1	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!
2	BBC Sessions (1998) more music like this by Jimi Hendrix These are the recordings that Jimi Hendrix made for BBC radio in the late '60s. As such, they're loose, informal, and off-the-top-of-his-head improvisational fun. These versions of the hits "Foxey Lady," "Fire," two versions of "Purple Haze," and "Hey Joe" stay surprisingly close to the studio versions, but the tone of Hendrix's guitar on these is ... see all copies from $17.50! new only from $19.00!
3	The Rough Guide to Delta Blues (2002) more music like this by Various Artists A fantastic compilation that really does span the length of Mississippi Delta blues, from the early days of the Mississippi Sheiks and Charley Patton (with the classic "High Water Everywhere Part One") through to the modern but equally rooted sounds of Asie Payton, R.L. Burnside, and the late Junior Kimbrough. And it's every bit as thorough in ... see all copies from $13.42! new only from $13.42!
4	Mississippi to Mali (2003) more music like this by Corey Harris Corey Harris is adept at combining contemporary sensibilities with traditional country blues forms in a manner so natural that the cracks and fissures between now and then never seem to show, an accomplishment he expands on Mississippi to Mali to include two continents. Again, the music flows so naturally that the bridges and welds that join the ... see all copies from $11.79! new only from $11.79!
5	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 $15.61! new only from $15.61!
6	The Best of the Early Years (2007) more music like this by B.B. King There have been numerous compilations of the best of B.B. King's recordings for the Modern label in the 1950s and early '60s, and if you've already picked up one of them, there isn't an urgent reason to replace or upgrade it with this CD. If not, however, this certainly makes a good bid to be considered as the best single-disc anthology of this ... see all copies from $16.65! new only from $16.65!
7	Radio One (1989) more music like this by Jimi Hendrix Experience Seventeen songs from 1967 BBC broadcasts, when the Jimi Hendrix Experience had yet to burn out from the wheel of constant touring, management hassles, and internal strife. They're in good, enthusiastic form as they run through early gems like "Hey Joe," "Foxy Lady," "Fire," and "Stone Free," the lack of studio polish giving these versions a loose ... see all copies from $7.95!
8	Canned Heat (1967) more music like this by Canned Heat This debut long-player from Canned Heat was issued shortly after their appearance at the Monterey International Pop Music Festival. That performance, for all intents and purposes, was not only the combo's entrée into the burgeoning underground rock & roll scene, but was also among the first high-profile showcases to garner national and ... see all copies from $4.77! new only from $4.77!
9	Canned Heat/Boogie with Canned Heat (2003) more music like this by Canned Heat It's about time these early Canned Heat albums were made available once again! Thanks in part to their appearance in the Monterey Pop and later Woodstock festival films, these two albums, especially Boogie With Canned Heat, built Canned Heat's reputation as a top-notch white blues band of the late '60s. The self-titled disc from 1967 features a ... see all copies from $19.16! new only from $19.16!
10	World Don't Owe Me Nothing (1997) more music like this by David "Honeyboy" Edwards This is a companion disc to Honeyboy Edwards' autobiography of the same name. It features full-length performances along with interview segments that tell some of the great stories of the blues, particularly trenchant being Edwards' version of the night of Robert Johnson's death. Musical high points include several turns on Johnson material like ... see all copies from $15.33! new only from $15.33!
11 view cover	Between Midnight and Day (1995) more music like this by Corey Harris An astonishingly good record, covering a multitude of Delta-based styles and songs from Charley Patton to Muddy Waters, as well as a few originals. It's just Harris and his acoustic guitar, some dazzling finger work and a voice that's about as good as you're going to hear from anyone doing blues and still walking around at the end of the 20th ... see all copies from $16.26! new only from $16.26!
12	Anthology (1994) more music like this by Jimi Hendrix see all copies from $69.99!
13 view cover	Blues Masters, Vol. 8: Mississippi Delta Blues (1993) more music like this by Various Artists The title for this volume is a bit of a misnomer. While there is easily half a compilation's worth of authentic acoustic material here (including classics by Tommy Johnson, Charley Patton, Willie Brown, and Robert Johnson), the inclusion of tracks by B.B. and Albert King and recorded in Chicago sides by Howlin' Wolf, Elmore James and Robert ... see all copies from $8.36! new only from $8.36!
14 view cover	Mississippi Blues (1935-1951) (1991) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $17.41! new only from $17.41!
15 view cover	Six Strings (2005) more music like this by Ian Moss see all copies from $40.79! new only from $40.79!
16 view cover	Further History of Progressive Blues (2005) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $19.19! new only from $19.19!
17 view cover	Blues Blues: December 10, 1975 (2005) more music like this by David Honeyboy Edwards see all copies from $22.84! new only from $22.84!
18 view cover	Best of Blues and R&B: From Trumpet Records (2003) more music like this by Various Artists This five-CD box gathers together raucous Delta blues and early R&B sides recorded for Trumpet Records from 1951-1952. Collectables previously sold these volumes separately as a five-volume series called Trumpet Masters. The first disc covers the loose piano workouts of Willie Love and the last disc is exclusively Sonny Boy Williamson II sides. ... see all copies from $117.35! new only from $117.35!
19 view cover	The Rough Guides: American Roots Box (2003) more music like this by Various Artists It's not a bad idea at all, putting four of the Rough Guide albums together to make up the American Roots Box set. And four excellent ones have been chosen for this, pulling from the diverse corners of American roots music to round things out. So there's Cajun & Zydeco, Delta Blues, Bluegrass, and Gospel. All intelligently compiled, covering both ... see all copies from $41.23! new only from $41.23!
20 view cover	Martin Scorsese Presents the Blues: A Musical Journey (2003) more music like this by Original Soundtrack This five-disc, 116-track box set presents a sweeping history of the blues from its emergence in the early 1900s clear through to its various contemporary guises, and includes samples of country blues in all of its regional variations, as well as cuts from string bands, jug bands, jazz combos, gritty Chicago blues outfits, and a look at how rock ... see all copies from $59.95! new only from $59.95!
21 view cover	Roots of Rock [Acrobat] (2003) more music like this by Various Artists These tracks aren't so much the roots of rock as they are a set of country blues sides recorded in the 1920s, '30s and '40s that were later successfully covered by various rock groups and performers, including Skip James' "I'm So Glad," Charley Patton's "A Spoonful Blues," Robert Johnson's "Cross Roads Blues," Kokomo Arnold's "Milk Cow Blues," and ... see all copies from $13.59! new only from $13.59!
22 view cover	Cotton Pickin' Blues (2003) more music like this by Tommy McClennan/Robert Petway The pairing of Tommy McClennan and Robert Petway on a single disc makes a lot of sense, given that both recorded solely for Bluebird Records (McClennan cut 40 sides for the label between 1939 and 1942, while Petway recorded 16 sides in two sessions in 1941 and 1942) and since both shared a somewhat similar guitar and vocal style, even recording ... see all copies from $6.82! new only from $6.82!
23 view cover	Century of the Blues: The Definitve Country Blues Collection (2003) more music like this by Various Artists The idea is simple enough -- celebrate a century of blues by releasing a four-CD box set with the 100 greatest blues tracks ever. And, to be fair, they have the artists, everyone from Bessie Smith to Robert Johnson, and Muddy Waters to Mississippi John Hurt. But quality is always in the ear of the beholder, and these aren't always the greatest ... see all copies from $32.17! new only from $32.17!
24 view cover	Big Joe Williams and Friends (2000) more music like this by Big Joe Williams Here's what should be listed under "various artists," as it's a real hodgepodge of great stuff. What we have are seven of Big Joe's eight Trumpet recordings, along with four tracks by Luther Huff, a pair from Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup that were originally issued under the pseudonym Elmer James, and the stray recording of Bobo Thomas' "Catfish ... see all copies from $20.75! new only from $20.75!
25 view cover	Man's Temptation (1999) more music like this by The Rockin' Johnny Band Johnny Burgin's second recording features his band alone, no special stars or guests, and they stand up quite well instrumentally and traditionally. Tinges of rockabilly, soul or pop may creep in, but they play Chicago style blues in a manner very similar to Paul Butterfield. They may be more like Butter, especially Johnny's vocals, than any band ... see all copies from $14.55! new only from $14.55!
