The Complete Recordings [Columbia #1]

The Complete Recordings [Columbia #1] (1990) more music like this

by Robert Johnson

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. ...

Me and Mr. Johnson

Me and Mr. Johnson (2004) more music like this

by Eric Clapton

Ten years after his first all-blues album, From the Cradle, Eric Clapton released Me and Mr. Johnson, an album-length tribute to his hero, the legendary bluesman Robert Johnson. Not that this is the first time Clapton has paid tribute to Johnson. Throughout his career, Clapton has not only drawn on Johnson for inspiration, but he has covered his ...

Artist's Choice: Rolling Stones

Artist's Choice: Rolling Stones (2003) more music like this

by The Rolling Stones

Released as part of Hear Music's ongoing Artist's Choice series, where major artists pick "the music that matters to them," the 2003 compilation Rolling Stones: Artist's Choice finds Mick, Keith, Charlie, and Ronnie running through 16 recordings of their favorite songs by other artists. It should come as no surprise that blues, R&B, soul, old-time ...

King of the Delta Blues Singers [Bonus Track]

King of the Delta Blues Singers [Bonus Track] (1966) more music like this

by Robert Johnson

Reading about the power inherent in Robert Johnson's music is one thing, but actually experiencing it is another matter entirely. The official 1998 edition of the original 1961 album was certainly worth the wait, remastered off the best quality original 78s available, of far superior quality to any of the source materials used on even the 1991 ...

Long Journey Home

Long Journey Home (2006) more music like this

by Cowboy Junkies

The Cowboy Junkies have long understood that their music was served best on record when it was least adorned by the recording process -- their commercial and critical breakthrough, 1988's The Trinity Session, was recorded live to digital tape using a single microphone during a single evening -- so it's not surprising that they've made a handful of ...

Delta Crossroads

Delta Crossroads (2000) more music like this

by Robert Lockwood, Jr.

For Delta Crossroads, Robert Lockwood Jr., a former student of Robert Johnson, returns to his Delta blues roots. This 16-track album features Lockwood with only his 12-string acoustic guitar. It is rather strange hearing old Delta blues sung by one of its originals on a modern recording. All of the notes from the guitar are clear. Plus, his voice ...

Best of the Vanguard Years

Best of the Vanguard Years (2000) more music like this

by John Hammond, Jr.

In lieu of a boxed set, the Welk Music Group (which owns the Vanguard Records library) has produced this rock-solid 23-track overview of Hammond's early recordings for Vanguard, covering highlights of the years 1963 through 1967 and his return to the label from 1976 through 1979. The tracks aren't in strict chronological order but are juxtaposed ...

At the Crossroads: The Blues of Robert Johnson

At the Crossroads: The Blues of Robert Johnson (2003) more music like this

by John Hammond, Jr.

If Robert Johnson could look down from heaven or up from hell, he'd likely find it very interesting that John Hammond, Jr. had covered his songs. Here is a white guy, after all, who sounds like a black blues singer and chooses -- of his own free will -- to frequently return to the repertoire of an obscure black guitarist/singer from the 1930s. At ...

The Last of the Great Blues Singers

The Last of the Great Blues Singers (2002) more music like this

by Robert Johnson

Although there are dozens of collections like this on the market, there is really no reason to get anything other than the double-disc Complete Recordings on Columbia. It has the best sound, the best annotation, and everything is there. Steve Leggett, All Music Guide

Me & the Devil (2001) more music like this

by Peter Green & Robert Johnson

While it's no secret that guitar king Peter Green is obsessed with Robert Johnson, having done two previous recordings of his music, this box is in essence something else. There are three CDs included here, one of which is Hot Foot Powder, the first album by the Peter Green Splinter Group, which included guest performances from the likes of Otis ...

The Best of John Hammond (1989) more music like this

by John Hammond

Vanguard's The Best of John Hammond is an excellent collection that features 22 highlights from Hammond's early albums. Balancing acoustic and electric material, the set includes "My Babe," "Milk Cow Calf's Blues," "Big Boss Man," "See That My Grave Is Kept Clean," "Stones in My Passway," "Key to the Highway" and "Who Do You Love," among others. ...

The Robert Johnson Songbook [1998] (1998) more music like this

by Peter Green Splinter Group

The Robert Johnson Songbook is Peter Green's first recording made entirely of covers of the music written by the King of the Delta Blues. Unfortunately, though pleasant, The Robert Johnson Songbook lacks the warmth and soulfulness of its successor -- Hot Foot Powder. The Robert Johnson Songbook features Green's Splinter Group, plus a guest ...

Vanguard Visionaries (2007) more music like this

by John Hammond, Jr.

Founded in 1950 by brothers Seymour Solomon and Maynard Solomon just as the LP format was taking hold (it had been introduced to the market two years previously), Vanguard Records took full advantage of the longer playing time afforded and began life as a classical label, moving easily into jazz, then gospel, bluegrass, blues, and folk (as Joan ...

Country Blues (1964) more music like this

by John Hammond

Although Hammond had already recorded electric material, he went back to a solo acoustic format for his fourth album, accompanying himself on guitar and harmonica on faithful interpretations of standards by Robert Johnson, Blind Willie McTell, John Lee Hooker, Sleepy John Estes, Jimmy Reed, Willie Dixon, and Bo Diddley. If it sounds a bit ...

Down in the Delta (2005) more music like this

by Paul Oscher

It's interesting that many of the blues artists listeners have come to love -- from Robert Johnson to Robert Lockwood -- never set out to be immortalized. Their high goals -- making money playing music, chasing women, and drinking -- didn't necessarily consider art. Paul Oscher harks back to this non-noble tradition on Down in the Delta, an album ...

Live 'n' Kicking at Lexington (1970) more music like this

by Pacific Gas & Electric

This live album by Pacific Gas & Electric was slated for release by Columbia, but, due to legal problems, they never actually issued it. Thirty seven years later, Wounded Bird finally provided the record's first release. Sean Westergaard, All Music Guide

Very Best Songs (2003) more music like this

by Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup

There's an irony in the fact that while Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup was hardly a major figure as a bluesman (at best, he qualifies for the second tier), he was indirectly one of the fathers of rock & roll. Rather than his own work, his lingering reputation rests on the fact that Elvis Presley took no less than three of his songs and sculpted them into ...
