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 $6.93!
2	The Blues Brothers [Original Soundtrack] (1980) more music like this by The Blues Brothers add to wishlist Comic actors John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd received a lot of flak for their Blues Brothers shtick -- mostly for the albums, not 1980's beloved classic film. But they should be given credit for exposing many people -- including this reviewer -- to the music of blues and R&B veterans. The Blues Brothers soundtrack was released on Atlantic Records. On ... see all copies from $2.96! new only from $10.52!
3	Breakfast in Bed (2007) more music like this by Joan Osborne add to wishlist Finally, Joan Osborne has come to her senses and recorded a soul record. Ever since she performed in Standing in the Shadows of Motown -- those performances are tacked on here at the end -- one thought that Osborne (the most gifted vocalist of her generation and a singer who understands the nuance of phrase, time, and elocution) would return to ... see all copies from $6.47! new only from $10.02!
4	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 $7.74! new only from $7.74!
5	State of Grace (2007) more music like this by The Holmes Brothers add to wishlist The Holmes Brothers do what they do supremely well, taking all sorts of music and making it into gospel -- a sort of musical equivalent of alchemy. There's more of it here, plenty of their own material, but with some absolutely glorious covers. They utterly re-imagine Cheap Trick's perky "I Want You to Want Me" as a piece of '50s gospel, make ... see all copies from $15.70! new only from $15.70!
6	The Definitive Collection (1992) more music like this by The Blues Brothers add to wishlist It isn't exactly difficult to scoff at the Blues Brothers -- beginning your musical career as a sketch on Saturday Night Live is not the best way to develop artistic credibility, and while Elwood Blues wasn't too shabby a harp player, his brother, Joliet Jake, sang only marginally better than that guy who used to impersonate Joe Cocker on late ... see all copies from $2.94! new only from $8.34!
7	Shoulda Been Home (2001) more music like this by Robert Cray add to wishlist Perhaps the most telling tune on Shoulda Been Home is the T-Bone Walker-influenced "Renew Blues," not because of the style, but because the slow blues fades out after just one tiny minute. By contrast, the mellow soul sway of "Out of Eden" stretches out to over nine minutes. Robert Cray has been heralded as a savior of modern blues, but the truth ... see all copies from $4.43! new only from $4.43!
8	Greatest Hits (Chess 50th Anniversary Collection) (1997) more music like this by Little Milton add to wishlist Milton Campbell was a blues chameleon in his early recording career for Sun and Bobbin, changing styles seemingly with every record he made. But he found his groove -- a Bobby Bland-style R&B with a bluesy edge to it -- when he came to Chess Records in 1963. These 16 tracks collect the highlights of his six-year tenure at the label, featuring the ... see all copies from $7.65! new only from $7.65!
9	Briefcase Full of Blues (1978) more music like this by The Blues Brothers add to wishlist The Blues Brothers began as an affectionate joke-cum-tribute to R&B music, and taken in that spirit it retained its entertainment value, even after this live album topped the charts, sold two million copies, and produced hit singles in "Rubber Biscuit" and "Soul Man." The guardians of popular music have always been entirely too reverent and ... see all copies from $2.30! new only from $4.63!
10	Overnight Sensational (2006) more music like this by Sam Moore add to wishlist Some sage told us years ago that the road to hell is paved with good intentions, and Overnight Sensational is an album with enough good intentions to choke a horse. Sam Moore was one of the great men of 1960s soul as half of Sam & Dave, but like his former partner Dave Prater (who passed away in 1988) once the duo broke up, Moore had a hard time ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.99!
11	I Can't Stop (2003) more music like this by Al Green add to wishlist see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.99!
12	The Best of the Blues Brothers (2000) more music like this by The Blues Brothers add to wishlist The title of The Blues Brothers Complete pretty much says it all; the double-disc, 35-track collection contains everything Jake and Elwood Blues recorded during the peak of their career. The catch is that the compilation was only released by EastWest/Atlantic's Australian division, therefore, it's hard to find outside of Australia. But, for ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.43!
13	People Gonna Talk (2006) more music like this by James Hunter add to wishlist Truly a man, and an album, out of time, James Hunter travels back to the '60s for this slinky shot of retro soul-blues. The singer/guitarist/cartoonist's (he draws the comical caricatures of the band in the liner notes) third album for his third label, isn't a departure from previous releases, but it summarizes what he does best. Kicking off with ... see all copies from $3.82! new only from $8.99!
14	This Is (2007) more music like this by Ryan Shaw add to wishlist see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.68!
15	Carencro (2004) more music like this by Marc Broussard add to wishlist Make no mistake about it, Marc Broussard can sing. With a husky baritone that sounds like some Louisiana version of David Ruffin and an upward range that suggests Al Green or Eddie Kendricks, Broussard's soulful phrasing carries a kind of joyous and yet world-weary wisdom that belies his age. The lead track here, "Home" (the album is named after ... see all copies from $2.18! new only from $8.31!
16	Stranger in My House [CD] (2001) more music like this by Tamia add to wishlist see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.53!
17	The River in Reverse (2006) more music like this by Elvis Costello/Allen Toussaint add to wishlist It's impossible to consider The River in Reverse without taking the devastation Hurricane Katrina wreaked upon New Orleans into account. Indeed, it's quite likely that this collaboration between Elvis Costello and Allen Toussaint would not even have occurred if it weren't for that cataclysmic event. They've collaborated before -- Toussaint wrote ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $10.00!
18	We'll Never Turn Back (2007) more music like this by Mavis Staples add to wishlist When Mavis Staples issued Have a Little Faith in 2004 on the Alligator label, there was no doubt she was back. While the recording was subdued in places, it also showcased her ability to get so far down inside a song that it had to bubble up and be completely reinvented by her voice. It wasn't just a soul and contemporary gospel recording; it also ... see all copies from $5.37! new only from $11.99!
19	Rediscovered (2003) more music like this by Howard Tate add to wishlist Having been left for dead -- quite literally -- Howard Tate and his return to the music world made for one of the more remarkable and most unexpected stories of 2001. With Rediscovered, his first new studio album in nearly 30 years, Tate makes the comeback complete. While Rediscovered makes for a perfectly fitting (if perfectly obvious) title, it ... see all copies from $3.95! new only from $6.60!
20	Welcome to Little Milton (1999) more music like this by Little Milton add to wishlist Here's Little Milton's superstar album, finding the R&B legend performing duets with the likes of Lucinda Williams, Keb' Mo', Peter Wolf, Dave Alvin, Delbert McClinton, Gov't Mule, G. Love & Special Sauce, and Susan Tedeschi. By far the most interesting track is John Sinclair's recitation of "Mother Earth" preceding the duet between Milton and ... see all copies from $3.13! new only from $15.18!
21	Glamoured (2003) more music like this by Cassandra Wilson add to wishlist Cassandra Wilson has garnered a deserving reputation for her soulful, visionary reads of songs by legendary composers old and new, from Robert Johnson to Van Morrison. On Glamoured, Wilson composed half the album, and her songs are as provocative and deserve the same weight of grace critically afforded her covers. She uses her trademark fluid, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $15.65!
22	Speaking in Tongues (2001) more music like this by The Holmes Brothers add to wishlist The sixth album by New York's Holmes Brothers is another all-spirituals set -- though not in the traditional sense of the word. Produced by pop singer Joan Osborne (before she was a superstar, Osborne woodshedded with the Brothers and developed a fine rootsy singing style of her own), who was there in the Manhattan trenches with the band, this set ... see all copies from $2.69! new only from $16.47!
23	Momentary Setback (2002) more music like this by Marc Broussard add to wishlist Momentary Setback is undeniably a strange choice for the title of one's debut release, hardly suggesting a vote of self-confidence. Yet this first release from southern Louisiana native Marc Broussard is brimming with confidence and self-assurance. Broussard sounds many, many years older than he was at the time of the album's recording, bearing a ... see all copies from $2.84! new only from $7.21!
24	False Accusations (1985) more music like this by Robert Cray add to wishlist If its predecessor hadn't been so powerful, this collection might have been a little more striking in its own right. As it is, a solid if not overwhelming album sporting the memorable "Playin' in the Dirt" and "I've Slipped Her Mind." ~ Bill Dahl, All Music Guide see all copies from $11.29! new only from $11.29!
25	Make Do with What You Got (2005) more music like this by Solomon Burke add to wishlist One of the great pleasures of Solomon Burke's 2002 "comeback" album, Don't Give Up on Me (Burke never really went away, but this time around folks were paying attention), was the fact it was so unexpected -- instead of trying to replicate the sound and feeling of the records Burke made in the 1960s, producer Joe Henry conjured up a warm but ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $6.94!
