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	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!
3	The Essential Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble (2002) more music like this by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble Epic's The Essential Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble gathers two discs' worth of the late blues guitarist's work, including many live performances and a few tracks with the Vaughan Brothers. The collection presents Vaughan's material in roughly chronological order, from the 1980 live recording "Shake for Me" to 1989's "Life by the Drop." It ... see all copies from $9.95! new only from $22.14!
4	The Real Deal: Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 (1999) more music like this by Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble 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 $10.53! new only from $12.69!
5	Couldn't Stand the Weather (1984) more music like this by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble Stevie Ray Vaughan's second album, Couldn't Stand the Weather, pretty much did everything a second album should do: it confirmed that the acclaimed debut was no fluke, while matching, if not bettering, the sales of its predecessor, thereby cementing Vaughan's status as a giant of modern blues. So why does it feel like a letdown? Perhaps because it ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.29!
6	The Sky Is Crying (1991) more music like this by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble The posthumously assembled ten-track outtakes collection The Sky Is Crying actually proves to be one of Stevie Ray Vaughan's most consistent albums, rivaling In Step as the best outside of the Greatest Hits collection. These songs were recorded in sessions spanning from 1984's Couldn't Stand the Weather to 1989's In Step and were left off of the ... see all copies from $2.48! new only from $11.06!
7	Genuine Houserockin' Christmas (2003) more music like this by Various Artists 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 $13.88! new only from $14.95!
8	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!
9	The Real Deal: Greatest Hits, Vol. 1 (2006) more music like this by Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble This is a fine 16-track introduction to Stevie Ray Vaughan. Here are the early rollicking blues hits like "Texas Flood," "Couldn't Stand the Weather," and "Cold Shot," to the middle period Hendrix-drenched "Say What?" "Come On, Pt. 3," and the late R&B-drenched tunes such as "Crossfire," "Tightrope," and "The House Is Rockin'." There is also a ... see all copies from $9.21! new only from $16.59!
10	SRV (2000) more music like this by Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble If you're gonna put out a box set that really offers something to the devoted fans of an artist -- who are, after all, probably bound to have much or all of the artist's other records already if they're interesting in buying a box set to begin with -- this four-CD package is the way to do it. It's not so much a best-of or career retrospective as a ... see all copies from $21.99! new only from $49.20!
11 view cover	Greatest Hits, Vol. 2: The ABC-Dunhill/MCA Recordings (1998) more music like this by Bobby "Blue" Bland Subtitled The ABC-Dunhill/MCA Recordings, this picks up the last tenure of Bobby "Blue" Bland working under the corporate MCA umbrella. With tunes aboard from various albums and singles, this 16-track collection covers the highlights from his 1970s period, with only 1982's "Recess in Heaven" falling outside the time frame. Bland was a much ... see all copies from $7.44! new only from $8.66!
12 view cover	Pure Blues (2001) more music like this by Various Artists The "pure" in the Pure series initially suggested the unadulterated, soothing dulcet tones of new age in the Pure Moods discs, but as the series took off, Universal Music realized they had a real marketable brand name here, so they decided to use it for different genres. The one thing that all the collections shared was that they were exceptional ... see all copies from $13.42! new only from $13.42!
13 view cover	Live at Montreux 1982 & 1985 (2001) more music like this by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble Live at Montreux 1982 & 1985 is a historically significant recording, presenting Stevie Ray Vaughan in the biggest show of his life to that date, then three years later, once he had become a star. The 1982 show is essentially the show that got his career started. He met both Jackson Browne and David Bowie after his set, and they were so impressed ... see all copies from $18.05! new only from $22.14!
14 view cover	Hide Away: The Best of Freddy King (1993) more music like this by Freddie King Although not always placed in the upper echelon of blues performers alongside the other Kings (B.B. and Albert), Freddie King was a dynamo. He was both a powerhouse, imaginative guitarist and a glorious, soulful vocalist who could belt out come-ons, shout with gusto or wail in anguish. His instrumentals were also catchy, usually simply structured ... see all copies from $16.67! new only from $49.34!
15 view cover	Soul to Soul (1985) more music like this by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble 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 $8.11!
16 view cover	Showdown! (1985) more music like this by Albert Collins/Robert Cray/Johnny Copeland Most of the original "blues summit" and blues "supergroup" type gatherings, which were done at Chess Records, were musically pointless affairs, mostly because the artists involved really didn't like the idea behind the albums being recorded or the company they were forced to keep during the recording process. What makes Showdown! work is that the ... see all copies from $6.50! new only from $15.70!
17 view cover	Somebody Loan Me a Dime (1974) more music like this by Fenton Robinson One of the most subtly satisfying electric blues albums of the '70s. Fenton Robinson never did quite fit the "Genuine Houserocking Music" image of Alligator Records -- his deep, rich baritone sounds more like a magic carpet than a piece of barbed wire, and he speaks in jazz-inflected tongues, full of complex surprises. The title track hits with ... see all copies from $13.88! new only from $15.44!
18 view cover	Swim Away (1993) more music like this by Toni Price Toni Price has been highly touted on the Southwestern blues circuit for quite a while, and rumors about a hot album surfaced long before it finally was available. Swim Away avoids some traps, especially the blues-rock overload and the crossover formula. Price shows that she's a genuine belter and also capable of doing softer tunes, romantic ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $10.73!
19 view cover	Together for the First Time...Live (1974) more music like this by B.B. King & Bobby Bland Although the duo of Bobby Blue Bland and B.B. King was one of the most popular touring acts of the '70s and '80s, their first duet album -- appropriately titled Together for the First Time ... Live -- doesn't quite live up to expectations. Both musicians are in fine form, but rarely do any sparks fly. Occasionally, King turns out a good solo and ... see all copies from $4.60! new only from $8.34!
20 view cover	The Gift (1988) more music like this by Joe Louis Walker Although it didn't enjoy the major label hype that his current output does, Walker's HighTone encore just may be his finest album of all, filled with soulful vocal performances, bone-cutting guitar work, and tight backing from the Boss Talkers and the Memphis Horns. Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of Walker's remarkably consistent HighTone ... see all copies from $7.44! new only from $10.64!
21 view cover	Texas Cannonball (1972) more music like this by Freddie King Similar to his first Shelter outing (Getting Ready), but with more of a rock feel. That's due as much to the material as the production. Besides covering tunes by Jimmy Rogers, Howlin' Wolf, and Elmore James, King tackles compositions by Leon Russell and, more unexpectedly, Bill Withers, Isaac Hayes-David Porter, and John Fogerty (whose "Lodi" is ... see all copies from $7.49! new only from $10.79!
22 view cover	The Alligator Records 20th Anniversary Collection (1991) more music like this by Various Artists This solid 2-disc compilation celebrates two decades of this label's existence. There are many worthwhile tracks but few surprises. Bill Dahl, All Music Guide see all copies from $7.26! new only from $15.85!
23 view cover	The Complete Aladdin Recordings (1991) more music like this by Lightnin' Hopkins This is where it all began for the Houston troubadour: 43 solo sides, as evocative and stark as any he ever did, from 1946-1948. The first 13 sides find the guitarist in tandem with pianist Wilson "Thunder" Smith (who handles the vocals on a few tracks), but after that, old Lightnin' Hopkins went the solo route. "Katie May," "Short Haired Woman," ... see all copies from $5.84! new only from $10.79!
24 view cover	Honky Tonkin' (1999) more music like this by Johnny Copeland A budget sampling from Copeland's five Rounder albums from the 1980s. All in all, a nice cross-section and a good introduction to this artist's later work. Special bonus points for including his collaboration with African musicians on their closer, "Kasavubu." Cub Koda, All Music Guide see all copies from $5.35! new only from $10.06!
25 view cover	Live at Carnegie Hall (1997) more music like this by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble 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 $7.00! new only from $8.78!
