1	The Progressive Blues Experiment (1969) more music like this by Johnny Winter Although his early Columbia albums brought him worldwide stardom, it was this modest little album (first released on Imperial before the Columbia sides) that first brought Johnny Winter to the attention of guitarheads in America. It's also Winter at the beginning of a long career, playing the blues as if his life depends on it, without applying a ... see all copies from $6.77! new only from $10.24!
2	Tin Pan Alley (2006) more music like this by Magic Slim & the Teardrops Although Mississippi born, Magic Slim (Morris Holt) plays Chicago blues, pure and simple. His gruff, Howlin' Wolf-styled vocals are as constant and as powerful as the wind off of Lake Michigan, and his bright, brittle, and biting lead guitar lines sting like the first hard frost of winter, then turn and brilliantly fuss under his vocals until it's ... see all copies from $12.47! new only from $15.33!
3	Original Greatest Hits (2005) more music like this by B.B. King As part of the celebration of B.B. King's 80th birthday Virgin released the double-disc set Original Greatest Hits in September of 2005 -- the week B.B. turned 80. Since there have been so many comps of King's long career, all bearing titles similar to Original Greatest Hits, it's easy to assume that this collection is yet another recycling of the ... see all copies from $22.28! new only from $22.28!
4	Blues Collection [Madacy Box] (1997) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $2.95!
5	Singin' the Blues [Ace] (2005) more music like this by B.B. King see all copies from $9.81! new only from $16.37!
6	Blues Kingpins (2003) more music like this by B.B. King There has been a plethora of B.B. King compilations since the beginning of the new millennium, most of them not worth the plastic they are made of, but there have been some fine ones, too, such as the Ace four-CD box called The Vintage Years or their complete Modern Recordings set. In the States, the pickings are somewhat slimmer, but this little ... see all copies from $9.36! new only from $10.73!
7	Classic Masters (2002) more music like this by B.B. King B.B. King's edition of Classic Masters concentrates on his RPM recordings from the first half of the '50s, adding two cuts from his stint at Kent in the early '60s. At 12 tracks, this isn't particularly extensive, nor is the track selection very imaginative, but it nevertheless is very strong all the same, containing such staples as "Three O'Clock ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
8	Houston's Third Ward Blues (2006) more music like this by Joe Doucet see all copies from $11.04! new only from $14.99!
9	Singin' the Blues/The Blues (1992) more music like this by B.B. King Two great original Crown albums from the '50s appear on one import CD, including most of King's Top Ten R&B hits from the period: "3 O'Clock Blues," "Please Love Me," "You Upset Me Baby," "You Know I Love You," "Woke Up This Morning," and "Sweet Little Angel," plus one of his best, "Crying Won't Help You." This is the stuff that was so hugely ... see all copies from $9.20! new only from $9.20!
10	Gravel Road (1990) more music like this by Magic Slim & The Teardrops Another solid Slim set with an additional emphasis on the considerable contributions of second guitarist John Primer, who handles vocals on three cuts (including covers of Otis Redding's "Hard to Handle" and Eugene Church's "Pretty Girls Everywhere"). This was a particularly potent edition of Teardrops, pounding through Slim's own title cut and ... see all copies from $11.70! new only from $14.18!
11 view cover	Blues Gold [Essential Media] (2007) more music like this by Various Artists While the title Blues Gold is quite a stretch, this double-disc set highlights several different varieties of the genre, encompassing Chicago blues harpist Snooky Pryor, legendary folksinger Leadbelly, big-band vocalist Joe Williams, and jump blues eccentric H-Bomb Ferguson. While the sound quality varies throughout, this is a decent blues primer ... see all copies from $13.67! new only from $19.35!
12 view cover	More [Ace Bonus Tracks] (2004) more music like this by B.B. King see all copies from $9.81! new only from $16.37!
13 view cover	Delmark - 50 Years of Jazz and Blues: Blues (2003) more music like this by Various Artists Delmark's 50 Years of Jazz and Blues is a decent two-CD, 32-cut retrospective containing exceptional blues material released on the Chicago label since its inception in 1953. Classic material by Otis Rush, J.B. Hutto, Little Milton, Little Walter, and Sunnyland Slim is included alongside previously unissued tracks by Junior Wells, Sleepy John ... see all copies from $9.06! new only from $10.26!

16 view cover	His RPM Hits 1951-1957 (1999) more music like this by B.B. King His RPM Hits 1951-1957 is a first-rate summary of the cream of the first few years of B.B. King's career, the 26 songs all taken from 1951-1957 singles on the RPM label. Though relatively few of these have survived down the years to become famous standards or oldies, they were incredibly successful in their time; 18 of them were R&B hits, and ... see all copies from $13.30! new only from $22.95!
17 view cover	The Vintage Years (2002) more music like this by B.B. King This impressive, impeccably packaged four-CD box set focuses solely on B.B. King's 1950s and 1960s recordings for the Modern family of labels. That was a period that basically encompassed the vast majority of his work prior to 1962, though he did a few non-Modern sides before signing with ABC Paramount in early 1962 and did a few other sides for ... see all copies from $74.99! new only from $78.21!
18 view cover	Working Girl Blues (1995) more music like this by Philip Walker Walker remains in fine form on this recent set, a mix of remakes of past triumphs ("Hello, My Darling," "Hey, Hey Baby's Gone") and fresh explorations. Two distinct bands were utilized -- a New Orleans crew populated by bassist George Porter, Jr., and his funky cohorts, and an L.A. posse with more of a straight-up swinging feel. Bill Dahl, All ... see all copies from $4.04!
19 view cover	Singin' the Blues (2005) more music like this by Various Artists This eclectic collection mixes some down-home country blues tracks with some decidedly uptown jazzy takes on the blues, and the result is an oddly effective set, with such varied performances as John Lee Hooker's rough and ragged "Louise," Jack Teagarden's swinging "St. Louis Blues," Sister Rosetta Tharpe's crisp guitar on "Trouble in Mind," Joe ... see all copies from $4.76! new only from $4.76!

21 view cover	Blues Guitar Legends [Essential] (2008) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $8.70! new only from $11.23!
22 view cover	More (1961) more music like this by B.B. King More B.B. King was originally released on the budget label Crown with the majority of tracks recorded just before he changed record labels in 1962 from Kent to ABC Paramount. The majority of these tracks were recorded in the early '60s with the exceptions of "Shut Your Mouth" and "Baby, Look at You," which date from the mid-'50s. Stylistically, ... see all copies from $18.10! new only from $34.59!
23 view cover	The Best of Brunning Sunflower Blues Band (2007) more music like this by Brunning/Hall Sunflower Blues Band Tracks from four albums the Brunning Sunflower Blues Band issued between 1968 and 1974 are featured on this 22-song collection, along with some 1969 cuts the group's Bob Brunning and Bob Hall recorded under the name Tramp. The sound is very much like the very early Fleetwood Mac, when that band was at its most traditional blues-oriented. That ... see all copies from $15.52! new only from $21.99!
