1	Last Session (1960) more music like this by Blind Willie McTell This recording has a less-than-stellar reputation, principally because it was done so late in McTell's career, and it is true that he lacks some of the edge, especially in his singing, that he showed on his other postwar recordings. On the other hand, his 12-string playing is about as nimble as ever and a real treat. McTell cut these sides for ... see all copies from $8.03! new only from $8.03!
2	The Classic Years 1927-1940 (2003) more music like this by Blind Willie McTell There are some box sets that seem like overkill, beyond the pale for all but the very most hardcore fans, and others -- a little more obvious in their justification -- that never achieve much currency beyond the ranks of the serious fans and as easy Christmas ideas for their relatives. And then there are the ones that, based on the sheer ... see all copies from $24.24! new only from $24.24!
3	The Best of Blind Willie McTell (2004) more music like this by Blind Willie McTell No one less than Bob Dylan penned the lyric that stated, "nobody can sing the blues, like Blind Willie McTell." McTell's '20s and '30s work reminds one slightly of Robert Johnson's work in the '30s, with notable differences. While McTell has the same dexterity as a guitarist, combining single-note runs with rhythmic aplomb, his singing is never as ... see all copies from $14.02! new only from $14.02!
4	The Definitive Blind Willie McTell [Columbia/Legacy] (1994) more music like this by Blind Willie McTell This double-CD set is a little misleading. It is definitive, but only in terms of McTell's Columbia and Okeh sides -- you won't find "Statesboro Blues" or his other earliest sides here, because they were done for Victor. But the material that is here is all worthwhile, and this is the best single source for McTell's work for those labels (done ... see all copies from $14.50! new only from $14.50!
5	Definitive Blind Willie McTell [Catfish] (2002) more music like this by Blind Willie McTell A three-disc, 74-track box set of Blind Willie McTell's prewar 78s, this collection from Britain's Catfish Records clearly replaces the Sony/Legacy double disc (also called The Definitive Blind Willie McTell) that was released in 1994. The Catfish set offers better sound, and where the Sony anthology collects sides from the Vocalion, Okeh, and ... see all copies from $20.01! new only from $28.56!
6	Folk, Gospel & Blues: Will the Circle Be Unbroken (1999) more music like this by Various Artists The scope of the 45-track Folk, Gospel & Blues: Will the Circle Be Unbroken, culled from the gargantuan 26-disc box set Sony Music 100 Years: Soundtrack for a Century, is impressive. Columbia was one of the biggest labels in the early days of the record industry, as is evident from the beginning of this collection, which features cuts by Bessie ... see all copies from $5.84!
7	Mr. McTell Got the Blues (2004) more music like this by Blind Willie McTell This two-disc collection assembles some 40 of Georgia bluesman Blind Willie McTell's early 78s recorded for the Victor, Columbia, Okeh, Vocalion, and Decca labels between 1927 and 1935 into a two-disc set, including the magnificent "Statesboro Blues." These recordings feature the early McTell, when his voice was still a high and expressive tenor. ... see all copies from $11.24! new only from $11.24!
8	Giants of Country Blues, Vol. 1 (1927-1938) (1998) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $10.78! new only from $10.78!
