1	Mississippi Hill Country Blues (2000) more music like this by R.L. Burnside It's a pleasure to hear R.L. Burnside's early acoustic blues played the way he learned them in the hill country of Northern Mississippi. Three of these tracks date from 1967 and were recorded in Coldwater, MS by folklorist George Mitchell, while the remaining 16 were recorded in the early '80s by Swingmaster operator Leo Bruin in Groningen, ... see all copies from $15.75! new only from $15.75!
2	Too Bad Jim (1994) more music like this by R.L. Burnside Too Bad Jim is cut from the same cloth as its predecessor, Bad Luck City. It features R.L. Burnside fronting a small juke joint combo, tearing through some greasy blues. However, Too Bad Jim is the better album, simply from a performance standpoint. Burnside sounds more relaxed and the band steps back from the spotlight slightly, letting the ... see all copies from $9.76! new only from $12.98!
3	First Recordings (2003) more music like this by R.L. Burnside At the time these tracks were cut, 1967 and 1968, R.L. Burnside was working on a plantation in Coldwater, MS, cutting silage. Folklorist George Mitchell was on a mission to record unknown blues singers down South. Mitchell heard about Burnside and paid him a visit, asking if he could record him. That night Mitchell returned to Burnside's place ... see all copies from $16.07! new only from $16.07!
4	Not the Same Old Blues Crap, Vol. 2 (2001) more music like this by Various Artists It worked the first time around, so why not a second offering of Not the Same Old Blues Crap? For volume two, Fat Possum has patched together another riveting collection of hypnotic boogies, wailing guitars, and Mississippi moans -- but lo and behold, there's also a tender side to this album that may surprise both fans and critics of the label. ... see all copies from $4.23! new only from $4.23!
5	The Rough Guide to Delta Blues (2002) more music like this by Various Artists A fantastic compilation that really does span the length of Mississippi Delta blues, from the early days of the Mississippi Sheiks and Charley Patton (with the classic "High Water Everywhere Part One") through to the modern but equally rooted sounds of Asie Payton, R.L. Burnside, and the late Junior Kimbrough. And it's every bit as thorough in ... see all copies from $13.42! new only from $13.42!
6	Sad Days, Lonely Nights (1993) more music like this by Junior Kimbrough If All Night Long was a great electric blues portrait, this sophomore release, given more widespread distribution via Fat Possum's deal with Capricorn, is an extension of the portrait, but with a lot more grit and grind thrown in, given a darker, deeper sound by a change in location (still Kimbrough's joint, but a different building). The vocals ... see all copies from $7.95! new only from $7.95!
7	Blues Fest: Modern Blues of the '90s (1995) more music like this by Various Artists By the 1990s, the face of blues had changed immensely and this 18-track collection attempts to chronicle those changes. While old-timers like Buddy Guy, Charles Brown, and Etta James were still making new, groundbreaking music, second-liners like Billy Boy Arnold, Smokey Wilson, Willie Kent, and R.L. Burnside had moved up through the ranks to take ... see all copies from $24.99!
8	First Recordings [Bonus Tracks] (2004) more music like this by R.L. Burnside At the time these tracks were cut, 1967 and 1968, R.L. Burnside was working on a plantation in Coldwater, MS, cutting silage. Folklorist George Mitchell was on a mission to record unknown blues singers down South. Mitchell heard about Burnside and paid him a visit, asking if he could record him. That night Mitchell returned to Burnside's place ... see all copies from $33.95! new only from $33.95!
9	Going Down South Blues Sampler, Vol. 2 (2005) more music like this by Various Artists Although it is intended as a sampler of various Inside Sounds releases, Going Down South Blues Sampler, Vol. 2 works as a well-selected sequence of contemporary Southern blues, ranging from stripped-down, raggedly funky folk pieces from the delightful Jessie Mae Hemphill ("Chicken and Gravy," "Lord, Help the Poor and Needy") to Doc Tomato's ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $7.00!
10	The Rough Guides: American Roots Box (2003) more music like this by Various Artists It's not a bad idea at all, putting four of the Rough Guide albums together to make up the American Roots Box set. And four excellent ones have been chosen for this, pulling from the diverse corners of American roots music to round things out. So there's Cajun & Zydeco, Delta Blues, Bluegrass, and Gospel. All intelligently compiled, covering both ... see all copies from $63.66! new only from $63.66!
