The Definitive Collection

The Definitive Collection (2007) more music like this

by Howlin' Wolf

At six foot three and 270 pounds, Chester Burnett was a bear of a man, but his voice, rough and harsh as broken Delta glass, was what really gave him dimension. A powerful blues shouter out of the Charley Patton mold, Burnett (or Howlin' Wolf, as he came to be known) brought a feral fire to his vocals that made him sound like a gale force ...

Martin Scorsese Presents the Blues: The Best of the Blues

Martin Scorsese Presents the Blues: The Best of the Blues (2003) more music like this

by Various Artists

A massive media campaign comprising seven documentary films broadcast on public television and released as a DVD box set, plus accompanying soundtrack albums, a 13-part radio series, a companion book, 12 individual artist compilations, and a five-CD box set, The Blues, executive produced by filmmaker Martin Scorsese, threatened to be even more all ...

Bad News Is Coming

Bad News Is Coming (1973) more music like this

by Luther Allison

The very thing that made Luther Allison noteworthy became an albatross around his neck. Years after his initial run of records in the '70s, he was known for the same thing he was at the time -- he was the only blues artist on Gordy, or any Motown affiliated label. This was true and novel, but many focused on the novelty, not the truth, ignoring ...

In Your Arms Again

In Your Arms Again (2005) more music like this

by John Hammond, Jr.

John Hammond, Jr. fell in love with country blues in the early '60s, and he has never shaken it out of his system. Over time he has developed into a gritty guitar and harp player, and while his voice still feels like someone imitating a rustic Southern blues singer rather than actually being one (Hammond is a lifetime New Yorker, after all), he ...

20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Howlin' Wolf

20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Howlin' Wolf (2003) more music like this

by Howlin' Wolf

While this 12-track collection of Howlin' Wolf's prime Chess material is classic electric blues music, it's a distinctly less worthy deal than the 20-track His Best. The latter anthology has the classic "How Many More Years," "Howlin' for My Darling," "Shake for Me," and "Three Hundred Pounds of Joy," none of which make it onto this briefer scoop; ...

Sooner or Later

Sooner or Later (1968) more music like this

by John Hammond

Like several of Hammond's early albums, this 1968 effort would ultimately sound less impressive than it did at the time, simply because the original versions of the ten songs Hammond covered would become much more accessible. The material selected did testify to his good taste, but also stuck to the tried-and-true, including classics like "Dust My ...

The Devil's Music

The Devil's Music (2003) more music like this

by TV Original Soundtrack

The Devil's Music is the three-disc soundtrack to a BBC television documentary on American blues that aired originally in 1976 at the height of the punk explosion in Britain. What makes this an important set are the many old blues artists captured here doing new live versions of their signature songs; and since many of them have since passed on, ...

The Blues Roots of the Rolling Stones

The Blues Roots of the Rolling Stones (2008) more music like this

by Various Artists

It's hardly a state secret that the Rolling Stones started out as a blues cover band in 1962, and that the blues has always underpinned their long career, even as they flirted at different times with pop, disco, and reggae touches. The blues was always the touchstone, and this 22-track collection dips into some of the band's obvious influences, ...

Canned Heat/Boogie with Canned Heat

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 ...

Giant of the Blues

Giant of the Blues (2008) more music like this

by Willie Dixon

When Willie Dixon left his native Mississippi and traveled north to Chicago, he almost single-handedly dragged the blues with him into the modern era, giving the country blues a hard, new sheen with his deft songwriting, sturdy bass playing and his considerable talents as a producer and arranger. This two-disc, 47 track set catches Dixon wearing ...

Moanin' the Blues (2005) more music like this

by Howlin' Wolf

Chester Burnett was a bear of a man, but his voice, rough and harsh as broken Delta glass, was what really gave him dimension. A powerful blues shouter out of the Charley Patton mold, Burnett (or Howlin' Wolf, as he came to be known) brought a feral fire to his vocals that made him sound like a gale-force hurricane in front of the microphone. But ...
