1	Raising Sand (2007) more music like this by Robert Plant/Alison Krauss add to wishlist 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 $5.46! new only from $14.27!
2	The Complete Recordings [Longbox] (1990) more music like this by Robert Johnson add to wishlist A double-disc box set containing everything Robert Johnson ever recorded, The Complete Recordings is essential listening, but it is also slightly problematic. The problems aren't in the music itself, of course, which is stunning and the fidelity of the recordings is the best it ever has been or ever will be. Instead, it's in the track sequencing. ... see all copies from $9.52! new only from $14.38!
3	It Serves You Right to Suffer (1966) more music like this by John Lee Hooker add to wishlist Given Hooker's unpredictable timing and piss-poor track record recording with bands, this 1965 one-off session for the jazz label Impulse! would be a recipe for disaster. But with Panama Francis on drums, Milt Hinton on bass, and Barry Galbraith on second guitar, the result is some of the best John Lee Hooker material with a band that you're ... see all copies from $4.92! new only from $4.92!
4	Chess Blues Classics: 1957-1967 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This second volume of a two-volume entry in MCA's Chess 50th Anniversary reissue series chronicles the second decade of blues classics produced by the landmark company. Although Chess' big four (Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, and Sonny Boy Williamson) are all finely represented, influential sides by Elmore James ("Madison Blues"), Otis ... see all copies from $6.93! new only from $6.93!
5	A Meeting by the River (1993) more music like this by Ry Cooder & V.M. Bhatt add to wishlist A Meeting by the River can best be described as a spontaneous outpouring of music, unhindered by convention or form, brought into being by musicians so supremely capable that the music is never labored, the technique of their craft always subservient to the final product. Cooder and Bhatt are genuine masters of the guitar and mohan vina, ... see all copies from $13.01! new only from $13.01!
6	Folk Singer (1964) more music like this by Muddy Waters add to wishlist Muddy's "unplugged" album was cut in September of 1963 and still sounds fresh and vital today. It was Muddy simply returning to his original style on a plain acoustic guitar in a well-tuned room with Willie Dixon on string bass, Clifton James on drums, and Buddy Guy on second acoustic guitar. The nine tracks are divvied up between full rhythm ... see all copies from $7.65! new only from $7.65!
7	The Definitive Collection [Hip-O] (2006) more music like this by John Lee Hooker add to wishlist What can be said about yet another John Lee Hooker greatest-hits collection!? Not only is the music consumer loaded down with these discs, but frankly, most are very similar in content. The main thing to look for when purchasing a compilation of "The Hook" is a trust-worthy label. Hip-O's Definitive Collection provides one such example, complete ... see all copies from $11.52! new only from $11.52!
8	The Best of Friends [Bonus Track] (2007) more music like this by John Lee Hooker add to wishlist 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 $9.46! new only from $9.46!
9	The Anthology: 1947-1972 (2001) more music like this by Muddy Waters add to wishlist There have been countless collections of Muddy Waters' classic Chess material released over the years, but Chess began to whittle down the domestic catalog toward the late '90s. The triple-disc Chess box remained in print, but they added two single-disc collections that each covered a specific period in Waters' career at Chess. Then, in 2001, MCA ... see all copies from $23.99! new only from $23.99!
10	The Definitive Collection [Geffen] (2006) more music like this by Muddy Waters add to wishlist There are scores of Muddy Waters compilations out there, and while it might be overreaching a bit to call this 24-track single-disc set definitive, it is still a mighty good selection, including as it does all of Waters' major singles from Chess Records and its Aristocrat Records imprint between the years 1948 and 1964 along with a single track ... see all copies from $11.51! new only from $11.51!
11	Blues Classics: Millennium Collection - 20th Century Masters (2003) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist There is no doubt that all of the tracks on this collection are indeed blues classics. B.B. King's "The Thrill Is Gone," Muddy Waters' "Got My Mojo Working," and Big Mama Thornton's "Hound Dog" are just three of the signature songs found here. With so many blues anthologies on the market, though, this compilation suffers for its brief length, and ... see all copies from $6.93! new only from $6.93!
12	The Complete Recordings [Jewel Case] (1996) more music like this by Robert Johnson add to wishlist A double-disc box set containing everything Robert Johnson ever recorded, The Complete Recordings is essential listening, but it is also slightly problematic. The problems aren't in the music itself, of course, which is stunning and the fidelity of the recordings is the best it ever has been or ever will be. Instead, it's in the track sequencing. ... see all copies from $8.90! new only from $13.25!
13	You Better Run: The Essential Junior Kimbrough (2002) more music like this by Junior Kimbrough add to wishlist 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 $14.00! new only from $14.00!
14	A Bothered Mind (2004) more music like this by R.L. Burnside add to wishlist 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 $15.10! new only from $15.10!
15	People Take Warning! Murder Ballads & Disaster Songs 1913-1938 (2007) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This three-disc, 70-track (30 of them new to the CD era) collection of murder ballads and disaster songs originally released on commercial 78s between 1913 and 1938 is, in spite of the archaic song structures and often crude sonic qualities on display, strangely contemporary in tone and feel, maybe because we've always been drawn to the scene of ... see all copies from $36.92! new only from $36.92!
16	Not the Same Old Blues Crap (1998) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist 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 $4.06! new only from $4.06!
17	King of the Delta Blues [Columbia/Legacy] (1997) more music like this by Robert Johnson add to wishlist This 16-track single-disc compilation gathers up the best-known tracks from the two original volumes of King of the Delta Blues Singers for a nice entry-level collection of Robert's best. Utilizing the latest in remastering technology, these recordings have never sounded quite this clear and full-bodied before, and the difference between this and ... see all copies from $3.85! new only from $6.06!
18	King of the Electric Blues (1997) more music like this by Muddy Waters add to wishlist The first 20-bit remastering of any of Muddy's late career work for Johnny Winter's Blue Sky label is of considerable interest. The fact that, in the wake of the earlier Blues Sky best-of disc, there's enough material to do another 60-minute-plus collection, also speaks well for this catalog. The clarity of the Super Bit Mapping audio brings out a ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.66!
19	A Ass Pocket of Whiskey (1996) more music like this by R.L. Burnside add to wishlist 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 $9.99! new only from $10.64!
20	Hard Again [Expanded] (2004) more music like this by Muddy Waters add to wishlist The importance of Muddy Waters' 1977 album Hard Again cannot be overstated, and its place as a near universal favorite in the Muddy Waters catalog is no mistake. Recorded in the last decade of his life, Hard Again was the first studio collaboration between Waters and guitarist Johnny Winter, who acted as producer on his last four recordings -- the ... see all copies from $6.23! new only from $6.23!
21	Hoochie Coochie Man [LRC] (2001) more music like this by Muddy Waters add to wishlist The source for this 1964 live performance appears to be Lippmann and Rau, the sponsors of Europe's American Folk Blues Festival. Considering that Chess Records never recorded Muddy's live set during this era, this disc is priceless. Otis Spann is at the piano, George Smith plays sax, Sammy Lawhorn is the second guitarist, and Francis Clay and ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.00!
22	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 $12.74!
23	Come on In (1998) more music like this by R.L. Burnside add to wishlist see all copies from $3.47! new only from $10.42!
24	All Night Long (1992) more music like this by Junior Kimbrough & the Soul Blues Boys add to wishlist 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 $3.91! new only from $9.37!
25	Black Snake Moan [Original Soundtrack] (2007) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist 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 $12.86! new only from $12.86!
