1	I Was Walking Through the Woods (1974) more music like this by Buddy Guy This slim yet potent sampler of Guy's excellent early-'60s work for Chess will no doubt please newcomers looking for a bargain introduction to the blues guitarist/vocalist's prime sides. With his guitar tapped for maximum intensity, spiky and tremolo-heavy, and those vocals all pathos-rich screams and in-the-pocket bravado, Guy especially hits ... see all copies from $3.95! new only from $7.90!
2	Box of the Blues (2003) more music like this by Various Artists Rounder's four-CD Box of the Blues is, by looking at its inclusion of tracks, seemingly an ambitious proposition. But looks can be deceiving. Compiled and introduced by vice president of A&R Scott Billington -- a man whose credentials, when it comes to fighting for and preserving blues traditions, are unassailable -- these discs become a kind of ... see all copies from $21.37! new only from $21.37!
3	The Swingtime Records Story (1994) more music like this by Various Artists A black entrepreneur named Jack Lauderdale, for a period of a half dozen years, ran the Swingtime label -- and its myriad subsidiaries -- and his story is nicely told through the music on this wonderful two-disc box set. Lauderdale was no two bit hustler; he had both vision and ambition. He recorded everything from big band jump blues to piano ... see all copies from $6.49!
4	This Is Blues (2007) more music like this by Various Artists There are countless blues compilations out there, and at first glance, this two-disc, 30-track selection doesn't seem to be anything special, but a closer look reveals that it covers a fairly wide spectrum, both in the number of blues styles it includes (prewar country-blues to Chicago blues, jump blues, folk-blues and more) and in the years it ... see all copies from $50.00!
5	Best of the Blues [Box] (2000) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $3.88! new only from $9.35!
6	Midnight Blues [Madacy] (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Midnight Blues delivers just what the title promises: a collection of some of the blues' most memorable songs and artists, including Lightnin' Hopkins' "Lonesome Dog Blues," Leadbelly's "Goodnight Irene," Memphis Slim's "Cold Blooded Woman," and B.B. King's "Catfish Blues." Big Joe Williams' "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out," Charles ... see all copies from $3.19! new only from $11.86!
7	Buddy Guy (1983) more music like this by Buddy Guy This early roundup of guitarist/singer Buddy Guy's prime Chess cuts makes for the perfect introductory disc: It's full of gems and going for a bargain rate. Taken from his 1960-1967 tenure with the Chicago label, the 12 tracks find Guy bursting with manic energy, wielding those Guitar Slim-inspired licks and high-toned, hellfire vocals throughout. ... see all copies from $27.24! new only from $40.22!
8	Collection (2001) more music like this by Buddy Guy see all copies from $5.03!
9	Complete Works in Chronological Order, Vol. 3 (1937) (1995) more music like this by Lil Johnson & Barrel House Annie This CD has the final 20 recordings by the good-time hokum/blues singer Lil Johnson, including eight performances that were previously unreleased. It seems strange, considering how much she recorded, that virtually nothing is known about her. Backed by a variety of partly unknown combos (with Black Bob, Aletha Robinson, or Blind John Davis mostly ... see all copies from $13.43! new only from $13.43!
10	Best of the Blues [2005 Madacy] (2005) more music like this by Various Artists This two-disc set from Madacy hardly qualifies as the best of the blues, since many of the tracks are live cuts that don't have the best sound, but there are some solid performances here, including Pee Wee Crayton's loping "Blues in the Ghetto," Screamin' Jay Hawkins' classic "I Put a Spell on You," Lightnin' Hopkins' "Mojo Hand," and a muffled ... see all copies from $5.47! new only from $5.47!
11	1936-1937 "Hottest Gal in Town" (1991) more music like this by Lil Johnson Although this fine singer represents a link in the classic chain of recordings by the "Classic Blues Singers," she is actually a few steps closer to the down-home blues essence than many of her peers. Here Johnson applies an earthy, conversational style employing frequent and effective use of vibrato to material ranging from risqué ensemble ... see all copies from $16.98!
12 view cover	Chess Blues Guitar: Two Decades of Killer Fretwork, 1949-1969 (1998) more music like this by Various Artists This 45-song, two-disc collection is subtitled "two decades of killer fretwork," and never was a set so aptly described. Chess Records was the home to seemingly every hot guitar player in the Chicago area, and many of them make their appearance here. Besides the usual label guitar hotshots (Muddy Waters, Jimmy Rogers, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, ... see all copies from $21.98!
13 view cover	The Complete Chess Studio Sessions (1992) more music like this by Buddy Guy Here's everything that fleet-fingered Buddy Guy waxed for Chess from 1960 to 1966, including numerous unissued-at-the-time masters, offering the most in-depth peek at his formative years imaginable. Stone Chicago blues classics ("Ten Years Ago," "My Time After Awhile," "Let Me Love You Baby," "Stone Crazy"), rockin' oddities ("American Bandstand," ... see all copies from $64.95! new only from $64.95!
14	Opportunity Blues (1976) more music like this by Floyd Dixon Vinyl-only examination of the pianist's early sides for several West Coast R&B indies that spans 1948-1961. Dixon's ballad style was quite reminiscent of Charles Brown's but his jump blues leanings -- here typified by "Wine, Wine, Wine" and "Real Lovin' Mama" -- were all his own. Bill Dahl, All Music Guide see all copies from $25.00!
