1	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 $1.99! new only from $7.61!
2	Lie to Me (1997) more music like this by Jonny Lang add to wishlist 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 $3.79! new only from $11.54!
3	Texas Flood (1983) more music like this by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble add to wishlist 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 $6.22!
4	Never Been Rocked Enough (1992) more music like this by Delbert McClinton add to wishlist One of those influential "musician's musician" types, vocalist/harp-player Delbert McClinton was able to call on the likes of Bonnie Raitt, Tom Petty and Melissa Etheridge for support on Never Been Rocked Enough. The results cover the whole checkerboard while remaining vintage McClinton: his harp wails on "Everytime I Roll the Dice"; "Can I Change ... see all copies from $2.50! new only from $6.45!
5	Trouble Is... (1997) more music like this by The Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band add to wishlist 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 $1.99! new only from $9.72!
6	The Real Deal: Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 (1999) more music like this by Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble add to wishlist Stevie Ray Vaughan was one of a kind. Even his peers knew so. So many times, people like Eric Clapton and Buddy Guy have spoken publicly about Stevie Ray's gift, and it was a gift. His guitar leads would jet off into the stratosphere, return, reload, and blast off again, time after time. The Real Deal is exactly what it says it is. This is a 16 ... see all copies from $3.22! new only from $3.41!
7	Riding with the King (2000) more music like this by Eric Clapton & B.B. King add to wishlist The potential for a collaboration between B.B. King and Eric Clapton is enormous, of course, and the real questions concern how it is organized and executed. This first recorded pairing between the 74-year-old King and the 55-year-old Clapton was put together in the most obvious way: Clapton arranged the session using many of his regular musicians ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.48!
8	Greatest Hits (1995) more music like this by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble add to wishlist 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 $1.99! new only from $6.81!
9	10 Days Out (Blues from the Backroads) (2007) more music like this by Kenny Wayne Shepherd add to wishlist 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 $11.25! new only from $11.25!
10	Zucchero & Co. (2005) more music like this by Zucchero add to wishlist Italian star Zucchero has coaxed a wide variety of fellow artists into the studio over the years, and those vocal duets and other collaborations are gathered together on this collection, covering a period of over 15 years. This is one of those albums on which, intentionally, the selling point is the laundry list of co-stars, which is formidable: ... see all copies from $2.74! new only from $8.92!
11	See the Light (1988) more music like this by The Jeff Healey Band add to wishlist Jeff Healey's debut album See the Light may be similar to Stevie Ray Vaughan's high-octane blues-rock, but in blues and blues-rock, it's often the little things that count, such as guitar styles, and there's no denying that Healey has a distinctive style. Healey plays his Stratocaster flat on his lap, allowing him to perform unusual long stretches ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.76!
12	Hell to Pay (1990) more music like this by The Jeff Healey Band add to wishlist A solid follow-up to Healey's impressive debut, Hell To Pay features some of the guitarist's hottest playing to date. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.88!
13	Soul to Soul (1985) more music like this by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble add to wishlist By adding two members to Double Trouble -- keyboardist Reese Wynans and saxophonist Joe Sublett -- Stevie Ray Vaughan indicated he wanted to add soul and R&B inflections to his basic blues sound, and Soul to Soul does exactly that. It's still a modern blues album, yet it has a wider sonic palette, finding Vaughan fusing a variety of blues, rock, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.02!
14	In Step (1989) more music like this by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble add to wishlist 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 $5.07!
15	One of the Fortunate Few (1997) more music like this by Delbert Mcclinton add to wishlist Like the first track says, Delbert McClinton is like an old weakness, coming on strong. McClinton's music is a hybrid of rock, country, and blues, though that's much too analytical for this roadhouse. Sung and played throughout with sass and a knowing grin, this is music that speaks to everyone. And for once the guest artists add just the right ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $5.44!
16	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!
17	Me and Mr. Johnson (2004) more music like this by Eric Clapton add to wishlist 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 $9.94!
18	Live at Carnegie Hall (1997) more music like this by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble add to wishlist Live at Carnegie Hall captures Stevie Ray Vaughan on the supporting tour for his second album, 1984's Couldn't Stand the Weather. The Carnegie Hall concert was a special show, since it was the only time Vaughan and Double Trouble added the brass section from Roomful of Blues to augment their sound; in addition, the concert featured guest ... see all copies from $2.84! new only from $6.83!
19	Just Like You (1996) more music like this by Keb' Mo' add to wishlist On his second album, Keb' Mo' begins to expand the borders of his Delta blues by recording with a full band on a couple of tracks and attempting more expansive, rock-based song structures. The attempts aren't entirely successful and it's ironic that he decided to try rock-oriented material after he received such praise for his traditionalist debut ... see all copies from $2.96! new only from $6.22!
20	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!
21	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!
22	Tell 'Em What Your Name Is! (2009) more music like this by Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears add to wishlist This major-label debut from Austin-based retro soul man Black Joe Lewis is reminiscent of the '60s R&B albums he so clearly adores, right down to its 30-minute playing time. Only one song breaks the four-minute barrier, with the rest at three and some just over two. Fans of the J. Geils Band's initial handful of releases will recognize the same ... see all copies from $7.63! new only from $7.63!
23	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 $6.19! new only from $14.49!
24	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 $7.64! new only from $7.64!
25	Blues Deluxe (2003) more music like this by Joe Bonamassa add to wishlist see all copies from $14.58! new only from $14.58!
