1	New Moon Daughter (1995) more music like this by Cassandra Wilson Singer Cassandra Wilson, who has had a rather diverse career that has ranged from the free funk of M-Base to standards à la Betty Carter, has in recent times adopted a folk-oriented style a little reminiscent of Nina Simone. On New Moon Daughter her repertoire ranges from U2 to Son House, from Hoagy Carmichael to Hank Williams ("I'm So Lonesome I ... see all copies from $3.50! new only from $11.13!
2	Father of the Delta Blues: The Complete 1965 Sessions (1992) more music like this by Son House After being rediscovered by the folk-blues community in the early '60s, Son House rose to the occasion and recorded this magnificent set of performances. Allowed to stretch out past the shorter running time of the original 78s, House turns in wonderful, steaming performances of some of his best-known material. On some tracks, House is supplemented ... see all copies from $6.98! new only from $17.76!
3	De Stijl (2000) more music like this by The White Stripes Despite their reputation as garage rock revivalists, the White Stripes display an impressive range of styles on their second album, De Stijl, which is Dutch for "the style." Perhaps the album's diversity -- which incorporates elements of bubblegum, cabaret, blues, and classic rock -- shouldn't come as a surprise from a band that dedicates its ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $11.11!
4	Trouble No More (2003) more music like this by John Mellencamp Trouble No More, John Mellencamp's first covers album, came together rather quickly, following his performance of Robert Johnson's "Stones in My Passway" at a tribute concert for the late Billboard editor Timothy White. From all accounts, it was one of the highlights of the show, and it lead to this quickly recorded collection of covers. In a ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.37!
5	The Original Delta Blues (1998) more music like this by Son House Columbia/Legacy's The Original Delta Blues is a fine distillation of the label's double-disc set Father of the Delta Blues, containing 16 highlights from that comprehensive overview of his '60s rediscovery recordings. Curious listeners who are intimidated by the size of the previous set are advised to pick up this terrific sampler instead. ... see all copies from $5.33! new only from $5.33!
6	What a Life (2007) more music like this by L.A. Blues Alliance Mike Post is best known for composing the theme songs for such hit TV shows as Law & Order, Rockford Files and Hill Street Blues. So, it may come as a surprise that another side of his musical passion is the blues! The initial disc by Post assembled L.A. Blues Alliance to record What a Life live in the studio; they did it with only a few takes, if ... see all copies from $14.48! new only from $14.48!
7	Switcheroo (2005) more music like this by The Resentments see all copies from $13.33! new only from $13.33!
8	Memphis Blood: The Sun Sessions (2001) more music like this by James Blood Ulmer Over three days in April 2001, James "Blood" Ulmer and producer/guitarist Vernon Reid (yes, of Living Colour fame) went into the legendary Sun Studios in Memphis and kicked out some of the greasiest, knottiest, most surreal blues music ever. The blues have always been part of Ulmer's iconography, even when deeply entrenched in the harmolodic ... see all copies from $12.09! new only from $12.09!
9	Women of Spirit (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Women of Spirit is a collection spotlighting music from all over the world made by female artists, from the U.S. and British Isles to South America, Africa, and the Mediterranean. As such, it's musically incoherent, even schizophrenic, and the stylistic leaps can result in a jarring listen, but the all-over-the-map approach does make an intriguing ... see all copies from $10.44!
10	Shaker (2002) more music like this by David Johansen & The Harry Smiths When one looks back at David Johansen's body of work, it's not difficult to get the feeling you're watching an actor who has slipped in and out of a number of character roles over the years; there was the trashy glam punk libertine of his New York Dolls days, the swaggering hard rock belter on his '70s and '80s solo albums, the over-the-top ... see all copies from $16.49! new only from $16.65!
11 view cover	Malediction & Prayer (1998) more music like this by Diamanda Galas Diamanda Galas' CD of live covers (of B.B. King, the Supremes, Johnny Cash and Billie Holiday songs, among others) is one of her most accessible works to date. Her screaming, demonic, cacophonous vocal style has been tamed, and throughout Greek anti-ballads to blues, spirituals, and flamenco-classical hybrids, Galas' voice is shown to be a ... see all copies from $14.95! new only from $15.28!
12 view cover	Dine Under the Stars (2000) more music like this by David Gogo see all copies from $14.82! new only from $14.82!
13 view cover	Great Night in Harlem (2002) more music like this by Various Artists It's kind of hard to fathom that there were any other worthwhile charities aside from the 9/11 relief fund in the fall of 2001, but many of jazz's best performers found one to dedicate one spectacular night to. This September 24, 2001, concert held at the Apollo Theater gathered many of traditional jazz's best and brightest to raise money for the ... see all copies from $19.30!
14 view cover	Martin Scorsese Presents the Blues: Son House (2003) more music like this by Son House This collection spotlights the great Delta bluesman Son House at three distinct points in his life. Included here are three of his 78s issued in the 1930s by Paramount Records, several of the Library of Congress field recordings done by Alan Lomax in 1941-1942, and a sampling of rediscovered 1960s concert pieces, including a riveting version of ... see all copies from $31.20! new only from $31.20!
15 view cover	Revisited (2002) more music like this by Son House Revisited is a double-disc of live Son House recordings from the Mississippi delta blues legend's twilight years on the folk revival circuit. Disc one is a mid-'60s performance at Oberlin College; after a scholarly introduction by his then-manager Dick Waterman, House starts out in fine form, prefacing each song with long, discursive monologues ... see all copies from $10.50!
16 view cover	Demanding to Be Next (2004) more music like this by Preacher Boy Preacher Boy might be a young white boy singing the blues, but think Tom Waits and Captain Beefheart more than Led Zeppelin and Bad Company, and throw in some Townes Van Zandt and Gillian Welch as well. For his fifth album, Preacher Boy (known to his mother by the decidedly less bluesy moniker Christopher Watkins) for the first time performs in a ... see all copies from $7.95!
17 view cover	Blues Band Box (2005) more music like this by The Blues Band see all copies from $12.00! new only from $60.47!
18 view cover	Martin Scorsese Presents the Blues: Warming by the Devil's Fire (2003) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Of all the directors who did films in the Martin Scorsese Presents the Blues series, Charles Burnett has the most direct connection to the music. Born in Mississippi in 1944, Burnett grew up listening to the Delta sounds as the came from the radio in his home, and the Chicago innovations of the music as it developed there by Delta artists. On the ... see all copies from $11.80! new only from $13.59!
19 view cover	Nothin' But the Blues [Sony Special Products] (2001) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $4.88! new only from $4.88!
20 view cover	The Best of Southern Blues [Fuel 2000] (2004) more music like this by Various Artists This may not be the best anthology ever of Southern blues, but it sure has a lot of great material on its two discs (which could have easily been squeezed onto one disc, by the way), from Delta classics like Son House's "Death Letter" and Tommy Johnson's "Canned Heat Blues" to rock & roll-era stompers like Ike Turner's "Get It Over Baby" and Rufus ... see all copies from $23.24! new only from $23.24!
21 view cover	Me and the Devil/I Asked for Water (1998) more music like this by Tony McPhee These two compilations, paired up here on a double-CD set, were just among the many to come out in the late '60s dedicated to British blues. And every single one seemed to feature the remarkable Jo-Ann Kelly (simply one of the best blues singers of any time and place, who sadly died in 1990) and Tony McPhee, who'd go on to greater fame and fortune ... see all copies from $29.22! new only from $29.22!
22 view cover	Legends of the Blues, Vol. 1 (1991) more music like this by Various Artists This CD serves as a perfect introduction to pre-war blues for the novice since it contains fine examples of the music of 20 blues artists: Bessie Smith, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Mississippi John Hurt, Blind Willie Johnson, Bo Carter, Blind Willie McTell, Lonnie Johnson, Charley Patton, Leroy Carr, Josh White, Leadbelly, Peetie Wheatstraw, Robert ... see all copies from $19.77! new only from $19.77!
