1	Can't Quit the Blues (2006) more music like this by Buddy Guy Legend status came late to Buddy Guy, so it shouldn't be surprising that this is the first box set devoted to the blues giant's work. Yet it is still a bit of a shock, because Guy, it seems, has always been a part of the modern blues scene, ubiquitous even in the late '60s at the era's high-profile rock and folk festivals, playing the hippie ... see all copies from $42.60! new only from $42.60!
2	The Very Best of Buddy Guy (1992) more music like this by Buddy Guy Credible attempt to digitally summarize Buddy Guy's entire pre-Silvertone career on a single 18-song disc. Encompasses the guitarist's 1957 demo "The Way You Been Treating Me," two killer Cobras, four of his hottest Chess sides, a couple notable Vanguards, a pair of alluring Atlantics, and three tremendously unsubtle 1981 items from Guy's days ... see all copies from $6.22! new only from $16.57!
3	Buddy's Blues (Chess 50th Anniversary Collection) (1997) more music like this by Buddy Guy As part of MCA's Chess Records 50th Anniversary series, Buddy's Blues sweats Guy's multi-disc retrospective, The Complete Chess Studio Recordings down to a scintillating 15-track package and comes up with a bare-bones winner. There are loads of great guitar on classics like "First Time I Met the Blues," "Let Me Love You Baby," "Pretty Baby," "My ... see all copies from $8.66! new only from $8.66!
4	Complete Blue Horizon Sessions (2006) more music like this by Chicken Shack Formed and led by guitarist/vocalist Stan Webb, Chicken Shack were one of the first bands to be signed to the Blue Horizon label in the mid-'60s. As of this compilation's release in 2006, Webb was still fronting a version of the group. While never attaining any success in the States, Chicken Shack were well known in the U.K., with fleeting success ... see all copies from $16.99! new only from $16.99!
5	Lightning in a Bottle (2004) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Lightning in a Bottle is the double-disc soundtrack to the documentary film of the same title directed by Antoine Fuqua and shot at a February 7, 2003, concert at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

6	I Was Walking Through the Woods (1974) more music like this by Buddy Guy This slim yet potent sampler of Guy's excellent early-'60s work for Chess will no doubt please newcomers looking for a bargain introduction to the blues guitarist/vocalist's prime sides. With his guitar tapped for maximum intensity, spiky and tremolo-heavy, and those vocals all pathos-rich screams and in-the-pocket bravado, Guy especially hits ... see all copies from $5.72! new only from $9.09!

8	Live: The Real Deal (1996) more music like this by Buddy Guy As close as Buddy Guy's ever likely to come to recapturing the long-lost Chess sound.

Smith's horn-leavened Saturday Night Live Band and pianist Johnnie Johnson in lush support, Guy revisits his roots on sumptuous readings of "I've Got My Eyes on You," "Ain't That ... see all copies from $4.95! new only from $12.69!

19 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.
