His Best [MCA]

His Best [MCA] (1997) more music like this

by Sonny Boy Williamson

While some hardliners will point to his early 1950s Trumpet recordings as his most undiluted work, Sonny Boy's tenure at Chess Records was his longest and most successful and therefore deserves first look for the novice coming to this remarkable bluesman at ground level. This 20-track collection takes 17 tracks from the excellent two-disc ...

Blues Gold [Hip O]

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 ...

Mulholland Drive

Mulholland Drive (2001) more music like this

by Original Score

Like every collaboration between David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti, Mulholland Drive's soundtrack is equally eerie, elegant, and eclectic, spanning the up-tempo swing of "Jitterbug" and the haunting drones of the film's main theme in its first two tracks alone. Badalamenti's work ranges from the jazzy "Dinner Party Pool Music" to the ominous ...

The Chess Box

The Chess Box (1989) more music like this

by Willie Dixon

This was the most unusual, and probably the most difficult to assemble of MCA's Chess Box series, mostly because of the unusual nature of Willie Dixon's contribution to Chess Records. To be sure, Dixon rates a place in the history of the label right alongside that of Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, and Little Walter, but his role was more subtle than ...

The Real Folk Blues

The Real Folk Blues (1965) more music like this

by Sonny Boy Williamson

Part of Chess' long line of introductory blues compilations, Sonny Boy Williamson's Real Folk Blues keeps up the high standard with another solid batch of classic Chicago blues. Mostly taken from his last years in the first half of the '60s, the 12 cuts here represent some of the best of Williamson's juke joint and dancefloor-friendly mix. Helping ...

The Real Folk Blues/More Real Folk Blues

The Real Folk Blues/More Real Folk Blues (2002) more music like this

by Sonny Boy Williamson

Like other entries in the Chess Real Folk Blues series, Sonny Boy Williamson's The Real Folk Blues and More Real Folk Blues (here combined onto one CD) were not really folk, and not really regular albums. Rather, they were somewhat arbitrarily chosen compilations, titled to appeal to the crowd that had gotten turned onto the blues during the 1960s ...

Colin James and the Little Big Band II [Canada] (2007) more music like this

by Colin James

While the late '90s may be remembered as the era of the swing revival movement, Colin James was one of the first artists to rediscover this popular musical style of yesteryear. Although James started out first and foremost as a blues guitarist, he'd been a lover of swing since he was a teen, deciding to ditch his blues-rock for 1993's Colin James ...

The Devil's Music (2003) more music like this

by TV Original Soundtrack

The Devil's Music is the three-disc soundtrack to a BBC television documentary on American blues that aired originally in 1976 at the height of the punk explosion in Britain. What makes this an important set are the many old blues artists captured here doing new live versions of their signature songs; and since many of them have since passed on, ...

In the Pocket: A Taste of Blues Harmonica (2002) more music like this

by Various Artists

It's nearly impossible to think of any traditional blues band without one of their members blowing on a harmonica. This collection of great mouth organ players begins with Ronnie Earl performing "Mighty Fine Boogie," a song living up to its name. James Cotton's harmonica begins to take a more prominent role as the song progresses, but it's only ...

Acid Daze, Vol. 3 (1990) more music like this

by Hawkwind

The third volume of the Acid Daze series culls material from Hawkwind's early days, when the band was little more than a folk-blues act with slightly offbeat lyrics and occasional production quirks. Newcomers accustomed to thundering space rock epics like "Psychedelic Warlords" and "Brainstorm" will be mystified by the Yardbirds sound-alikes ...

Mississippi bluesman Lonnie Pitchford makes good on his claim with All Around Man. Voted as one of the 40 best under-40 blues musicians by Living Blues magazine a few years back, Pitchford is an accomplished pianist and rhythm, slide and lead guitarist, as well as a master of the diddley bow, a one-stringed instrument he has played since the age ...

Down and Out Blues/In Memorium (2004) more music like this

In 2004, the Beat Goes On label reissued two legendary Sonny Boy Williamson (aka Rice Miller) albums, Down and Out Blues and In Memorium, originally released on Chess Records in 1959 and 1965, respectively. Both albums combined deliver 23 raucous cuts of Chicago blues, including the standards "Don't Start Me to Talkin'," "One Way Out," "Bring It ...

Bakerloo (1969) more music like this

by Bakerloo

One of the first acts signed to the fledgling Harvest label in 1969, Bakerloo were very much a product of their time, a hard-hitting progressive blues band whose predilections ranged from a straightforward assimilation of Willie Dixon to some positively dazzling flashes of instrumental prowess. Guitarist Dave Clempson's "Big Bear Folly," the ...

Reiter In (2006) more music like this

by Chris Whitley & The Bastard Club

One has to wonder if Reiter In is, in fact, the late Chris Whitley's last will and testament in terms of recordings. Done in the first three days of June, 2005 -- he was already ill -- this set was recorded in New York with a host of friends he called "the Bastard Club" on analogue tape. The band is large, the sound is immediate. The feel is loose ...

This is a great sampler of the finest in classic Chicago blues -- perfect for those listeners who are looking for a taste of the best of the genre. Included are "Evil" by Howlin' Wolf (two wolf-tracks in all); "'Rollin' and Tumblin'" by Muddy Waters (five); "Walkin' the Boogie" by John Lee Hooker (one); "Bring It on Home" by Sonny Boy Williamson ...
