The Complete Recordings [Columbia #1]

by
Robert Johnson
A double-disc box set containing everything Robert Johnson ever recorded, The Complete Recordings is essential listening, but it is also slightly problematic. The problems aren't in the music itself, of course, which is stunning and the fidelity of the recordings is the best it ever has been or ever will be. Instead, it's in the track sequencing. ...

King of the Delta Blues Singers [Bonus Track]

more music like this
by
Robert Johnson
Reading about the power inherent in Robert Johnson's music is one thing, but actually experiencing it is another matter entirely. The official 1998 edition of the original 1961 album was certainly worth the wait, remastered off the best quality original 78s available, of far superior quality to any of the source materials used on even the 1991 ...

Best Blues & Originals collects the highlights from Rory Block's '80s albums for Rounder, saving a bunch of fine tracks from otherwise spotty releases. It's a nice overview and, consequently, a solid introduction to her catalog. Thom Owens, All Music Guide

At the Crossroads: The Blues of Robert Johnson

more music like this
by
John Hammond, Jr.
If Robert Johnson could look down from heaven or up from hell, he'd likely find it very interesting that John Hammond, Jr. had covered his songs. Here is a white guy, after all, who sounds like a black blues singer and chooses -- of his own free will -- to frequently return to the repertoire of an obscure black guitarist/singer from the 1930s. At ...

Although there are dozens of collections like this on the market, there is really no reason to get anything other than the double-disc Complete Recordings on Columbia. It has the best sound, the best annotation, and everything is there. Steve Leggett, All Music Guide

There are three CDs included here, one of which is Hot Foot Powder, the first album by the Peter Green Splinter Group, which included guest performances from the likes of Otis ...

Beginner's Guide to the Blues

by
Various Artists
Nascente's three-disc blues box set is a pretty useful introduction to the blues mainly because of the way it is set up, with the first disc featuring country blues selections, most of them from the 1920s and '30s, followed by a disc of electric urban blues, drawn mainly from the '50s, and a last disc of contemporary performers who are attempting ...

Peter Plays the Blues: The Classic Compositions of Robert Johnson

more music like this
by
Peter Green/Nigel Watson
Peter Green is appropriately reverent on this album of songs written by blues legend Robert Johnson. With Johnson's own recordings readily available, the album isn't really necessary, at least when Green employs the same spare instrumentation as the master. But on tracks like "Cross Road Blues" that use drums, electric bass, and electric guitar in ...
