1	The Parrot Sessions [V.I. Music] (2003) more music like this by J.B. Lenoir With his exuberant and edgy high-pitched vocals, coupled with a sharp, literate writing style, J.B. Lenoir had as singular a vision of the blues as anyone who ever worked in the genre. What is perhaps his best work was done for the Parrot label in 1954 and 1955, sessions that yielded many of his finest songs. Working with twin saxes and the ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $16.39!
2	King of America (1986) more music like this by Elvis Costello Stripping away much of the excess that cluttered Punch the Clock and Goodbye Cruel World, Elvis Costello returned to his folk-rock and pub rock roots with King of America, creating one of his most affecting and personal records. Costello literally took on the album as a return to roots, billing himself by his given name Declan MacManus and ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $13.42!
3	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 $58.39! new only from $58.39!
4	King of America [Ryko Bonus Tracks] (1995) more music like this by Elvis Costello Stripping away much of the excess that cluttered Punch the Clock and Goodbye Cruel World, Elvis Costello returned to his folk-rock and pub rock roots with King of America, creating one of his most affecting and personal records. Costello literally took on the album as a return to roots, billing himself by his given name Declan MacManus and ... see all copies from $6.98! new only from $6.98!
5	Natural Man (1968) more music like this by J.B. Lenoir This collection of J.B. Lenoir's mid-'50s tenure at the label -- originally issued in the '70s -- duplicates two songs from the Parrot collection (a label which Chess later acquired), but the rest of it is more than worth the effort to seek out. The rocking "Don't Touch My Head," the topical "Eisenhower Blues" and the sexually ambiguous, chaotic ... see all copies from $6.46!
6	Chess Blues-Rock Songbook: The Classic Originals (1997) more music like this by Various Artists While Chess Records' legacy as a dominating and shaping force on rock & roll is well chronicled, you don't really get the full range of it until you're ultimately confronted with the music itself. This two-disc, 36-track compilation drives that point home with an almost numbing intensity. Whether they're blues tunes that have been covered so many ... see all copies from $14.68!
7	J.B. Lenoir 1951-1958 [New Rose] (1992) more music like this by J.B. Lenoir see all copies from $15.96!
8	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 $7.74!
9	Folk and Blues: The Roots of Americana (2006) more music like this by Various Artists There is more to the roots of Americana than just folk and blues (gospel, for one, ought to be considered, and even jazz as well), but that quibble aside, this strange little compilation is chock-full of oddities, and if it doesn't necessarily support the claims of its title, any set that attempts to place Texas bluesman Lightnin' Hopkins and the ... see all copies from $13.64! new only from $13.64!
10	Eisenhower Blues (2006) more music like this by Various Artists A compilation of postwar urban blues sides originally released by Chicago DJ Al Benson's Parrot and Blue Lake record labels during the presidency of Dwight D, Eisenhower (1952-1960), an era made more than interesting by the Cold War, the atom bomb, the increased growth of the civil rights movement, and a prolonged crisis in Korea, Eisenhower Blues ... see all copies from $16.05! new only from $16.05!
11	Mean Old World: The Blues from 1940 to 1994 (1996) more music like this by Various Artists A four-CD, 80-song box set that, in line with similar Smithsonian productions, outlines the history of blues spanning over 50 years, with cuts by major performers who represent its stylistic evolution. The set is stuffed with classics by the likes of Muddy Waters, Louis Jordan, T-Bone Walker, Little Walter, Big Mama Thornton, Howlin' Wolf, Elmore ... see all copies from $100.00! new only from $100.00!
