1	Wheels of Fire (1968) more music like this by Cream If Disraeli Gears was the album where Cream came into their own, its successor, Wheels of Fire, finds the trio in full fight, capturing every side of their multi-faceted personality, even hinting at the internal pressures that soon would tear the band asunder. A dense, unwieldy double album split into an LP of new studio material and an LP of live ... see all copies from $12.00! new only from $19.52!
2	Blues (1994) more music like this by Jimi Hendrix While Jimi Hendrix remains most famous for his hard rock and psychedelic innovations, more than a third of his recordings were blues-oriented. This CD contains 11 blues originals and covers, eight of which were previously unreleased. Recorded between 1966 and 1970, they feature the master guitarist stretching the boundaries of electric blues in ... see all copies from $12.94! new only from $12.94!
3	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 $9.41! new only from $9.55!
4	The Very Best of Cream (1995) more music like this by Cream There have been many compilations drawn from the four albums Cream originally released between 1966 and 1969. But the one most commonly available since the early '80s was the ten-track Strange Brew: The Very Best of Cream (1983), a barebones collection focusing on the group's hit singles. Note, then, that this album, despite the similar title, is ... see all copies from $15.32!
5	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 $2.60! new only from $35.15!
6	The Simpsons Sing the Blues (1990) more music like this by The Simpsons This musical spin-off of the animated television series retained the same skewed-life humor that made the show a hit and tried to instigate a dance craze ("Do the Bartman"). Not really a comedy album, though it certainly contains funny moments ("Look at All Those Idiots," "Deep Deep Trouble"). Despite its smart-ass front, it sneaks in some ... see all copies from $2.97! new only from $5.84!
7	Royal Albert Hall: London May 2-3-5-6 2005 (2005) more music like this by Cream For one reason or another, Cream reunited in the spring of 2005, setting aside nearly 40 years of acrimony for a series of gigs at the Royal Albert Hall in May, which was later followed by a few shows at Madison Square Garden about a month after souvenirs of the London shows -- a double-CD set and a double-DVD set -- were released. By that time, ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $22.26!
8	The Very Best of Albert King [Stax] (2007) more music like this by Albert King A left-handed, self-taught guitar player who played his instrument upside down and backwards, Albert King could wring out guitar leads that were as sharp as razor blades zinging along a telephone line, but he was also a well-rounded musician, having played drums in Chicago for Jimmy Reed and was a good enough singer to have been part of a gospel ... see all copies from $9.61! new only from $9.61!
9	Rough Guide to the Blues (2007) more music like this by Various Artists Full marks to the Rough Guide people -- with this release they've hit it very squarely on the head. If you want one definitive guide to the blues, this is it. Granted, not every major figure is here -- no Skip James or Furry Lewis, for example, or Tampa Red -- but this is as good as you're going to find on a single CD, ranging from the very early ... see all copies from $13.50! new only from $13.50!
10	Blues Gold [Hip O] (2006) more music like this by Various Artists None of the cuts on this two-disc, 38-track collection is particularly obscure or hard to find elsewhere, but what makes it a useful set is having them all in one package, and the end result is a nice introduction to modern electric blues. Included are such classic blues performances as Big Mama Thornton's "Hound Dog," T-Bone Walker's "Call It ... see all copies from $9.77! new only from $19.95!
11 view cover	Disraeli Gears [Deluxe Edition] (2004) more music like this by Cream Intense Cream fans and collectors might be disappointed in the two-CD deluxe edition of Disraeli Gears for offering little in the way of previously unreleased material. There is a lot of extra stuff here, mind you, which makes it a nice expansion of the group's best and most focused album. There's the original album in both stereo and mono; two ... see all copies from $26.99! new only from $26.99!
12 view cover	New Orleans Heat [Rhino] (1978) more music like this by Albert King Allen Toussaint is one of the greatest R&B producers ever to grace New Orleans, but his touch as a blues producer is shaky at best. This attempt to update King's early classics is a snooze. Bill Dahl, All Music Guide see all copies from $12.62!
13 view cover	Resurrection of Pigboy Crabshaw/In My Own Dream (2004) more music like this by The Paul Butterfield Blues Band This imported double CD from WEA's international division is a real conundrum for blues fans in general and fans of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band in particular. On the one hand, the first of its two discs is The Resurrection of Pigboy Crabshaw, the last of what are usually regarded as the classic albums by the band, and a glorious moment in the ... see all copies from $39.86! new only from $39.86!
14 view cover	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 $4.42! new only from $10.29!
15 view cover	The Resurrection of Pigboy Crabshaw (1967) more music like this by The Paul Butterfield Blues Band In his third album, Butterfield adds a horn section and the direction of the group has started to veer away from straight Chicago-style blues toward a sound more influenced by R&B. By this time, Bloomfield has left the group and Elvin Bishop (aka Pigboy Crabshaw) takes over on lead guitar. A lot of great tunes here, like "Driftin' and Driftin." ... see all copies from $9.48! new only from $9.55!
16 view cover	Wheels of Fire [Studio] (1977) more music like this by Cream If Disraeli Gears was the album where Cream came into their own, its successor, Wheels of Fire, finds the trio in full fight, capturing every side of their multi-faceted personality, even hinting at the internal pressures that soon would tear the band asunder. A dense, unwieldy double album split into an LP of new studio material and an LP of live ... see all copies from $15.66!
17 view cover	The Americana Series: The Best of the Blues [Sanctuary] (2004) more music like this by Various Artists A sort of all-over-the-map collection of electric blues, ranging from the ragged swamp stomp of Slim Harpo ("I'm a King Bee") and the furious slide work of Elmore James ("Dust My Broom") to newer fare by Robert Cray ("Back Door Slam"), Taj Mahal ("Blues Ain't Nothin'"), and Britain's John Mayall (who covers Jimmy Reed's "Ain't That Lovin' You Baby ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.51!
18 view cover	Little Dreamer (1980) more music like this by Peter Green When Peter Green issued Little Dreamer in 1980, it was the second straight year he had released an album after a nine-year gap. Fairport Convention drummer Dave Mattacks must have wondered what he had gotten himself into because the opener, "Loser Two Times," ais almost as close to disco as the Rolling Stones got with "Miss You." Green continues ... see all copies from $8.75! new only from $8.75!
19 view cover	The Best of William Bell (1988) more music like this by William Bell The Best of William Bell focuses on the singer's output from 1968-1974, covering the albums Duets, Bound to Happen, Wow..., Phases of Reality, and Relating. While his 1967 debut, The Soul of a Bell, may be his finest album, this collection compiles many of the highlights that followed, including his exquisite 1968 single "I Forgot to Be Your Lover ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!
20 view cover	Stax Profiles (2006) more music like this by Albert King As part of the Stax Profiles series, blues guitarist Albert King is spotlighted with material recorded in the late '60s and early '70s for the Memphis-based label. Since this midline compilation only contains 11 cuts, it's easy to dwell on what was left off. For instance, where is "Laundromat Blues," "Cross Cut Saw," "The Hunter," "Blues Power," ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
21 view cover	Wow.../Bound to Happen (1997) more music like this by William Bell In 1997, Fantasy combined two of William Bell's classic Stax albums, Wow... and Bound to Happen, on a single CD. The albums found the soul man in two notably different settings. The last Bell album that was produced by organist Booker T. Jones, Bound to Happen is a Memphis-oriented treasure boasting a number of songs that should have been major ... see all copies from $14.11! new only from $14.11!
22 view cover	I Feel Free: Ultimate Cream (2005) more music like this by Cream see all copies from $27.59! new only from $27.59!
23 view cover	Life, Love & the Blues (1998) more music like this by Etta James Life, Love & the Blues is slick, funky, and thoroughly commercial. The queen of R&B does an admirable job of keeping her head above water on this package of covers. Tim Sheridan, All Music Guide see all copies from $5.99! new only from $6.55!
24 view cover	Hell and Back (1994) more music like this by Buddy Miles Express After recording only sporadically for more than a decade and following stints in both Santana and the California Raisins (!?!), Buddy Miles convened a new Buddy Miles Express in the mid-'90s. Producer Bill Laswell was given the (short-lived) Black Arc imprint of Rykodisc, and Hell and Back was one of two initial releases to feature Miles (the ... see all copies from $13.70! new only from $13.70!
25 view cover	Blues Power (1995) more music like this by Albert King This budget reissue delivers big performances in live versions of "Born Under a Bad Sign" and the title track. Sandwiched in between are studio versions of "Sun Gone Down (Take 1)," "Match Box Blues," and "Angel of Mercy." Prime string-bending and soulful singing in a budget package that really gets the job done. Cub Koda, All Music Guide see all copies from $5.37! new only from $5.37!
