1	Born Under a Bad Sign [Stax] (1967) more music like this by Albert King Albert King recorded a lot in the early '60s, including some classic sides, but they never quite hit the mark. They never gained a large audience, nor did they really capture the ferocity of his single-string leads. Then he signed with Stax in 1966 and recorded a number of sessions with the house band, Booker T. & the MG's, and everything just ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $9.61!
2	King of the Blues Guitar (1969) more music like this by Albert King Atlantic's original vinyl edition of this was comprised of Albert's Stax singles -- a few from Born Under a Bad Sign, along with "Cold Feet," "I Love Lucy" (two of King's patented monologues), and the beautiful "You're Gonna Need Me." Great stuff. Even greater, though, is the CD reissue, which includes those singles (which didn't appear on any ... see all copies from $4.94! new only from $9.55!
3	BBC Sessions (2003) more music like this by Cream This compilation of 22 Cream BBC tracks from 1966-1968 marked a major addition to the group's discography, particularly as they released relatively little product during their actual lifetime. All of but two of these cuts ("Lawdy Mama" and the 1968 version of "Steppin' Out," which had appeared on Eric Clapton's Crossroads box) were previously ... see all copies from $13.00! new only from $13.00!
4	Time Is Tight [1998] (1998) more music like this by Booker T. & the MG's A three-CD, 65-song box set that includes all their hits from 1962 through 1971, in addition to numerous LP tracks and failed singles; the third disc is devoted entirely to previously unreleased live material (most from 1992-94) and rarities. Greatest-hits compilations will serve the needs of all but intense Booker T. and Stax fans. However, if ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $41.43!
5	Strange Brew: The Very Best of Cream (1983) more music like this by Cream What the title implies, all the finest tracks from the band's four studio albums. The best was brilliant. Rob Bowman, All Music Guide see all copies from $3.39!
6	The Very Best of Albert King (1999) more music like this by Albert King There have been many compilations of Albert King's classic Stax recordings over the years, including the wonderful double-disc set The Ultimate Collection, but Rhino's The Very Best of Albert King is perhaps the best for curious listeners, since it offers 16 classics on one disc. There may be a few favorites missing, from "The Hunter" to "The ... see all copies from $7.49! new only from $9.20!
7	Crash and Burn (1980) more music like this by Pat Travers Raw, amped-up blues-rock material, with loads of raucous guitar to recommend it. Cub Koda, All Music Guide see all copies from $6.17! new only from $8.57!
8	Those Were the Days (1997) more music like this by Cream Those Were the Days is an ambitious four-disc, 63-track box set that divides Cream's career into two halves. The first two discs feature every studio track the group ever released, plus a handful of unreleased cuts, alternate takes, and rarities. The other two discs are devoted to live material, which is segued together in an attempt to recreate ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $51.80!
9	The Very Best of William Bell (2007) more music like this by William Bell William Bell is probably the most woefully underappreciated artist in the Stax Records stable. Primarily a ballad singer, Bell avoided the charismatic stage histrionics of singers like Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett in favor of a more subtle and melodic approach. He was also a gifted songwriter, penning in conjunction with his writing partner ... see all copies from $5.48! new only from $10.29!
10	Talk to Your Daughter (1988) more music like this by Robben Ford On his 1988 solo effort Talk to Your Daughter, singer/guitarist Robben Ford proves himself a master of sophisticated blues-rock guitar playing. The material is quite strong, and all the musicians perform at the highest level, but it's Ford's stellar soloing that makes this release. Fans of flailing '80s rock virtuosos would do well to check out ... see all copies from $9.55! new only from $9.55!
11 view cover	Pure Blues (2001) more music like this by Various Artists The "pure" in the Pure series initially suggested the unadulterated, soothing dulcet tones of new age in the Pure Moods discs, but as the series took off, Universal Music realized they had a real marketable brand name here, so they decided to use it for different genres. The one thing that all the collections shared was that they were exceptional ... see all copies from $7.20! new only from $13.34!
12 view cover	Muddy Water Blues: A Tribute to Muddy Waters (1993) more music like this by Paul Rodgers Paul Rodgers' tribute to Muddy Waters is not a return to Waters' electric Chicago blues, but a continuation of the blues-rock of Rodgers' old bands, Free and Bad Company. Taken on those terms, Muddy Water Blues: A Tribute to Muddy Waters works only when Rodgers is matched with a good blues-rock guitarist. Jeff Beck, Buddy Guy, and Gary Moore all ... see all copies from $7.95! new only from $10.64!
13 view cover	The Benefit Concert, Vol. 2 (2007) more music like this by Various Artists Y'all know what you're gonna get here, right? Yep. Recorded at the Thomas Wolfe Auditorium in Asheville, NC back on December 21, 2000, it's Warren Haynes and his pals from the strange to the legendary and everywhere in between. This Benefit Concert, Vol. 2 is a double disc that features Haynes playing solo acoustic, and with two of his own bands - ... see all copies from $17.54! new only from $17.54!
14 view cover	Blues By Green (2003) more music like this by Peter Green Here is yet another Peter Green collection comprised mainly of material from 1979 through 1983, with the thoroughly enjoyable Fleetwood Mac A-side "Man of the World," from 1969, included for some inexplicable reason. The material here is culled from Green's first return to recording after a six-year hiatus for personal and mental health reasons. ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $10.29!
15 view cover	Blues to Die For (2003) more music like this by Leslie West see all copies from $14.95! new only from $14.95!
16 view cover	The Best of Booker T. & the MG's [Stax] (1986) more music like this by Booker T. & the MG's Somewhat confusingly, this disc is titled identically to a CD on Atlantic that concentrates on their earlier material. This 17-cut disc draws from 1967-1971, and includes three of their four Top 20 pop hits: "Soul Limbo," "Hang 'em High," and "Time Is Tight." This perhaps lacks a bit of the edge of their mid-'60s recordings, concentrating on ... see all copies from $5.57! new only from $8.50!
17 view cover	Soul Limbo (1968) more music like this by Booker T. & the MG's This 1968 album found the Memphis instrumental group running through the usual batch of then-current soul hit covers ("La La Means I Love You," "Be Young, Be Foolish, Be Happy"), pop tunes ("Eleanor Rigby," "Foxy Lady") and hits like "Hang 'Em High" and the title track in their own trademark style. Most interesting are the tracks where Booker T. ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $10.35!
18 view cover	Deluxe Edition (2002) more music like this by Koko Taylor While some fans may argue that Koko Taylor's Chess material is slightly superior, there is no denying the power of these Alligator sessions. Deluxe Edition collects 15 of her very best tracks from her Alligator releases since 1975. Some of the high points include the many guest spots from Buddy Guy, B.B. King, Pinetop Perkins, Mighty Joe Young, ... see all copies from $15.70! new only from $15.70!
19 view cover	Born Under a Bad Sign & Other Hits [Rhino Flashback] (2003) more music like this by Albert King This ten-track budget set from Warner's Flashback label includes the original versions of bluesman Albert King's biggest hits, like "Crosscut Saw," "Laundromat Blues," and of course "Born Under a Bad Sign." The selection is decent, but some fans may question the deletion of King signature songs "Blues Power" and "I'll Play the Blues for You, Pt. 1 ... see all copies from $4.88! new only from $4.88!
20 view cover	The Best Blues Album in the World Ever (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Hardly. What is on this two-disc set is a real hodgepodge of new and old tracks by a variety of artists ranging from soul shouters and blues-rockers to the true originators. Disc one gets off to a sluggish start with tracks from Johnny Winter, the Boneshakers, Colin James, Larry McCray, the Kinsey Report, John Hammond, Duke Robillard, and Terry ... see all copies from $20.63! new only from $20.63!
21 view cover	Rita Coolidge (1971) more music like this by Rita Coolidge Her debut album, with Eric Clapton and Stephen Stills. Bil Carpenter, All Music Guide see all copies from $4.99! new only from $7.42!
22 view cover	Force of Nature (1993) more music like this by Koko Taylor A solid contemporary blues album that ranges from Koko Taylor's own "Spellbound" and "Put the Pot On," a rendition of Toussaint McCall's tender soul lament "Nothing Takes the Place of You," and a saucy revival of the old Ike & Tina Turner R&B gem "If I Can't Be First." Gene Barge once again penned the horn charts, Carey Bell contributes his usual ... see all copies from $4.35! new only from $14.95!
23 view cover	Greatest Hits (1980) more music like this by Rita Coolidge see all copies from $2.90! new only from $39.88!
24 view cover	The Apple Pie Motherhood Band (1968) more music like this by Apple Pie & Motherhood The Apple Pie Motherhood Band were a Boston-based aggregate combining a formative heavy blues base with equally earthy elements of psychedelia. With Atlantic Records staff producer Felix Pappalardi behind the console, the results were a reflection of the ever-changing pop/rock soundscape. Although the band' s lineup would remain in a constant ... see all copies from $11.31! new only from $11.31!
25 view cover	Pink Cadillac (1989) more music like this by Original Soundtrack see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.25!
