1	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 $11.11! new only from $11.11!
2	West Side Soul (1967) more music like this by Magic Sam To call West Side Soul one of the great blues albums, one of the key albums (if not the key album) of modern electric blues is all true, but it tends to diminish and academicize Magic Sam's debut album. This is the inevitable side effect of time, when an album that is decades old enters the history books, but this isn't an album that should be ... see all copies from $9.95! new only from $9.95!
3	Sweet Tea (2001) more music like this by Buddy Guy Apparently somebody took the criticisms of Buddy Guy's late-'90s Silvertone recordings to heart. They were alternately criticized for being too similar to Damn Right I Got the Blues or, as 1998's Heavy Love, too blatant in its bid for a crossover rock audience. So, after a bit of a break, Guy returned in 2001 with Sweet Tea, an utter anomaly in ... see all copies from $12.69! new only from $12.69!
4	Stone Crazy! (1981) more music like this by Buddy Guy Buddy Guy mostly indulges his histrionic side throughout this high-energy set, first issued in France and soon picked up for domestic consumption by Alligator. Stone Crazy! is a particularly attractive proposition for rock-oriented fans, who will no doubt dig Guy's non-stop incendiary, no-holds-barred guitar attack and informal arrangements. ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $16.03!
5	The Very Best of Buddy Guy (1992) more music like this by Buddy Guy Credible attempt to digitally summarize Buddy Guy's entire pre-Silvertone career on a single 18-song disc. Encompasses the guitarist's 1957 demo "The Way You Been Treating Me," two killer Cobras, four of his hottest Chess sides, a couple notable Vanguards, a pair of alluring Atlantics, and three tremendously unsubtle 1981 items from Guy's days ... see all copies from $16.85! new only from $16.85!
6	Blues Deluxe (1989) more music like this by Various Artists A 1989 reissue, this budget CD (only 39 minutes long) was recorded live at the 1980 Chicagofest. Included is Muddy Waters, Koko Taylor, Willie Dixon, and three others. Niles J. Frantz, All Music Guide see all copies from $4.28! new only from $4.28!
7	Can't Quit the Blues (2006) more music like this by Buddy Guy Legend status came late to Buddy Guy, so it shouldn't be surprising that this is the first box set devoted to the blues giant's work. Yet it is still a bit of a shock, because Guy, it seems, has always been a part of the modern blues scene, ubiquitous even in the late '60s at the era's high-profile rock and folk festivals, playing the hippie ... see all copies from $42.60! new only from $42.60!
8	Live in Chicago (1999) more music like this by Luther Allison Pulled from performances at the Chicago Blues Festival, Buddy Guy's Legends club with a couple of strays recorded in Lincoln, NE, that were too good not to include, this two-disc set captures Allison at the absolute peak of his powers. Disc one is the Chicago Blues Festival in its entirety with a bonus track of Luther jamming on the finale with ... see all copies from $20.75! new only from $20.75!
9	Live at Lee's Unleaded Blues (2003) more music like this by Vance Kelly see all copies from $15.69! new only from $15.69!
10	The Live Adventures of Mike Bloomfield and Al Kooper (1969) more music like this by Mike Bloomfield see all copies from $17.76! new only from $17.76!
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 $9.55! new only from $9.55!
12 view cover	Live at the Old Waldorf (1976) more music like this by Mike Bloomfield If you've never really experienced Mike Bloomfield just letting loose and playing ripping and inspired guitar, this is a darn good starting point. Recorded live in 1976 and 1977 by producer Norman Dayron at the Old Waldorf nightclub on Bloomfield's home turf in San Francisco with a hand-picked band, the results are startling to say the least. ... see all copies from $5.88! new only from $5.88!
13 view cover	Deep in the Blues (1996) more music like this by James Cotton Deep in the Blues is a fascinating jam session between James Cotton, guitarist Joe Louis Walker, and jazz bassist Charlie Haden. The trio runs through a number of classic blues songs written by Muddy Waters, Percy Mayfield, and Sonny Boy Williamson and a few originals by Walker and Cotton. The sound is intimate and raw, which is a welcome change ... see all copies from $8.49! new only from $8.49!
14 view cover	Blowin' Like Hell (1990) more music like this by William Clarke The title says it all. William Clarke cooks on Blowin' Like Hell, his first CD. And these are new sounds. Songs like "Lollipop Mama," "Gambling for My Bread," and "Lonesome Bedroom Blues" (all written by Clarke) are just great tunes. "Must Be Jelly" won Clarke a W.C. Handy Award for blues song of the year in 1991. You'll find yourself humming them ... see all copies from $9.95! new only from $17.86!
15 view cover	Disturbing the Peace (1988) more music like this by Little Charlie & the Nightcats This 1988 outing is another seamless part of the thread that is this eclectic West Coast band, brimming with equal parts good humor and sensational playing. Charlie Baty tears into his guitar on the opener, "That's My Girl," and keeps the heat up throughout this set, turning in jazzy work on "My Money's Green," rockabilly licks galore on "She's ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $11.21!
16 view cover	Harp Attack! (1990) more music like this by James Cotton/Junior Wells/Carey Bell/Branch Four Chicago harmonica greats, one eminently solid album. Teamed with Junior Wells, Billy Branch, and Carey Bell, Cotton sings Willie Love's Delta classic "Little Car Blues" and Charles Brown's "Black Night" and plays along with his cohorts on most of the rest of the set. Bill Dahl, All Music Guide see all copies from $16.03! new only from $16.03!
17 view cover	Buddy's Blues (Chess 50th Anniversary Collection) (1997) more music like this by Buddy Guy As part of MCA's Chess Records 50th Anniversary series, Buddy's Blues sweats Guy's multi-disc retrospective, The Complete Chess Studio Recordings down to a scintillating 15-track package and comes up with a bare-bones winner. There are loads of great guitar on classics like "First Time I Met the Blues," "Let Me Love You Baby," "Pretty Baby," "My ... see all copies from $8.57! new only from $8.57!
18 view cover	It All Comes Back (1973) more music like this by Paul Butterfield see all copies from $9.55! new only from $9.55!
19 view cover	Slippin' In (1994) more music like this by Buddy Guy Whereas on 1993's Feels Like Rain Buddy Guy flirted with pop and R&B material, on Slippin' In, released one year later, he firmly reasserts his bluesness. From the very first track on, Guy lets his incomparable guitar loose. Throughout the album, he even experiments with Hendrix-esque effects on his guitar (perhaps at the prodding of producer ... see all copies from $6.52! new only from $6.52!
20 view cover	Put It in Your Ear (1976) more music like this by Paul Butterfield see all copies from $10.00! new only from $10.72!
21 view cover	Super Session (1968) more music like this by Michael Bloomfield/Al Kooper /Steve Stills As the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967) had done a year earlier, Super Session (1968) initially ushered in several new phases in rock & roll's concurrent transformation. In the space of mere months, the soundscape of rock shifted radically from two- and three-minute danceable pop songs to comparatively longer works with more ... see all copies from $17.93! new only from $69.95!
22 view cover	Beware of the Dog (1975) more music like this by Hound Dog Taylor & the Houserockers Beware of the Dog was Hound Dog Taylor's posthumous live album containing performances that are even steamier than his first two studio albums, if such a notion is possible. For lowdown slow blues, it's hard to beat the heartfelt closer "Freddie's Blues," and for surreal moments on wax, it's equally hard to beat the funkhouse-turned-loony bin ... see all copies from $16.03! new only from $16.03!
23 view cover	An Anthology: The Elektra Years (1997) more music like this by The Paul Butterfield Blues Band An Anthology -- The Elektra Years is a double-disc, 33-song set that offers a comprehensive overview of Paul Butterfield's eight years with the label. His first two albums, Paul Butterfield Blues Band and East-West, were seminal, groundbreaking records that blurred the boundaries between blues, jazz and rock, suggesting everything from blues-rock ... see all copies from $19.79! new only from $26.54!
24 view cover	Genuine Houserocking Music (1982) more music like this by Hound Dog Taylor and the Houserockers With Alligator label prexy Bruce Iglauer recording some 20 or 30 tracks over two nights everytime the band went into the studio, there were bound to be some really great tracks lurking in the vaults and these are it. Noteworthy for the great performance of Robert Johnson's "Crossroads," (previously only available as a Japanese 45) but also for the ... see all copies from $6.42! new only from $11.05!
25 view cover	Force of Nature (1993) more music like this by Koko Taylor A solid contemporary blues album that ranges from Koko Taylor's own "Spellbound" and "Put the Pot On," a rendition of Toussaint McCall's tender soul lament "Nothing Takes the Place of You," and a saucy revival of the old Ike & Tina Turner R&B gem "If I Can't Be First." Gene Barge once again penned the horn charts, Carey Bell contributes his usual ... see all copies from $4.35! new only from $16.03!
