1	Strong Persuader (1986) more music like this by Robert Cray 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 $7.59!
2	We'll Never Turn Back (2007) more music like this by Mavis Staples 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 $15.65! new only from $15.65!
3	The Blues Brothers [Original Soundtrack] (1980) more music like this by The Blues Brothers 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 $16.52! new only from $16.52!
4	People Gonna Talk (2006) more music like this by James Hunter 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 $7.94! new only from $9.00!
5	Breakfast in Bed (2007) more music like this by Joan Osborne 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 $12.81! new only from $16.51!
6	Briefcase Full of Blues (1978) more music like this by The Blues Brothers 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 $2.99! new only from $5.00!
7	Do I Speak for the World (2004) more music like this by Gerald LeVert For almost four decades, the LeVert name has been synonymous with quality, soulful R&B. Whether it's Gerald, Eddie, or Sean, the family name never fails to live up to a higher standard than most soul families. That's why Do I Speak for the World? is a nice return to form for the LeVert (the band) frontman's glory years. Too often his releases have ... see all copies from $2.44! new only from $16.52!
8	The Best of the Blues Brothers (1981) more music like this by The Blues Brothers The immediate need to establish a greatest-hits record for a comedic duo whose output consisted of one studio album, a movie soundtrack and a live album is a bit head scratching, but consider the group's popularity at the time -- along with the tragic passing of John Belushi -- it seems mildly appropriate to collect the highlights in one ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $9.00!
9	The River in Reverse (2006) more music like this by Elvis Costello/Allen Toussaint 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 $3.72! new only from $15.75!
10	The Blues Brothers Complete (2000) more music like this by The Blues Brothers 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 $21.93! new only from $21.93!
11 view cover	Everything's OK (2005) more music like this by The Reverend Al Green Al Green's second record for Blue Note reunites the same cast of characters who made his comeback disc, 2003's I Can't Stop, such a success. Willie Mitchell is behind the boards, the cream of old-school Hi musicians is here, and Green hasn't lost a step vocally. In fact, it sounds like he has gained a step somehow; his crazed screams, hollered ... see all copies from $2.35! new only from $6.95!
12 view cover	Made in America (1980) more music like this by The Blues Brothers see all copies from $4.15! new only from $9.55!
13 view cover	Overnight Sensational (2006) more music like this by Sam Moore 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 $4.99!
14 view cover	Bad Influence (1983) more music like this by Robert Cray One of Robert Cray's best albums ever, and the one that etched him into the consciousness of blues aficionados prior to his mainstream explosion. Produced beautifully by Bruce Bromberg and Dennis Walker, the set sports some gorgeous originals ("Phone Booth," "Bad Influence," "So Many Women, So Little Time") and two well-chosen covers, Johnny ... see all copies from $3.88! new only from $10.64!
15 view cover	I Can't Stop (2003) more music like this by Al Green Thomas Wolfe may have said you can't go home again, but he was wrong. People go home again all the time. Usually when they do they find that it just isn't the same. When musicians attempt to go back home, it usually turns out to be a pale imitation at best and a disaster at worst. On his 2003 album, I Can't Stop, Al Green attempts to go back home. ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $15.65!
16 view cover	False Accusations (1985) more music like this by Robert Cray 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 $4.99! new only from $8.33!
17 view cover	Simple Truths (2004) more music like this by The Holmes Brothers The return to CD of New York's favorite sons, the Holmes Brothers, is a welcome one. Indeed, while fans know what to expect -- a killer mélange of soul, blues, gospel, and funk -- those combinations are always surprising. Sherman and Wendell Holmes and drummer/vocalist Popsy Dixon have opted to work with producer Craig Street (Cassandra Wilson, ... see all copies from $2.82! new only from $12.42!
18 view cover	This Is Ryan Shaw (2007) more music like this by Ryan Shaw see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.34!
19 view cover	Here We Go Again (1982) more music like this by Bobby "Blue" Bland see all copies from $2.42! new only from $2.99!
20 view cover	Glamoured (2003) more music like this by Cassandra Wilson 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 $2.97! new only from $15.98!
21 view cover	Black Coffee (2005) more music like this by Al Kooper Black Coffee is Al Kooper's first new recording of solo material in more than 30 years. While Kooper, rock music's most infamous polymath, has never been entirely idle (he has continued to sporadically produce, write, arrange, perform, and hustle), he has been living in semi-retirement in Nash Vegas since the 1990s and this is a major re-entry. ... see all copies from $4.40! new only from $12.34!
22	So into You [CD5/Cassette Single] (1998) more music like this by Tamia see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.00!
23 view cover	Gerald's World (2001) more music like this by Gerald LeVert LeVert has the smooth, sweet-talkin' loverman thing down so well by now that he can practically sing an entire album without breaking a sweat or even thinking twice about what he's saying. And, on Gerald's World, he's as smooth and as sweet-talkin' as ever. But there's something automatic about it all, a sense of security with the persona and ... see all copies from $4.98! new only from $16.52!
24 view cover	Have Love Will Travel (2003) more music like this by Jim Belushi/Dan Aykroyd Give Jim Belushi and Dan Aykroyd credit for at least one thing: the subtitle of "Big Men - Big Music" to their 2003 album, Have Love Will Travel, is pretty fun, and partially accurate. The two comedians-cum-retro-bluesmen are indeed big men, and they at the very least have a big band: the back cover features no less than 12 musicians, including ... see all copies from $2.95!
25 view cover	O2 (2002) more music like this by Tonex Tonex's debut offering, the 2000 release Pronounced Toe-Nay, established him as one of music's innovative forces. A top-notch producer, songwriter, arranger, musician, dancer, and vocalist, Tonex has a sound that incorporates influences of Prince and Michael Jackson into his own immense talents. His 2002 release, O2, is more vibrant and upbeat ... see all copies from $3.75! new only from $8.50!
