rest of the album, covers of songs by Chris Thomas King's father, Tabby Thomas, "Hoodoo Party" and "Bus Station Blues," which ... see all copies from $13.70! new only from $13.70!
22 view cover	Thunderbird (2006) more music like this by Cassandra Wilson Cassandra Wilson's swinging for her own creative fences this time. The sultry, gentle, acoustic guitars on her last five recordings have been largely jettisoned for a more keyboard-and percussion -friendly approach -- which includes lots of programming and loops. To that end, she's enlisted flavor-of-the-year producer T-Bone Burnett and ... see all copies from $16.81! new only from $16.84!
23 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 $14.76! new only from $14.76!
24 view cover	Most Things Haven't Worked Out (1997) more music like this by Junior Kimbrough While this album lacks the revelatory impact of Kimbrough's debut All Night Long, or a hair-raising number like that release's "You Better Run," and it is akin to his debut in both its packaging and its production values. With three of the tracks recorded directly from Junior Kimbrough's Juke Joint, the sound here is absolutely raw; aside from the ... see all copies from $14.83! new only from $15.19!
25 view cover	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!
