1	His Best [MCA] (1997) more music like this by Sonny Boy Williamson While some hardliners will point to his early 1950s Trumpet recordings as his most undiluted work, Sonny Boy's tenure at Chess Records was his longest and most successful and therefore deserves first look for the novice coming to this remarkable bluesman at ground level. This 20-track collection takes 17 tracks from the excellent two-disc ... see all copies from $6.41! new only from $6.41!
2	Toulouse Street (1972) more music like this by The Doobie Brothers Toulouse Street was the album by which most of their fans began discovering the Doobie Brothers, and it has retained a lot of its freshness over the decades. Producer Ted Templeman was attuned to the slightly heavier and more Southern style the band wanted to work toward on this, their second album, and the results were not only profitable -- ... see all copies from $2.34! new only from $5.16!
3	Chess Blues (1992) more music like this by Various Artists Chess Blues is a superlative four-CD box set featuring important tracks by all the main stars of the label (Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson), as well as much previously unreleased material. A well-done retrospective of Chicago blues in its heyday, as recorded by America's greatest blues label, Chess. Cub Koda, All ... see all copies from $29.99! new only from $53.07!
4	Blues Blues Blues (1998) more music like this by Jimmy Rogers All-Stars Jimmy Rogers was very much a musician's musician -- the kind of guitarist that earned accolades from contemporaries and successors alike -- yet one who never wins a wide, mainstream audience. Blues Blues Blues was designed as the album that would find Rogers a larger audience, and as such, it has all the bells and whistles of a big-deal blues ... see all copies from $16.85! new only from $16.85!
5	The Essential Blues [House of Blues] (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Essential Blues is an attempt to trace the evolution of the music from the Mississippi Delta to Chicago and other modern, urban cities. It does a fairly good job in providing a brief history, but the main strength of the collection simply comes from the music. Featuring cuts from Lightnin' Hopkins, Howlin' Wolf, B.B. King, Slim Harpo, Junior ... see all copies from $6.98!
6	Blues Masters, Vol. 2: Postwar Chicago Blues (1992) more music like this by Various Artists Excellent 18 track compendium of all the major movers and shakers who helped shape the Chicago blues scene in the 50s. Everyone is well represented here, and major stars like Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf stand next to behind-the-scenes geniuses like Earl Hooker and Jody Williams for an interesting, and accurate, blend. Cub Koda, All Music Guide see all copies from $14.99!
7	Blues Classics: Millennium Collection - 20th Century Masters (2003) more music like this by Various Artists There is no doubt that all of the tracks on this collection are indeed blues classics. B.B. King's "The Thrill Is Gone," Muddy Waters' "Got My Mojo Working," and Big Mama Thornton's "Hound Dog" are just three of the signature songs found here. With so many blues anthologies on the market, though, this compilation suffers for its brief length, and ... see all copies from $8.99! new only from $9.09!
8	The Unissued 1963 Blues Festival (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Recorded in West Germany on the American Folk Blues Festival tour, The Unissued 1963 Blues Festival captures smoking performances by Memphis Slim (four tracks), Sonny Boy Williamson (five), and Matt "Guitar" Murphy (two). Portions of this tour have seen previous release, but this particular show was formerly quite rare. Steve Huey, All Music ... see all copies from $11.96! new only from $11.96!
9	Blowin' the Blues [Universal Special Products] (2001) more music like this by Various Artists The Universal Special Products compilation Blowin' the Blues does a fair job of introducing ten of the best-known harmonica wizards of the 20th century, with considerable space given to the masters of Chicago blues: Sonny Boy Williamson, James Cotton, Little Walter, Howlin' Wolf, and Junior Wells. Also included are legendary cuts by Slim Harpo ( ... see all copies from $5.49! new only from $5.49!
10	The Best of Chess Blues, Vol. 1 (1990) more music like this by Various Artists Yet another of many Chess starter discs, Best of Chess Blues, Vol. 1 offers a slim but strong mix of classic Chicago blues from the late ‘40s through the ‘50s. Including several key electric blues cuts and plenty seeds from which both early rock ‘n' roll and the bluesier side of the British Invasion took inspiration, the 14 tracks touch on both ... see all copies from $9.78!
11 view cover	The Blues, Vol. 1 [Chess/MCA] (1990) more music like this by Various Artists Even though Chess should be releasing collections with more than just over 30 minutes of music on them, this thin blues roundup from the legendary Chicago label's vaults still works well enough as a sampler of vintage electric blues. Recorded between 1952 and 1960, the 12 tracks spotlight such legends as Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, ... see all copies from $2.00!
12 view cover	Chess Blues Classics: 1947 to 1956 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Part of a two-volume set as part of MCA's Chess 50th Anniversary collection, this offers a 16-track thumbnail sketch of the sounds that made the label the tops in the blues field. Beginning with two Aristocrat sides (the label's original moniker) from 1948 and 1949 featuring Muddy Waters ("I Can't Be Satisfied") and Little Johnny Jones ("Big Town ... see all copies from $6.49!
13 view cover	Discoverin' the Blues (1995) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $11.24!
14 view cover	Mellow Fellow (1993) more music like this by Fenton Robinson Clearly, the folks at Sound Stage 7 Records had no idea what Fenton Robinson was all about during his 1970-1971 stay there. Hell, they even took the guitar out of his hands altogether at one dreadful session reproduced on this 19-track retrospective in its entirety, entrusting the lead work instead to some pitiful rock players better left ... see all copies from $39.40!
15 view cover	Payin' for My Sins (1999) more music like this by Grady Champion For his second recording, the young Champion proves to be a decent, basic harmonica player, he's not featured on every cut. He wrote or co-wrote 9 of the 13 tracks. His voice is rough, more a shouter and screamer than a trained singer, sandpaper over silk, with imprecise phrasings. But as you go through the entire program it kinda grows on you, ... see all copies from $4.99!
16 view cover	Tellin' My Story (2003) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $4.31! new only from $4.31!
17 view cover	Down and Out Blues/In Memorium (2004) more music like this by Sonny Boy Williamson [II] In 2004, the Beat Goes On label reissued two legendary Sonny Boy Williamson (aka Rice Miller) albums, Down and Out Blues and In Memorium, originally released on Chess Records in 1959 and 1965, respectively. Both albums combined deliver 23 raucous cuts of Chicago blues, including the standards "Don't Start Me to Talkin'," "One Way Out," "Bring It ... see all copies from $17.09! new only from $24.49!
18 view cover	Generations of Blues, Vol. 2: Born in Chicago (1998) more music like this by Various Artists The blues were not born, but did evolve in Chicago, as did the majority of artists on this collection. The most blatant non-Chi-Town exception is John Mayall, with most others coming up from the Delta. Still this is a decent collection of classic blues, especially with the tracks from Muddy Waters, Jimmy Reed, Little Walter, James Cotton, Son ... see all copies from $3.72! new only from $3.72!
19 view cover	Midnight Blues [Universal] (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Bourbon Street may be on the cover, but Midnight Blues has its heart in Chicago and its mind on Texas. Throughout its ten tracks, MCA Special Products' Midnight Blues runs through some of the biggest names in modern electric blues -- Sonny Boy Williamson ("Don't Start Me to Talkin'"), Bobby Bland ("Twenty-Four Hour Blues"), B.B. King ("Midnight ... see all copies from $15.29! new only from $15.29!
20 view cover	The Best of Sonny Boy Williamson [Chess] more music like this by Sonny Boy Williamson II see all copies from $6.82! new only from $6.82!
21 view cover	Stax: Superblues, Vol. 2: All-Time Classic Blues Hits (1991) more music like this by Various Artists More soul and R&B influences are heard on this volume than the first, though it's not a detriment. The 18 tracks include prize items by Guitar Slim, Lloyd Price, Lowell Fulson, Elmore James, and Sonny Boy Williamson, with some bluesy Southern soul by O.V. Wright and Johnnie Taylor. Also included are some little-anthologized gems, most notably Gene ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!
22 view cover	Down and Out Blues (1959) more music like this by Sonny Boy Williamson II Retaining photographer Don Bronstein's cover shot of a disheveled bum lying on the sidewalk (some former Chess artist, perhaps?) Sonny Boy Williamson's original 1959 album made it to digital reissue but has now been supplanted by MCA's exhaustive The Essential Sonny Boy Williamson. Still, for a budget price, there are a dozen unforgettable tracks: ... see all copies from $45.02! new only from $45.02!
23	Dirty Blues Band (1967) more music like this by Dirty Blues Band While the Dirty Blues Band's self-titled debut is nothing more than an ordinary late-'60s blues-rock record, it has its value as a curiosity. That's due to the presence of a 19-year-old Rod Piazza on lead vocals and Glenn Ross Campbell, formerly of the great but obscure psychedelic group the Misunderstood, on steel guitar. Unfortunately, Campbell, ... see all copies from $41.89! new only from $41.89!
24 view cover	Blowing the Fuse: 29 R&B Classics That Rocked the Jukebox in 1955 (2005) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $26.40! new only from $26.40!
25 view cover	Essential Blues Hits (2003) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $7.80! new only from $7.80!
