1	The Paul Butterfield Blues Band (1965) more music like this by The Paul Butterfield Blues Band add to wishlist 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 $6.50! new only from $6.50!
2	Buddy's Baddest: The Best of Buddy Guy (1999) more music like this by Buddy Guy add to wishlist Buddy Guy revitalized his career when he signed with Silvertone Records in the early '90s. His first album for the label, Damn Right, I've Got the Blues, was a smash success, earning critical acclaim, awards, and sales hand over fist. Prior to that record, he was a legend only among blues fans; afterward, he was a star. Although it was a bit too ... see all copies from $6.07! new only from $6.07!
3	Damn Right, I've Got the Blues [Bonus Tracks] (1991) more music like this by Buddy Guy add to wishlist Grammy-winning comeback set that brought Buddy Guy back to prominence after a long studio hiatus. Too many clichéd cover choices -- "Five Long Years," "Mustang Sally," "Black Night," "There Is Something on Your Mind" -- to earn unreserved recommendation, but Guy's frenetic guitar histrionics ably cut through the superstar-heavy proceedings (Eric ... see all copies from $8.08! new only from $8.08!
4	Bring 'Em In (2005) more music like this by Buddy Guy add to wishlist Buddy Guy's career and discography have been marked by inconsistency. Especially since his high-profile comeback in the early '90s, it seems he's been all too willing to turn over creative control on his albums, both for better and worse. Even just looking at the covers of those albums bears this out. 1991's Damn Right, I've Got the Blues has him ... see all copies from $6.64! new only from $6.64!
5	Live (2005) more music like this by The Butterfield Blues Band add to wishlist For the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, this two-LP set proved that it all came down to Butterfield himself and his abilities as a leader in the end. For all of the adulation heaped on Mike Bloomfield, Elvin Bishop, et al., the group was ultimately an extension of Butterfield's abilities as a leader and player, and this set proved that Butterfield ... see all copies from $11.50! new only from $11.50!
6	Super Session (1968) more music like this by Michael Bloomfield/Al Kooper/Steve Stills add to wishlist 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 $3.09! new only from $28.74!
7	East-West (1966) more music like this by The Paul Butterfield Blues Band add to wishlist 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 $5.44! new only from $5.44!
8	Thunderbird (2006) more music like this by Cassandra Wilson add to wishlist 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 $1.99! new only from $9.95!
9	Feels Like Rain (1993) more music like this by Buddy Guy add to wishlist On Buddy Guy's second Silvertone release, he continues the practice of guest appearances begun on Damn Right, I've Got the Blues. In this case, the notables include Paul Rodgers, Travis Tritt, and John Mayall. The finest combination comes when Bonnie Raitt joins Guy on John Hiatt's "Feels Like Rain." Raitt's gritty vocals and sweet slide guitar ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.00!
10	Slippin' In (1994) more music like this by Buddy Guy add to wishlist 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 $5.50! new only from $6.06!
11	Queen of the Blues (1975) more music like this by Koko Taylor add to wishlist Co-producer Bruce Iglauer anticipated a future trend by making this a set filled with cameos -- but the presence of Lonnie Brooks, James Cotton, Albert Collins, and Son Seals is entirely warranted and the contributions of each work quite well in the context of the whole. Taylor's gritty "I Cried like a Baby" and a snazzy remake of Ann Peebles' ... see all copies from $6.64! new only from $14.63!
12	Old School (2007) more music like this by Koko Taylor add to wishlist Old School is Koko Taylor's first new album in seven years, and after a series of health issues that sidelined her for a while, it could be viewed as a comeback of sorts, but if so, there aren't any signs of rust here. She still belts out her trademark Chicago blues like she always has, sidestepping any 21st century recording tricks for a ... see all copies from $8.41! new only from $12.34!
13	Best of the Vanguard Years (1998) more music like this by Junior Wells add to wishlist 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. As a Wells retrospective, it's irredeemably incomplete, covering as it does his output for only one ... see all copies from $5.95! new only from $9.95!
14	The Best of Siegel Schwall (1974) more music like this by Siegel-Schwall Band add to wishlist Vinyl best-of compilation that hits a few (but not all) of the high notes of their tenure with Vanguard Records. ~ Cub Koda, All Music Guide see all copies from $8.00! new only from $11.98!
15	The Resurrection of Pigboy Crabshaw (1967) more music like this by The Butterfield Blues Band add to wishlist The 1968 edition of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band featured a larger ensemble with a horn section, allowing for a jazzier feeling while retaining its Chicago blues core. They also adopted the psychedelic flower power stance of the era, as evidenced by a few selections, the rather oblique title, and the stunning pastiche art work on the cover. ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $5.40!
16	That's Big (2002) more music like this by Little Charlie & the Nightcats add to wishlist Although founders Little Charlie Baty and harpist/singer/songwriter Rick Estrin welcome two new cats on bass and drums, little else has changed on Little Charlie & the Nightcats' eighth studio effort, again on Alligator, the only label they have recorded for. While that could be a problem for some outfits, the music here is so perfectly conceived, ... see all copies from $4.05! new only from $16.47!
17	Heavy Love (1998) more music like this by Buddy Guy add to wishlist Apparently, Buddy Guy subscribes to the theory "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em." Losing commercial ground to the blonde young guns of Johnny Lang and Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Guy hired their producer, David Z., and set out to record an album of loud, frenzied blues-rock. Purists will cringe at the unabashed commercial concessions Guy makes on Heavy ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.06!
18	Reckless (1997) more music like this by Luther Allison add to wishlist Luther's third album for Alligator finds the 50-something bluesman truly at the peak of his powers. His superb guitar playing has never been more focused, and his singing shows a fervent shouter in full command. But Allison's songwriting has made giant strides as well, and ten of the 14 tracks aboard feature him as a co-writer as well. The ... see all copies from $2.44! new only from $14.65!
19	Buddy Guy & Junior Wells Play the Blues (1972) more music like this by Buddy Guy/Junior Wells add to wishlist Considering the troubled background of this album (Eric Clapton, Ahmet Ertegun, and Tom Dowd only ended up with eight tracks at a series of 1970 sessions in Miami; two years later, the J. Geils Band was brought in to cut two additional songs to round out the long-delayed LP for 1972 release), the results were pretty impressive. Buddy Guy ... see all copies from $6.95! new only from $6.95!
20	Luther's Blues (1974) more music like this by Luther Allison add to wishlist Luther's Blues is where Luther Allison began to come into his own, developing a fluid, gutsy style full of soulful string bending. There are still a few weak spots, but the album remains an effective slice of contemporary Chicago blues. ~ Thom Owens, All Music Guide see all copies from $3.64! new only from $6.93!
21	Deluxe Edition (2005) more music like this by Charlie Musselwhite add to wishlist Calling this retrospective by Charlie Musselwhite a "deluxe edition" may be a little misleading. Twelve of the album's 14 tracks come from three albums he recorded for Alligator in the early '90s. There are four each from Ace of Harps (1990), Signature (1991), and In My Time (1993). The sequencing is beautifully done and representative. The true ... see all copies from $9.54! new only from $16.24!
22	Genuine Houserockin' Christmas (2003) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Genuine Houserockin' Christmas is a 16-track compilation of newly recorded holiday tunes sampling the roster of Alligator Records. These tunes capture several Chicago blues, modern soul, and zydeco artists including Koko Taylor, Lonnie Brooks, Lil' Ed & the Blues Imperials, Coco Montoya, C.J. Chenier & the Red Hot Louisiana Band, Saffire - The ... see all copies from $12.49! new only from $12.49!
23	The Live Adventures of Mike Bloomfield and Al Kooper (1969) more music like this by Al Kooper & Mike Bloomfield add to wishlist see all copies from $12.72! new only from $12.72!
24	Live at Ann Arbor & In Chicago (1982) more music like this by Magic Sam add to wishlist While the sound quality leaves something to be desired, fans of electric Chicago blues should hear Magic Sam live. Recorded at two separate locations, the Alex Club in Chicago in 1963 and 1964 and the Ann Arbor Blues and Jazz Festival in 1969, this disc captures the raw energy not only of the musicians, but the crowds' tremendous response to them. ... see all copies from $11.58! new only from $11.58!
25	A Man and the Blues (1968) more music like this by Buddy Guy add to wishlist The guitarist's first album away from Chess -- and to be truthful, it sounds as though it could have been cut at 2120 S. Michigan, with Guy's deliciously understated guitar work and a tight combo anchored by three saxes and pianist Otis Spann laying down tough grooves on the vicious "Mary Had a Little Lamb," "I Can't Quit the Blues," and an ... see all copies from $8.54! new only from $8.54!
